Viewed with the impartial eve .,
never before has witnessed th. ,.,..s
Ing spectacle OF a spring "fasblos
rade" at this gayest of CAV c,..
would appear that the lilies Of ~. \,
were all out in full force-and MA
they toll or not during the w.sv
tainly Solomon in all his glory wa, y
arrayed as one of these.
Speaking of celebrity such A. a.

MODELS DIDN'T APPEAR
The fashion parade was dellsh,ss
enough, although Hlcksons exp.s,.
models with their stunning New Yu.
creations did not turn up as anticlp,t,l
And, although various exciting rlmo,.
had been circulated as to the nron.,.
aiding Of models from various stores. n,
promenading was confined chiefly Ia N,
pleasure-seekers who crowded on a.
Boardwalk. The fashion parade M.
was more amateur than professional /,
character but none the less very M,
cessful and entertaining. The upcR.
cial always carries interest with 4
somehow, and many of the costumes IN
yesterday had the indlvlduality M
nannequins' attire often lacks.
The hose of two spring maldens In IA.
ticular really called for appreciates
The skirts were decidedly abbreylatN
and left very little of either foo,rsr
or hose to the imagination. One pTsiiy
girl had zebra-strped stockings. d,
black-and-whit rings alternating about
half an inch wide. The other had lIfhI
suede boots lacing up the side and M,

Another young woman was seen on N,
Boardwalk with stockings OF a tartan a.

Speaking of things Scottish, the IA.

ankles yesterday, but also to headgsM.
Harry Lauder hats were in evidence

AS TO SPRING ToPCoATs.
Where spring topcoats were concerns
one saw many corduroys of brilliant ID.
ors everywhere, the pink and geranlun
shades being popular; also vivid hiaa

affetas were to the fore. while the popu.
ar suits were of dark blue, with toucha

The Boardwalk on spring Sunday Ger

nerrily at one and the same time, and
