Retailers in many cities are glum because spring business hasn't picked up ns expected. Some hope that a last-minute rush of filial love will remedy that. Mother's Day sales started mat Brndstreel reports today that retail sales in the nation generally are trailing last year by about four percent so far this week. But a Inst-minute vush, like the one that saved the day for Kaster trade, could do the trick. House dresses and aprons are going groat guns this year, some midtllcwest stores report.

One big New York department store says sales are running 10 percent ahead of last year, with "novelty house dresses the big lure." In the south, other stores report sales al least as good as last year. Far West merchants Mother's Day buying started slow'- ly, but they're counting on a final- week rush.
