By the Associated Press |Easter Eggs Gain Adults’ Favor as Well as Children's: {Candy Creations Differ | Widely From Simple Novelties of Past. CHICAGO, March 17—There are suspicions in Chicago sweet shops these days that the Easter rabbit “industry” is being supported more than ever this year by grown-ups for their own con- sumption and amusement Not that the youngsters are going back on Peter Rabbit. Far from it. but the candy stores report that they see an increated demand for the type | of Easter sweets and novelties that ap- peal primarily to the adult Time was when the serious-minded Easter rabbit wore a conservative of brown. But that era is pa though there are still a few to The most up-to-date variety of Easter lepus cuniculus in the Chicago shops is anything but brown this year. They have gone giddy in the matfer of color —purps rabbits to yellow rabbits with red ears. Formerly an Easter egg was simply vork for a hen plus a dip in a dye vat. Now in its simplest form it is a candy concoction, skillfully deco- rated, whose creation would give a hen a nervous breakdown even to contem- plate. One new variety consists of real egg shells filled with chocolate and deco- rated with portraits in colors—and fancy a dignified Plymouth Rock laying eggs monogramed to order.
