EASTER SUNDAY FITTINGLY
OBSERVED AT ALL CHURCHES
Easter Sunday was very fittingly
and beautifully observed in practical-
ly all of the churches of Houston.
Sunrise services were held in many of
the churches, while the part that our
children play in the church history of
Easter Sunday is ever appropriate
and always possessed of a beautiful
dignity.
All indications point to the fact:
That Spring is here.
That Miss B. K. P. looks stunning
in new green Easter dresses.
That the present vogue for “fresh
air shoes” will bring about more foot
washing in Houston.
That Prof. C. surely enjoyes the
meals at Miss Peters’ cafe.
That Prof. B. is always happy in
the presence of tall things—be it la-
dies or ice cream cones.
That Dr. G. doesn’t mind adding to
his already magnanimous repertoire
of gay melodious tunes and that he is
generous enough not to deprive the
Milam Street on-lookers and hearers
and the pedestrians along the high-
ways of these tuneful melodies.
That the depression hasn’t been
able to put any kind of damper on Mr.
H. P. C.’s “As brilliant as the mid-
day sun" smile.
That Mr. A. M.’s new green suit is
the hottest thing in Houston. In
fact, it couldn’t be any hotter if it
were flaming red.
No, Dora, Miss E. H. is pariotic,
but she isn’t wearing a flag colored
outfit to make us know it. It just r’
happens that a red, white and blue
combination is the last word from Pa-
ris for the well dressed young lady.
Mrs. A. W. F.’s baby is a real
beauty. We know, because we saw
him, by “Special Permission of the
Copyright Owner."
It appears that Prof. M. is trying
to stage a comeback, but Miss B. isn t
acting like she doesn’t know it.
So! Prof. N. entering the field of
Social Service before graduatig from
the theatre. We sigh and pass on,
for such is life.
Oh, no, Mr. T. B. A., you can’t have
all the girls. You must leave one
for me, even if it can’t be the lady
with the red hair.
