For some, it is a marvelous day j)f peace and contentment with family Mid friends around a festive dinner table, Jor others, it is brunch in elegant hotels parading in finery. For still others, it a day of misery and poverty just like ivery other day. For us, it is a day of Memories, many incredibly marvelous jwd some very, very sad. 'V I remember all the Easter preparations jfariade many years ago by our Irish-English immigrant family in a small Midwestern town. For frantic weeks my mother, tight-lipped with tension, cleaned nd scrubbed," polished the silver, and gashed ironed, and meticulously hung he kitchen curtains.

The menu was made out at the family supper table days ji advance and after much discussion, it always ended up being baked ham ind sweet potatoes, My Irish-born father that gentle, love-y man, went about his duties, closing his Vars to the eternal talk of the five women i'i the house. The car was, diligently Polished in our small garage, and my lather always removed the layer of iteaves (which served as a winter blanket against the frost) from the front lawn. ii DURING THOSE Depression years, my three sisters and I didn't always have 5ew Easter outfits, but we. always had sew sailor hats. I can remember that my aat always had a flower, because I was foe oldest, I suppose.

I still can remember my father careful, (y boiling the eggs on the kitchen stove grid the "putt-putt" sound as the eggs lanced up and down in the boiling water. We gathered around the kitchen table and put all our childish enthusiasm into jecorating the eggs. My sister, Kay, tired Sf the egg-coloring easily, and her last eggs were dreary and and she would Invariably break a few toward the We delighted in writing our names on the eggs in wax and then dyeing them so the names stood out brightly. My Easter task was to get the Easter oaskets, filled with bright purple and green paper straw, out of the attic every year the same baskets saved from the time I was'' a little girl until I was a sen-ager. My father hid the eggs in the same laces every year, but we never offended is pride by saying so.

We instinctively must have known he had many other -things to worry about. AND I REMEMBER we all got haircuts the day before the holiday, and my father washed all four heads in assembly-line fashion!" Before we went, to church, my English- born mother had the dining room table 6et with her beautiful Sheffield silver, English china, and Irish linen tablecloth -heavy with handmade lace that she had brought from her home a remembrance of the elegant and well-born life she-had lived there and which she missed sorely every single day of; her life. As the last of our bangs were combed and our hats straightened, we knew our mother had prepared every detail of the dinner down to the last salt cellar. She was that kind of woman until the day she died. I remember that as we went down the church aisle, we jostled one another to see who could manage to get the end seat to show off our new Easter finery.

Yes, I remember. I do remember. MY DAUGHTER is an only child, and her father, who has been dead these many years, was an only child. I tried to accustom them to the wonderment of a large, happy family holiday. It is impossible to do when the family is not large, but it is not impossible to create the same happiness.

AND I REMEMBER how Easter has been in the last few years, and sometimes I wonder if this is all happening to the same little girl with the flower on her sailor hat. No more the family unit; so one goes to where the family exists now. My daughter has taught her young daughter to hand-color eggs but also buys more beautiful and intricately designed 4 eggs to be hidden for an egg hunt, I will be with my family this Easter'i Sunday, but I will remember again the 1 Easter Sundays of my childhood. I re-, member and am thankful for today and all the yesterdays. wm KLJ- OMEGA Replacement sTrnos "25 "off!
