The Easter of 1917 is not going to
be like the Easter of 1916 said the
weather man this afternoon. Last
year the great Christian holiday fell
on March rs and in Bismarck the day
was fair but cold, Tomorrow there
will be plenty Of sunshine and what
might be called perfect day. The
temperature will be 20 degrees above
the maximum reading of last Easter.
The annual parade of Easter fash
ion-and every city has it's show,
from the smallest rural town to the
metropolis Of the world-will unques'
tionably be the greatest display that
the Capital City has seen. Fetching
models this spring in suits and hats
are most striking. Bismarck, too,
has become a fashion center for the
west and the central portions of the
state, the merchants sparing no cost
in bringing the latest styles to the
city.
Dinners and Parties.
Dinner and other parties have been
planned. In other years, where the
parade was limited for the most part
to the walks, automobiles will this
year move fashion along. Probably
one of the most interesting drives
during the day will be to the vicinity
of the river. which has swept over it's
banks and has flooded the bottoms
for miles in this vicinity.
Special arrangements have been
made at the Mckenzie and Grand Pa
citic for dinner parties. The manage
ment of the Mckenzie announced this
afternoon that dinner will be served
from the hours of 1890 to 8 o'clock
and that there will be special mu-
sic. The regular hours will be in
effect Easter Sunday at the Grand
Pacific. Luncheon will be from 1890
o'clock to 1880 O'Clock and Easter
dinner from until o'clock in the
evening. Regular hours are annOunc-
ed by the management of the Van
Horn cafe and grillroom.
The Feast Of EGGS"
Easter is usually considered as the
feast Of eggs" Eggs are luxury in
North Dakota this year. but the little
child is going to have his or her COL
ored ones, just the same. The rabbit
was seen cavorting around on several
of the yards of the different homes
this morning. Many colored beauties
were left. At the hotels the chefs
were busy coloring eggs and making
extraordinary preparations for the
Easter dinners. At the homes, the
same process was in progress.
Window displays for Easter in the
Capital City have been wonderfully
inviting. The showing of military
styles in suits has brought purchas-
ers to Bismarck from Mandan, James
town, Dickinson, Beach and other
points. The trains were heavy with
Easter shoppers who arrived today.
Merchants report an excellent spring
trade.
Floral Displays Pretty.
Floral displays in many of the
stores, the homes and churches indi-
! cate that the greenhouses enjoyed
brisk business. Lilies will be seen
in every church at the services tomor-
row. The out of town shipment of
flowers probably was the heaviest this
season of any Easter time. The ex-
press Office at the Northern Pacific
and the 500 passenger stations we're
taxed today with packages containing
| flowers.
