chickies and chocolate eggs with one
exception, which perhaps was not an
exception after all. Be that as 1t may
/ was highly amused while waiting for
O package in a Chestnut street store
on Saturday afternoon to hear Mr.. and
Mrs. L discussing what they had
purchased for each little T at
home. For, of course, the Easter Bun
ME is getting almost as important as
Santa. Among other things daddy had
purchased chocolate eggs and had had
the name of member of the family
engraved on each one He was car
rying his purchases in n small grip,
and when the package he was waiting
for was given to him he lifted out
book to find room in the satchel. Mrs.
E suddenly broke into peals of
laughter and then said: "Oh, but what
will we do? It's too late to get an
other one marked. If only Harry were
not the youngest he would not mind
SO much" Sure enough, chocolate and
cream, with "HAR" left on one side,
was all squashed up over n perfectly
good book. Between laughter Mrs.
E exclaimed, "Well, we ought to
be thankful it is not a library book"
They hurried off to see if they could
possibly get another marked, and L
hope for Harry's sake they did. Ger
tainly the combination of book and
chocolate was no beautiful sight.
There was n terrific crowd on the
Boardwalk at Atlantic City yesterday;
everybody one knows and every one one
did not know mingled in the vast
throng.
Boardwalk crowds were thrilled by
the antics of two photographers, one
a moving.picture man, who made pic
lures of the Easter parade and of At
lantic City from the highest dome of the
Hotel Traymore.
