tire civilized world rises in glad ac-
claim, in remembrance Of the resur-
rectlon OF Christ; the close of the
Lenten period and the return OF the
time when the social whirl again re-

Gays Salt Lake people, in common with

ton and the world starts out to again
enjoy life in all of its brilliancy.

mons appropriate to the day. Floral

Jooy and happiness.
Fine Weather Predicted.
OF greatest Importance, perhaps, to
tne sentler sex today is the prediction
that fair weather win prevail.
Fine for hats, so far as the sky is
concerned, but decidedly colder" was
the verdict handed down yesterday aft
ternoon by A. H. Thiessen, section d..
rector for the United States weather
bureau. and the news will bring hap
plness to many fair maid who today
plans 10 participate in the annual
Easter promenade.
New gowns and hats will be displayed
in profusion, and If the weather man is
true to his promise, and causes Old Sol
to shine in all Of his glory. the Easter
display in Salt Lake will be a thing
of splendor.
In anticipation of Easter, the Salt
Lake florists have during the past few
DAYS experienced their greatest bust
ness OF the year. Easter lilies, natural
ly, have been the chief demand while
other potted plants appropriate TO the
Easter period follow in close order. Old
time florists declare this years business
TO De in great excess of that Of former
years, not only IN the demand for spe-
cial Easter flowers, but for the ordin-
airy cut flowers, such as roses, carna-
tons, cut lilies. etc.
Lilies In Demand.
Some idea Of the business in lilies
may be had when it is stated that one
floral store alone has disposed of over
1'OOo' plants, each containing from three
10 SIX or seven blooms. Hyacinths
have become quite popular, while many
tulips have been sold, but the Easter
lily today reigns supreme.
Cut flowers are plentiful, and the de-
mand for them continues. A feature
this year is that there are no violets on
the local market, but the demand for
this variety Of flower has fallen off
somewhat with the increased demand
Tor the more appropriate Easter posies.
Church services today will be attend
ed by hundreds and hundreds of peo-
pie who ordinarily are too busy with
business and social affairs to stem
within the sacred precincts. Eastertine
Is the one occasion when people of all
creeds arise and acclaim and worship
In commemoration Of the return to life
OF the Savior. The services in the larger
churches Will be of especial sisnia-
canoe and splendor, and the sermons
Will be with especial reference to the
Easter festival
