Spring fashions passed before the spectators* eyes—the models pivoting before a flower-decked bower to the accom paniment of “Easter Parade” music played by the Labadie Boys orchestra under the direction of Aarne Olkkonen. Miss Neva, buyer for all Federal stores, vas fashion commentator. Fash ions displayed were not only smart but definitely wearable.

Mannekining wom en's ensembles were Mrs. Robert Rooker, Mrs. Robert Purdy and Mrs. James Birdsall. As is often the case, the young sters’ naive manner “stole the show.” Each of the “small fry” models managed to insert his own personality into the performance. To the audience's delight, little David Fedor, not only proud of his trig blue suit but also of his ath letic ability, proceeded to do the “splits "—and slips didn’t count. Young Miss Thea Fae Helbig, see ing the photographer, deliberately stopped and gave a million-dollar smile until snapped. The Purdy twins performed in true Cover Girl style until Barbara, in a stage whisper, gave Beverly the cue to move on. Bobby Rooker discovered an acquaintance down front and gave a oig wink and smile. Mathew and Karen Beckett were unaffect edly appealing. Climax of the evening was the wedding party of bride, matron-of honor, bridesmaids, ring bearer and 1 lower girl. Each member, of the bridal party carried an original floral creation made by Mrs. Ruth Earnsdale of § the Flower Pot. Refreshments were served follow ing the show.
