Apollo smiled on humanity the early
part o th day yesterday and deigned
to remember that It waa Easter. Many
a matron donned her Easter , bonnet,
which sh had Scanned for two, day
with doubting sighs, and many girls
put on their llsht frocks and trlnned
contentedly to Sunday school ; and
church. For Phoebus had decided to
lend th light of hi countenance to
Easter Sunday though he had 'hidden
it for two davs previous in dark storm
elouds.
It mattered not so much that he ex
f erienced a whimsical change of mind
n th afternoon. The. all-important
moment, th narad of SDrina- frocks
ana nets to tn churches, had been el
lowed In sunshine and warmth and tho
