" FASHION'S SHOW :' AT EASTERTME With virtually every community throughout the civilized world com memorating lOiister, it is not until the "following Monday that perhaps the JuoBt picturesque of Easter celebra- tlons the annual egg rolling of the AVhite Houhp iHwn taken place. The White House ground on this day are not exactly barred to adults, but the guards at the vailous gates are Instructed to permit no grown 'persons to enter the grounds unless they ' are acting as chaperons for youngsters. In other words, a child and an Easter egg constitute tickets of admission, on this day of days among the 305. , ' MoHt of the egg rolling, egg eating -and egg squashingand of the latter there is a great deal occurs on the spacious green-carpeted lawn to the outh of the executive mansion. Here the gently rolling slope is eminently adapted to egg rolling, while the beau tiful trees, shrubbery and flower beds, provide truly sylvan surroundings, with the broad Potomac glistening In the picture.- . ' Famous Band Entertains. , : One a grassy elevation before the :outh portico Is the famous United States Marine band, end while the little ones munch hard boiled eggs, or crush those which should have been hard-boiled, but weren't, they are en tertained by a, selected" program of music. An exception to the general rule re garding the admission of the adults to the grounds is made in the case of the President and Mrs. Oolirtge, who .affLstt for a while, to enjoy the music and greet the children. For half an hour or more they pass among the little ones, often pausing to chat with them, and happy the child who has the good fortune to be 'Singled out for conversation by the presidential -couple. Though the commemoration of the Easter festival prevails throughout Christendom, and Is observed In some manner In every village and hamlet of the United States, particularly now that sunrise services are becoming more and more popular, there are at least two observances of the season Tfliheut mention of which to account of the festival would be complete. These are "the annual fashion display -on the boardwalk at Atlantic City, and the fashion parade on Fifth avenue, JMow Xork city. f-'art year, despite somewhat threat- that no ded the ry. and Fifth avenue made an equally impres sive showing. i . Commerce Takes Hand. Aside from the apparently frivolous aspect of these fashion demonstra tions, however, they are coming to have a very rpal commercial Impor tance. It is in these parades that styles for the coming season in both male and female wearing apparel are set, and It probably would be found that a startling percentage of those in the throngs of the boardwalk and fifth avenue were in some way or eth er connected with the clothing, haber dashery or millinery Industry. Manufacturers, designers and buy ers from the great department stores and exclusive mode shops are there, as well as less affluent, but no less earnest, village dressmakers and mil liners from the nearby towns, all eager for the dernier cri In styles. By the same token, the artist, with pad and pencil, has become so com mon a sight at these gathertags as to ipass almost unnoticed. Let a mannt kln from seme exclusive women's wear shop appear sporting the latest creation of its chief designers, and she 'is likely to find herself .with a self-appointed escort, of four or five of these sketch artists, wielding their pencils for dear life, and utterly ob livious of the rest of their surround ings. ' The week following, the houses they represent, and by whom they are often paid relatively high salaries; will be able,, thanks' to. 'the1 sketches, to offer the same mode! at perhaps a lower' figure than that quoted by the original designer. LOCAL COMPANY LANDS CONTRACTS Two Great Reasons torr. Rejoicing at Easter While the earth remalneth, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Summer and winter, , Day and night Shall not ceaae. The happy coincidence which brings the spring of the year and. Easter day so close together makes for a very Joyous- occasion. In fact the word Easter Is derived from Eoster, who was the Goddess of Light, or Spring, which makes the association between the two even closer. ' v But even Christmas does not carry the glad promise of Easter. Socially, the season has come to mean the re sumption of more formal and larger gatherings after the comparative quiet of Lent And the children find in the legends of the Easter hare and the enthusiastic, pursuit of his colored eggs, the same mystery that has made Santa Claus live through the age.- Exchange. The Key City Decorating company, John W. Edwards, manager, sent a force of men to Highlands Thursday on contracts to pamt a hotel and some dwellings in that town.
