SIGNS OF THE
EASTER TIDE
ARE SHOWN IN MANY NEW NOV
ELITES TYPICAL OF THE
SEASON..

With the near approach of Easter
many Of the novelties of the season
are making their appearance. There
are all sorts of rabbits, eggs and con.
celts in candies while some of the
Easter tokens in the nature of cards
and presents are very elaborate. This
year there is an especially large va.
riety of Easter postafs. There are
indications that tGis fad is gaining
rather than decreasing, and the deal.
~ers have laid in larger supply than
they had for st. PatrIck's day. when
supplies were exhausted.
Other Easter novelties include Gun,
ming stuffed chickens, full grown rab,
bits, whose heads remove to disclose
a candy-tllled interior, and many
other novelties.
Indivations this year point to an
unusually large quantity of eggs be-
ing offered in the local market at the
Faster period. Large shipments are
being made by river from the lower
valley, from whence come most of
the eggs. IL mas been predicted that
15eent eggs are not an impossibllity.
Flowers this Easter will be plenti.
ful, as a result of the little cold
weather experienced and the removal
OF much of the difficulty that sur
rounds their culture. Easter flowers
will likely be cheaper than was the
case last Easter. and the Easter
flower markets will be beautiful to
behold.
