Milady on Easter Sunday turns
her thoughts. if not her presence,
to the throng- packed Boardwalk Of
the Playground Of the World
For, however brilliant the fashion
promenades of Fifth avenue and
other famous boulevaris, America

It is no uncommon record when
100000 visitors move along the
wooden way on an Easter Sunday
Nor viii it be surprise to rail-
roads and hotel men if the numbers
approaches 100000. Atlantic City
is fully capable of handling such
crowds, as it has demonstrated
labundantly.
1t. has been the happy ability Of
Atlantic City's 1900 hotels to meet
whatever pressure may arise. And
1.-THE extraordinary railroad schedules
of the Reading and Pennsylvania

convenient railroad service accord

Tuning in on WPG.
Some enlightenment on fhe
preparations being made here TO
receive and entertain the Easter
crowd may be had by tuning in al
night on WPG, the municipal radio
broadeasting station.
America provides no more spec
taeular scene than that Of Easter
Sunday, when the eight-mile Board
walk is a mass of brillianfly-ap-
pareled men and women. stroliing
pleasantly along the worlds
pioneer and most famous wooden
way, or leasurely weaving through
the crowd in rolling chairs.
1t is a crowd that moves slowly.
For it's members pause 10 View one
another and to note the hues and
patterns Of the new seasons styles
None is hurried and there is
unique thrill in the leisure Of the
crowd.
