Newark VIII Celebrate Easter
Festival Nth Wonted Splendor

just a wee bit of its glory. No, not it's
glory, its style. Women have had to
listen to so many jibes about their
Easter bonnets and their fashion of
waiting until Easter day to wear them
that many have donned straw hats
already, or intend to wait another week.
Nevertheless there are enough adher-
ers TO custom to make a splendid show
iEg. Just as many will go to
church in order to see what their neigh
bors are wearing as in years that have
tucked themselves away in memory
There will be the same number of anx-
ious souls wondering through the various
anthems if their hats are on at exactly
the correct angle, and if their new
gowns are wrinkles. And just as many
sly glances will be cast over Shout
ders to see if ones clothes are properly
appreciated by those in the pew behind.
And-there win be just as many to
strut up and down the principal streets
during the hour that separates church
time from Sunday dinner, and again in
the afternoon, after said dinner has
gone the way of all good dinners.
One loves to see the tots in all their

pleased with the smart little coats and
diminutive skirts or natty Knockers that
Dame Fashion deems correct this year.
Let's hope the day will be warm. for
many. many fond, though imprudent
mothers are sure to let their youngsters
show their bare, chubby knees above
white socks. Aren't you fond of the
bob" or Dutch cut worn by so many
wee folk just now? To most of them it
is vastly becoming, making their faces
seem so round and jolly that you want
TO kiss them all.
Easter Girls.
Queen of the Easter parade is the
Easter Girl.
Out of doors she is to be very much
tailored. Severe lines. stitched seams,
tight. tight sleeves and narrow skirts
are her features. Serge, finely woven.
is the material she loves best. though
shadow-striped prunella, lightweight
broadcloth and a few fine panama
cloths are seen.
Goats VIII be shorter this season than
in several years. The longest viii just
reach fngertip length. Many win just
cover the hips. Belted effects will be
very popular, both in coats and dresses.
The natty Norfolk jacket, with its box
plaits, cuffs and belt, is to be very much
in evidence. Skirts are going to be
narrow. even when they are plated.
1t is hard to believe that some of the
new materials are called serge. so vio-
lently do they contrast with the rough.
heavily twilled material we used TO
know by that name. The new serge is
as soft and pliable as cashmere, only it
has more body. II permits of as elab-
crate decoration as would a very fine
b%roadcloth. However. very few braided
effects are seen on the new garments,
except on the edges of collars and cuffs
which are faced with taffeta or moire.
Miss Easter Girl is going to be very
frivolous as to hat, as if to make UP
for the severity of her costume. The
shops show models TO suit everyone,
from the tiny flower toque to the wide
brimmed picture affair. The Chante-
cler craze has struck this country with
full force. A striking hat, noticed the
other day. was of the new gray-blue
straw, with a high crown and wide brim
faced with black paon velvet. Drap-
cries of steel-gray net covered the
crown, and at the left side the brim was
caught against the crown with q large
pheasant mount finished with long tail
feathers.
