realized that II is virtually a standoh between
those who walk and those who ride.
In point Of numbers participating. easily the
greatest Easter fashion parade IN America ID
that which takes place on this "eyennui DAY on
the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. People mock
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 10O. 900
people In the Easter parade at Atlantic City
and they devote themselves to marching and
countermarch1ng on that fve-mile elevated
esplanade because there Is little else to do at
Atlantic City at Easter when 1t Is, Of course,
too cold for sea bathing.
The Atlantic City parade Of fashion starts in
the morning, though 1t is not timed to accord
with church services, for the simple reason
that only a 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 or 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 1t is a continuation OF the
same grand march Of the gaudy dressers. How
any of them manage to get lunch is a mystery.
for the crowd on the Boardwalk never suffers
any diminution from mid-morn to dusk, and in
decd 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 1restdes.

The Babylonian merchant banked
regularly and issued his brick checks"
and bills of exchange. and the law
stepped in, even as it does today. to
preserve inviolate the rights Of prop
erty. So keen were the business in
stincts of the people that even the
priests were not above a deal in offer
ings and in real estate. Indeed a great
part Of the commerce Of Babylonia
was concentrated in the temples.
The vast quantities Of metals, cere-

sold by the priests, who did not neg
lect to get their full margin Of profit.
Business ability indeed seems to have
been an important qualification for
admission to the priesthood. Careful
accounts Of revenue and expenditure
were kept, and these show that invest
ments In loans and the purchases Of
land and other profitable dealings
were a regular part Of the fiscal &C
tivities of the priestly establishments.

THE LURE OF WEALTH

Babylonians had made such progress
in commercial aptitude that special
laws had to be framed TO deal with
those men who tried short cuts to
wealth, says the Accountant. The
young man with expectations realized
in those days with less regard to the
s%acredness Of the person and the right
to live, borrowed. as his modern pro-
totype not infrequently does today,
from the professional money lender.

able on this occasion. So to in most OF the
smaller cities the church hour Is accounted the
logical time for fashions review because there
is nothing to call forth the population en-
masse at any other time in the day-unless 1t
be, mayhap, to evening church service When'
of course, it is too dark to have fanciful toll
cites appear to the best advantage.
In some of our cities, however, notably In
the national capital, it has come about that IN
recent years there are in effect two fasnion
parades on Easter. The first is held, as above
mentioned, at the conclusion OF the morning
church service, but the newer and more popu'
lar promenade comes late in the afternoon
when well dressed people of all ages traverse
