make MANY FROCKS
FOR EASTER PARADE

Unwonted activity has been noticed
in all departments Of industry as the
passing Of each "a hours brings Eas-
ter one day nearer. Milliners and
dressmskers are at present no doubt
the most seriously affected by the
acceleration in business. Before long,
however, confectioners and florists
and all departments of storedom will
be kept busy. Florists, especially,
will very soon be rushed with all the
orders they can attend TO-
The time-honored custom of appear
ing on Eastern morn in seasonaole
raiment has lost none of its pristine
favor, and the cry of the dressmakers
and milliners on every hand is that
the task which confronts them, with
every prospect OF increasing twofold,
is gigantic. TO say the least. A glimpse
into the workroom Of any modistc.
milliner or alteration department OF
any of the department stores will
convince the most skeptical that this
season makes demands OF exceptional
magnitude upon the persons engaged
in such line of work.

! rade seem synonymous in the minds
OF a majority of women, and indeed

clear. but there is not the least shad-
ow of doubt that such an idea exists

are plaintively made that the dress
maker disappointed them"
The dressmakers and millinors hav,
taken on additional helpers and ar,
doing their utmost to have as man,
frocks and suits ready for the grea
occasion as possible, but there is
limit to human ability. and many are
beginning TO realize that the work be
fore them is too heavy for the shOr

Confectioners are busy laying il
their supply of eggs and candy "bun
