The weather kept many who had bought new Easter out fits from wearing them, but not so with your reporter. She donned her Easter bonnet and went to church, and didn’t feel so bad when she got there, for there were other spring outfits there too. Mrs. Ernest Brooks was dressed in a lovely dusty pink suit ... Carrie Lee McSwain were a darling pink hat and a corsage of red and white roses. The most noticed corsages of all were the ones worn by Miss FVances Dougherty and Eve lyn McCracldn. FVances wore garde nias, and Evelyn’s corsage was an orchid. There were many other lovely spring dresses and suits, and many beautiful corsages, but your reporter didn’t have her notebook and pencil, and when it comes to memory, she is very poor.
