sou.
The fair maidens who did brave the
weather for their usual Easter promen-
ade and to show their new hats and
pretty gowns, suffered much from the
wind. 1t was especially windy at Dela-
ware avenue and Market street and
many of the fair promenaders imagined
on turning that particular corner that
the wind was taking a portion of their
hats with it. After the Sunday Schools
dismissed it was hard for anyone stand
ing on Il corner along Delaware avenue
or Market street to notice anything but
the tuttcring of the feathers in the
yorng women's hats and the flowers
which seemed to form part of their
dress All the young people were smil-
ing and chatting and all of them We're
apparently happy even though the wind
was playing havoc with their Easter
hats.
