ATLANTIC CITY, April 20.-Three miles
OF happy humanity, filling the boardwalk
from rail to rail, enjoyed a Victory
Easter here to-day, nearly SOC, 900 yisi-
tors joining in a great style demonstra-
ton, striking because of its free use Of
bright colors which for two years had
been missing from the annual pageant
From 10 o'clock this morning until late
| In the afternoon the great planked way
was TANNED to capacity from far up
around the inlet down into Chelsea. 1t
| was next to impossible to push through
the ranks OF the visitors faster than a
| slow walk. The press was so great
| that roller chairs forming two solid
| lines on special paths on each side OF
the walk could move but a few feet at
time, but the patrons were satisfied to
enjoy the review from their comfortab BILE
seats
The spectacular features were not con-
| fined to the Board Walk or the beach
with its several hundred sun and sea
bathers. High up-l 900 feet above the
paraders--wheeled airplanes In the first
aerial Easter parade ever staged along
| the coast. The armies below were halted
| time and again by the graceful daring
OF the birdmen. Their flying was amaz-
to hundreds of overseas men, whose
olive drab uniforms contrasted with the
brilliant plumage Of the thousands who
rubbed elbows with them, Il was but
| reminiscent OF the skyscraping scouting
and battle formations that had been a
| part OF the daily scenery only a few
months back.
| New Millinery Creations.
The Easter bonnet came back to-day /;
| milady, after patriotic sacrifice for the
\ past two years in the annual fashion
| shows, bloomed forth once more with
full accoutrements OF the season. The
! military hat Of last year with it's close
| fitting mode was missing. Big picture
| styles, with wide or smartly fiaring
brims and an abundance OF color, were
in evidence everywhere. Pansies with
their rich colorings had the widest popu-
larity in trimmings Peoples, roses and
arbutus also had large following
! Deep reds and blues. or a combination
Of the two, crown Of red and brim of
| blue. or facings under the brim OF one
or the other color in contrast were de-
| cidedly In evidence. Rough straws
largely OF the basket weave variety out
| distanced all others in materials
| Blue capes of three-Quarters length
with lines of lowered silks were much
worn. Coat suits. smartly tailored. were
| usually OF blue, steel gray or light
| brown. Their real colorings came in the
panel effects, which extended from the
throat to few inches below the waist
line. Waistcoats Of sweater materials
silks and fine brocades were next to
the bonnets in attracting attention.
There were few freak costumes. II
| was the best dressed Easter parade the
city ever entertained. The boardwalk
| was "everybody's land"
Mayor Hylan OF New York was early
on the walk. In his party were Mr. and
Mrs. Charles F. Murphy. Representative
and Mrs. Thomas Smith. Grover Whalen
Mrs. Hylan and Miss Virginia Hylan.
