'3 EASTER SERVICES IN THE CHURCHES | St. George's Cathedral. Never in the hundred years St George's has stood in the heart of Kingston have there 'been larger congregations, as many communi- céants, more, inspiring sermons, more beautful flowers or finer music, than on Easter Sunday. Two hun- dred communicants were at the 6.30 + celebration of the Holy Communion, when Rev. J. C. Dixon was celebrant, and at '8 o'clock, when Rev. W. E Kidd celebrated, the number was larger still. The Bishop of Ontario celebrated at the choral Eucharist at 11 o'clock when Eyre's office for the Holy Communion was sung, Mr. Eyton Warburton taking the solo in -the creed. During the offertory the anthem, "King All Glorious," was sung, the treble solo being sweetly taken by Herbert Kidd and Mr. War- burton, and Mr. C. B. B. Harvey taking the bass solos. Rev. W. E.| Kidd gave an inspiring Easter ser- mon. The cathedral was decorated | with a profusion of lilies and on the | ~ dean's stall was a cross sent in mem- ory of the late Dean G. L.

Grubby Groundhog Follows His Pe Nose. Nancy and Nick and the Mdrch Hare stood beside Grubby Ground- hog's bed in Grubby's underground house, and watched him as he slept. What did he care about the Land- Where-Spring-Was-Coming! He was having a grand time where he was. Outside the snow was just about gone, there was only a little handful here and there sticking in around fence-corners and stones, the sky was blue and the air was really as Warm as pie. Nancy and Nick and the March Hare were laughing. For Grubby was acting so funny in his sleep. I'll tell you now why he was acting so funny. Because the March Hare had cut a big red apple in two and laid the pieces right under Grubby"s nose. Now groundhogs like apples about as well as you like chocolate ice- cream soda, or a sail-boat sundae, or custard pie. So it's no wonder Grubby's poor nose was wriggling itself off nearly. He was dreaming. ~He was dreaming that it wassum= 5 Brown's morning subject ! Princess | mer and he was stuffing his sides out with sweet apples in a sweet apple orchard. "There's a fine one," he would mutter in Iris sleep. *'That big apple over there by the old grindstone. See! It just fell off the tree and never got bruised a bit and there a¥en't any ants on it. Not that I'd mind an ant or two. Some of them are mighty sweet." Then Grubby snored twice and turned over "Say, where's that nice big sweet | apple?" he muttered. "It's gone. It | was over by this old grindstone and | now I can't even as much as smell | it" ~ The March Have took ono of the big pieces of apple he had cut and held it under Grubby's nose. "Come along, old man," he said firmly. "Come along. We'll find it." Grubby threw back the covers and got slowly out of bed. Then all he did, my dears, was to follow his nese, ! "Oh, look!" giggled Nancy. "He's still asleep." "Yes," said Nick, "He thinks he's still in the orchard smelling that big sweet apple." "Come right along, Grubby," said the March Hare, wagging one ear at the Twing/ which isthe way rabbits wink at you séfoetimes. "Come right along, Mister Groundhog." Then he took a step and Grubby took a step, then he took another step and Grubby took another step, the March Hare always carefully holding the plece of apple just far enough from Grubby's nose for him to smell it, They went along the crooked hall and out of the front door by the po- tato patch; the Twins quietly follow- ing, and then they came to the little secret bush that is the beginning of Scrub-Up Land. That magic place, ruled by Mister Rubadub, where all the meadow folk have to get groom- ed up so they'll look decent for spring. Before Grubby so much as opened his eyes, they were right at Ruba- dub's house. And the very first person Grubby saw was that fairyman with a towel over his arm and a big pair of scis- sors in his hand. Grubby tried to bolt, but he was too slow. They washed him up and trimmed his whiskers and slicked up his tail and combed him and brushed him and 1 think they put a few drops of | brilliantine on him. But it was of | no use, Grubby just wuldn't shine. But he looked better 'when at last h: waddled off to the Land-Where- Spring-Was-Coming. Oh yes! L for- got! He got the apple after all and [so Ye wasn't mad a bit. EASTER WEEK | Apparel Display!
