Easter Sunday will fall on March 23 in 1948, the earliest date since 1856, with the latest possible date near April 25.

Left slipper tale turns wife invisible in German fable
A cobbler and his wife Zenobia receive magical slippers from a grateful stranger. The left slipper renders the wearer invisible, and the right one returns visibility. The wife vanishes after donning the left slipper, while the cobbler discards the right slipper into a well. A joke about giving up habits ends the fragment.
