 for Fashion
 s h o W.

Another day of summer-like weather today was further spur to Easter business. The skies cleared at mid-morning after having been overcast and large numbers of shoppers f1ocked to the downtown area.
 Secretary Frank Green of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce repeated his statement of yes terday that retail business, in view of general conditions. is quite satisfactory. Stores, especially those handling mems and women's apparel, reported good business, and were preparing for the an- nual last-minute Easter rush to- morrow morning and afternoon.
 From the number of suit and hat boxes in the arms of shippers, it appears that Waterbury's Easter parade on Sunday will be just as colorful as ever. The ex- treme mildness of the weather has, according to merchants, served as stimulus to trade in general. One especially noted ef- feet has been the great pickup of light colored and light weight garments for both men and women.
