EASTER In The
CITY CHURCHES
Joy and GIadneSS the Keynote
at all Services Of the
Day

A note Of Joy and gladness filled
the churches yesterday and every
where there was the fresh. happy
atmosphere Of Easter. Choirs, aug
mented for the occasion, put forth
their best efforts, after weeks of dill
gent rehearsal, and choirmasters Of
fered the most attractive programs
they could arrange.
The churches reflected the glad
spirit in their decorations of green
palms, lilies and other flowers, and
the clergymen In their sermons spoke
eloquently Of the resurrection.
In the Sunday schools the children
we're told of the beautiful story and
in many of the schools Easter cards
or potted plants were distributed by
the teachers as souvenirs.
High winds played pranks with the
parsders. They caused wearers Of
new headgear no little trouble as they
endeavored to make progress against
the mild gale, and in the whirl and
furry of skirts there was an oc-
casional exhibit of Easter hosiery.
Several tiny snow squalls, while not
OF long duration, threatened at times
during the afternoon to send the
throngs scurrying indoors.
At times, iulled into a sense of false
security by the protection Of a block
OF residences. pedestrians would
throw back their heads and step out
briskly, until suddenly. on coming 10
an intersecting street, whoofl the
wind caught them. sweeping frail wo-
men into the thoroughfare and mis-
chieviously lifting top hats from
dignified heads and whirling them into
the gutter.
II was a troublesome wind. and
many wise women, anticipating its
pranks, left their new hats at home;
but they were in the minority. Femin-
unity has become educated to look
upon Easter Sunday as display day"
for spring costumes. and It would re-
quire a tornado to keep some women
indoors when this event comes
around.
