ATIANTIC CITY, April 2.-Wlth 10
miles of boardwalk for a stage nnd a
background of allver beach and opalescent
ocean, with old Sol castlnff the calcium
and every avallablo space being occu
pied, vhat better Betting could Dnrno
Fashion sn'ect on which to present her
annual production, "The Newest Thing
In Press," than old Atlantic City nt
Caster tlmo7
Thoy are all here, adore and actresses,
creators of fashion and their great army
of followers, willing slaves. Tho curtain
Is al'eady up nnd tho critics for once
ngren that wo nro witnessing a light and
pretty comedy for tho Ingenue, somewhat
of a farce for her elder sister and a.
tragedy for the fat lady, who Invariably
has trouble with her lines In the fashion
how. She has some consolation, how
ever, this season, In tho extension of tho
sheath and hobblo skirts.. Now, tho
skirts, voluminous In circumference, al
though not becoming to her. nro nt least
n. llttlo merciful rnd Just how far sho
goes In filling up these bouffant puffs and
flounces Is her affair entirely.
For the last day or so It has been a
toss-up with tho fashion demonstrators
for prldo or comfort, and those who
' wisely choso the latter course, nnd am
comfortablo In their fur coats nnd winter
suits, arc hoping for warmer weather
the latter part of tho week to show their
Easter creations.
FASHION PAItADEJ TOMOimOW.
Tho regulation convention of gown
makers, which was scheduled to tako
place tho ontlro week preceding Easter,
nnd tho realization of which has been
alternately denied nnd nmrmed, hoa now
evolved Into a one-day fashion show, or
parade, ns It Is styled, which Is to tako
place tomorrow on tho Million Dollar Pier.
Scores of beautiful mannequins will por
tray tho latest thing In dress, and from
a glance ut n few of tho models to be
shown thero will bo a full Bupply of
thrills for tho observers. Business men
of Atlantic City have nursed for n long
tlmo planB for Just such an exhibition
for tho Easter crowd, and its Initiation
this season la regarded as a forerunner
y of Atlantic City's establishment of tho
"Longchamps" of America.
THE ESSENTIALS OF DRESS.
It docs not take long for tho casual
observer to become wise as to what 'nro tho
essentials in the world of fashion. It is
easy to sco that one can ignore almost
any artlclo of dress In preference to
Blioddlng for the feet. One can wear
last year's hat and a fur coat, but the
feet must be dressed up like a wedding
cake. A plain black pair of boots is
almost regarded with suspicion, and tho
spat tops and gaiters are now of every
avallablo color and texture. They are
fastened Inside or outside, any placo
but tho most convenient, their one aim
being to achieve somothlng odd and
original.
AND, OH, THE HATS!
As for tho hats, if one had not already
become accustomed to the wild flights of
fancy evolved In the milliner's brain, At
lantic City Is not tho place to bo visited
now. Bizarre notions in all their ex-
tremes revel on tho Boardwalk theso
Easter holidays until one fairly gasps
ut the Ingenuity displayed. Hero wo
encounter a pretty young girl, her
black oilcloth (I am quite sure thero
Is some mora auspicious namo for tho
fabric when used In this manner, but oil
cloth it resembles all tho same) hat Jaunt
ily pitched on ono Bide, whllo her high
standing collar and voluminous cape are
lined with the same. We nro apt next to
see a Bmart little hat. In size an Inverted
tea cup or a saucer, fashioned from palm
leaves highly varnished a desirable shade.
Again a group of blackbirds are about to
alight on a black straw plate semt-per-pendlcularly
placed, giving tho realistic
touch as If about to lift it from tho
lady's head. Again, a black straw derby
in shape has for sole trimming a tiny
conventional ornament that resembles
nothing so much as a little yellow paun
from the chess set. Oh, versatile milliner,
while struggling poets, besleso nature at
this season for their Inspiration, what
supernatural endowment has been
showered on thee!
A QAIjAXY OF FACES.
But aside from clothes and the fashions
of today, there aro many-Interesting per
sonalities encountered at every turn.
Local celebrities from Philadelphia's
social calender, stars from the footlights,
interesting visitors from far off, as well
s nearby cities, all wend their way to
Atlantia City these days. Many cottages
have, been opened by their owners and
me notei men appear pleased with their
proceeds.
Among the Interesting promenaders
noticed was Mrs. G. Jason Waters and
her two charming daughters. Miss Ruth
Waters and Mrs. Benjamin Qatins, who
come now as visitors to what for so
many years was their home. The
presence of Mrs. Waters and her daugh
ters recalled the days of the old Windsor
Hotel, now 'demolished, and the large
coterie of prominent Phlladelphlans who
annually spent their summer there, when
Mr. Waters was Its proprietor,
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel T. Huhn, of Over
brook, have opened their cottage for tho
season, and have their Interesting little
family down for the holidays. Mrs.
JIuhn's sister, Mrs. Ethel Huhn Walsh,
and her no longer little daughter, al
though still in the school set, Miss
Phyllis Walsh, are also among the Easter
Visitors.
Ex-Dlstrlct Attorney P. J. Rothermel
and Mrs, Itothermel are also among the
vliltors, as well as Mrs. George G.
Meade Large and her small son, who is
recovering from a serious Illness.
Mrs. Creston Clark, who Is profession
ally known as Miss Adelaide Prince, Is
spending the week as the guest of Mr,
and Mrs. William II, Knorr. at their cot
tage on Chelsea avenue, and Is dally seen
among the promenaders.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hess and their
daughters, who have been spending the
winter at Cobourg, Canada, have taken a
cottaga for the holidays. Mrs. Newbold
Etttng has also been among the visitors
as wen as many others prominent In the
oel&l llfo of Philadelphia.

"HOT CROSS BUNS "
Good Friday Revives Old English
Custom and Refrain.
Hot cross buns!
Hot cro'ii buns!
One a penny, two a penny.
Hot cross buns!
It you havo no daughters,
Buy 'em for your sons:
Ont a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns!
So runs the old English Good Friday
refrain. And oven In our modern, pro
gressive country the old custom still ob
tains to somo degree. Not a few of tho
restaurants and eating places announced
on bright new cards that the genuine bun
was on sale Inside.
Tho origin of tho hot cross bun is
traced back to the Egyptians. They of
fered llttlo cakes to their gods and
"buon," the Greek -word for cake, is sup
posed to be tho foundation of "bun."
Associated with the buns Is the plctur
esquo figure of the old, English bun-man,
with his pointed shoes and tawdy rai
ment, wnlllng in a plaintive voice the
Jingle above.
