MARCH 31. 1917 EASTER BLOOMS SACRED SYMBOLS HERE APLENTY From Far Away Japan Come the Far-Famed Lilies DEMAND BRISK FOR FESTAL DAY Something About Flowers and Their Relation to Things Religious Who knows that the glorious Easter lilies which lift their show white blooms so proudly in Montreal today bloomed last summer in far away Japan? There those eastern islands, millions of lily bulba were planted, in that land of flowers. acres upon acres of nodding lily blooms met. the eye at the last Eastat season.

But the bulb will not produce its finest flower in the frat year, so late last summer the slanteyed laborers of the fields gathered them In and sent them to other lands to be planted once again, this time in the hot houses of the flower merchants. to bloom in the white glory of the perfect Easter lily There was a time when Montreal's Easter lilies were grown in Bermuda, but gardeners the went 1m- patiently sought to produce the per single the Tect bloom in a year, with result that blight fell upon the forced bulh. And Ho the Illy culture fell to the more patient Oriental denor. Thus, every lily that blooms in Montreal today in the second season's blossoming of a bulb that bloomed last spring in the Japanese fields, eight thousand miles away FLOWERS COME FROM FAR AWAY. Some of the most treasured flowers of the spring have come long distances.

The glorious pink azaleas and many another flowerine plant come to this continent from war stricken Belgium na do all the varieties of the palm. There within the sound of the death dealing guns the Belgian farmer has worked unceasingly among his treasured planta to create beauty for a far off continent. From about Nancy, in northern France, where fighting ham been waged continually, have come this year some of the season's most wonderful blooms, evidences of the tender care of the peasant gardeners, For, while other exporta are forbidden and trade 18 difficult and dangerous, the French and Belgians are permitted to mend the green plants that are just about to bud to the outside world by way of Holland, each plant a symbol of the hope that lies in the heart of the devastated country.

THE DARWIN TULIP. of late years, 0 new variety of Tulin known as the Darwin Tullp, has appeared upon the market, a long stemmed slender -leaved flower which lacks the garish brilliancy of the older tulip, but which has the added charm of a rare delicacy of coloring.

Every great religious festival of church brings with it Its appropriate flowers and the churches are banked with the bewildering blooms of hundred flowering plants: but never is there church festival In which the flowers in so appropriate A symbol as during the Easter season.

Typical not only of the hope of the resurrection, on which the Christian faith based, but symbolic In Itself of the great awakening. in the spring. of all the natural world, the flower 19 dear to the votaries of every faith Even the most primitive savages gather flowera to offer to their gods, knowing that they are giving earth's most beautiful product. In the very early church in Europe, the use of flowers was forbidden by the spiritual teachers because of heathen origin of the custom, but the love of the flower was set so deep in the hearts of the people that the blossoms formerly devoted to Ceres, Diana and Venus, became renamed for the Church's saints. Such names as Marigold (which once was Mary's Gold), Madonna Lily, Star of Bethlohem, and Trinity Flower, show how intimately the flowers were once bound up wita the dally religion of the people and, many are the legends that associate them with deeds in the lives of the saints and martyrs.

The name of the carnation 19 a corruption of "coronation" and was associated with the Virgin Mary. The little purple and white naters, which are called the Michaelmas daisy, flowered at "Michael's Mass." FEW ARE NATIVE. Of the flowers that bloom in these days on this continent very few are natives. The marigold and the nagturtium were found here by early explorers, and the dahlia too, though the garden variety came back later by way of Spain. Very few flour of the Western World are scented.

Always white carnation has meant disdain, and the white lily, sweetness.

Pansies have stood for thoughts, goldenrod for caution, the primrose for inconstancy and the purple hyacinth for sorrow. The sweet pea la said to mean "depart." a paradoxical meaning for one of the most beautiful of flowers. EMMANUEL MURCH.

Justice Weir Renders Judgment in Actions for Separations Major Hamilton Gault lost his suit for separation yesterday and Mrs. Gault won her counter suit. Mr. Justice Weir, who has had the case under advisement, ruled that Major Gault failed to prove the charges lady he had made against his wife, in support of the demand for a separation. On the other hand, Mrs.

Gault had proven that she had been subjected to ill usage and grievous insults at the hands of Major Gault. The Court granted her a separation and ordered Major Gault to pay her alimony at the rate of $1,400 a month. Mrs. Gault's own resources give her a revenue of $600 3. month.

The Court granted the alimony to the extent mentioned to permit her to live in the manner to which she is accustomed. Consideration was also taken of the fact that Major Gault has an income of over $60,000 a year from his fortune of $1,200,000. In the course of his judgment Mr. Justice Weir remarked: "The Court suggested to the parties the consideration of a reconciliation between thern and received no response thereto. Such reconciliation now appears improbable and even impossible and not to be in the interest of the parties." SING MAUNDER'S CANTATA.

The Wayside Piper," which WAR awarded first prize in the drama contest conducted by the Panama- Pacific Exposition, is based upon old atory of Pled Piper of Hamelin." but in Miss Edgar's dramatic adaptation the musta of the piper symbolizes the appeal of the to the hearts and minds of girls. The young authoress, herself, played the part of the Piper, In green tunic and feather cap, skipping lightly to the muste with a step similar to a schottische.

she made a charming wayside figure such an one might have expected to meet in the country roads of England In the Middle Ages. But, in spite of his appearance, the Piper is no careless wanderer. With all his galety, he la filled with a great ambition, to help those whose lives are hard or dull, particularly the girl workers of todday. Three figures, Faith, Hope and Love. present him with their priceless gifts.

Ruth Shatford. a very young girl, took the part of and did Justice to beautiful role. Any feeling of mysticism is quite dispelled in Scene IL, a modern workshop, when listless girls are painfully tolling at dull garmenta. Miss Thelma Curliffe, one of the workers, had de lightful way of exclaiming "Gee!" when her needle wouldn't thread. Suddenly the happy piper, playing his sweet motif I Hear a.

When that is over they take up their work again, but now they sing over it, for "life has music in it now." and even the work "has glory tint." Misses Stella Gillette, Maude Jones and Jean Smith were modern college girls, But education had made them no better off than their poorer sistera, for they have not heard the call resnonded to the "spirit of service" (Miss Winnifred Crossley.) Therefore, the gay little piper visits them too, and 80 through the world of girls he playa and dances, bringing the music of love into their young lives. In the Inst scene, city workers, farm girls, college students and all the charnetera doin in a benutiful chorus to the tune of Beethoven' a "Hymn of Praise." The plav was staged under the direction of Miss Blossom A. Baird. Mina Dorothy Armstrong was musical directress.

and her excellent orchestra added largely to the success of the piece.
