they cat a colored bulled egg in

as we oat them. Kittle most of
them know that these two customs
are very ancient. That of hunting
Master eggs has come down from
the earliest days when men tu
lieved that tho earth was hatched
at tiic t-prlng of the year from a
vast "mundane egg." Tho custom
of eating colored eggs for break

to oat eggs during Lent, and who,
to cetebrate, colored their first
