Palm Suni—I* still a very Important day In Serbia. Many national customs duster around this date. Before the war It was the custom for children to go to the river bank and gather willows, which they carried in their bands together with church flag.* and paraded through the streets. Now times are changed to such an extent that there Is very little enthusiasm for the national rormaliUe?. The daughter of every Serb famlly always had complete new outfits Palm Sunday, as Americans have usually on Easter. To lay there Is such privation In that country that tha children are compelled to go naked, wandering in the woods, suffering cold, hunger and fatigue. Upon the re* rupatlon of Belgrade, and as a celebration of the event, great ball was held in the Prince Be rent's Palace. The women made :* pitiful picture dressed in the clothes they had before the war. There were so few dishes remaining in the palace that refreshment* had to be aerved In relava.

A pretty bag of cretonne In a soft, misty blue effect Is long, rather than brood, like so many knitting bags.
