THT1T~~JAV r APWT. ou~ilf HECNDANSAEMAEWAIVLE OTM AG H DUTCH DORCAS A few months after tbe conclu- sion of the Second World War, the first of a steady stream of European immigrants set foot on Canadian soul. Since that day, Durham County bas welcomed .any New Canadians. *We would like to tell you about one littie lady who hails from Holland Mrs. Kooey is ber name She is round-faced and rosy cbeeked witb smiling eyes and a mouth whicb turns up pieasantly at the corners. She carne ta Bowmanviie less than a year ago with ber husband and tbree children. Like most Immigrants, Mrs. Kooey finds the tongue-twisting Engl.ish language just a bit diffi- cuit, but she is overcoming that problem through her association with one or two women's organi- zations in one of the local churcb- es. Mrs. Kooey bas neyer used the language excuse for staying away fram church. In fact, she finds that regular attendance at churcb services provides anather ,&,,eans whereby she may canquer r mother-tongue. 'WWe wanted ta tell you about Mrs. Kooey, because she is one immigrant (and there must be many more like her), who is makîng a real effort ta put some- thing back into the community whih is now ber home. As often as possible, Mrs. Kooey makes ber way ta the Bowmanville Hos- pital where with painstaking, tiny stitches she mends sheets and piliow cases and other hospitai [mnens. The Hospital staff is loucf in their praise of this Dutch Dorcas, who quietly and with a camplete lack of fuss and bother, bas wov- en ber way with the aid of needie and thread into the hearts of al who meet ber. We agree with one of the nurs- es who remarked that we Can- adians would do well to follow her example by trying ta be gen- uine]y fiendly and rquietly use- fui. If we did, there would be no strangers in aur tawn. To paraphrase a 'papular sang titie, iet's ail "Try a Little Friendliness." FASHION'S FANCIES Easter and a new bat are prac- tically synonomous ta same of aur lady friends. To give you an idea of fasbion's fancies we are quat- ing from the fashion columo of The Canadian Statesman exactiy fifty years ago: "With the first approach af Spring the thaughts of the ladies are at once turned to the new headgear that will he worn this season, and our miliiners antici- pating the tastes ofttheir custam- ers have purchased an excelientiy assorted stock of the most styiish and up ta date goads. The trimmings this year in- clude colinette, cashmere gauzes, chiffon, straw galoons, ahi over nets, malines, muslin de soie, horsebair and sequin, with nib- bons, ospreys and flawers in al the prevaiiing calors. Roses, poppies, grapes and beautiful colorings in the pastel shades and autumn tints in foliage are also included.- Hats as a rule this seasan are more compact, taques and tur- bans being greatly in evidence.

A spanish turban made of horse- hair and sequins with a pretty bow of taffeta silk and fringe and colinette rosettes will be very popular. Another hat which caught the eye of the ladies was a large white leghorn with net tucked draping and lace scarfs over it and cabbage roses underneath. The Hobbs hat had a tucked rim, fiower and foliage crown with ospreys and sequin. The Lady- smith hat made of embroidered straw tied in knots, crown of chiffon and black buckle, turned off the face with raphael roses and black angel wings is a beauty and like many others which want of roomn forbids us to describe wiil have numerous admirers. If you want a plain bat, you may have it; there are sailors galore. There are charming bon- nets for the older ladies and dainty bats for the children." There you are, ladies. Take your pick and you'li have a dilly of an Easter bonnet 1 PICTURESQUE CEREMONY 0f the many picturesque cere- monies associated in various lands with Eastertide, none was more impressive than that which was observed in Russia many years ago. Easter began at mid- night on Saturday in the oid Russian capital of St. Petersburg. Hours before this crowds of peo- pie went ta the cathedral ta pray and wait. Just before the midnigbt hour a procession of priests and dea- cons surrounded by boys carrying lanterns, started for the "sepul- chre" of our Lard, which stood in one part of the building. The chief prîest laoked into the "sep- ulchre" for the body of the Sav- iour. Then silently the proces- sion disappeared. The dlock struck twelve, and there was a profound hush. Everybody stood eagerly waiting. The procession returned, and a small silvèr bell was rung. This was the first signal to the sulent crowd of the coming event. Then the big cathedral bell boomed out one deep sonorous note, announcing to ail that the Christ was risen. Most of the people had corne with tapers in their hands. At a given signal those nearest the priest lîghted their tapers from the candies, and from one to another the fire was passed round the church until the cath- edral dazzled with thousands of lights. Ail this was carried through in silence. Presently a choir of men and boys began chanting "Christ Is Risen !" and priests passed through the crowd repeating the jayous words, "Christ Is Risen! To this the worshippers answered, "He Is Risen Indeed !"
