It contrasts that springtime gospel with today’s city churches, then shifts to local society items and a string of brief notices from Indianapolis and surrounding areas.
A brief note describes applying initials and monograms on Easter eggs using a hard pen dipped in aqua fortis prior to color treatments. It mentions drugstore preparations available to create attractive decorative effects.
