realized that it is virtually a standof between
those who walk and those who ride.
In point of numbers participating, easily the
greatest Easter fashion parade in America is
that which takes place on this eventful day on
the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. People flock
from all sections of the country to the New Jer-
sey resort. They come, many of them will tell
you because Atlantic City is supposed to have
a mild and equable spring climate, but the real
reason in most instances is a realization that
the natural study OF mankind iS man" and
that here may be found a greater assemblage
of representatives of the human race than at
any other Easter mecca on this side OF the At
lantic. There are sometimes as many as 100000
people. in the Easter parade at Atlantic City
and they devote themselves to marching and
countermarching that five-mile elevated
esplanade because there is little else to do at
Atlantic City at Easter when it is, of course,
too cold for sea bathing
The Atlantic City parade of fashion starts in
the morning, though it is not timed to accord
with church services, for the simple reason
that only small propo rtion OF the Easter Wis
itors to Atlantic City take time to attend d.
vine worship on this day OF days. Instead they
spend their time on the great wooden high
way-walking riding in those odd and lazy
wheeled chairs pushed by porters or propelled
by tricycles. At Atlantic City also there is an
other fashion parade in the afternoon, though
to be strictly accurate we should not say AN
other" In reality it is a continuation OF the
same grand march of the gaudy dressers. How
any of them manage to get lunch is mystery,
for the crowd on the Boardwalk never suffers
any diminution from mid-morn to dusk, and in
deed this spectacular continuous performance
even goes on after the electric bulbs are aglow
and Easter promenaders in other cities have
long since sought their own firesides.
