MORNING APPEAL
FRIDAY. FEBRUARY
naGa HATS.

The Examiner has the following:
Our correspondent at Carson
tslexraphs that the only important
action of the Nevada Legislature
Yesterday was the introduction OF
bill making it a inisdemeaDor for
anv lady to wear q hat at any
theatre in the State of greater hi:nt
han three inches. The penalty
provided is a fne of not less than
$40. The bill was promptly engross
ed and will at once pass to a third
reading.
Such a measure as this may
create q smile among the lntaink-
ing, but It's really most important
piece of legislation. Other Lsisia-
lures than that of Nevada might
we'll take the matter in hand. The
onlv fear we have is that II their
zeal to correct q EonstroHs evil
the Nevada Assembly has become
a little too radical. Three inches
is really a very shallow head cover
ing for Nevadan or any other ladies'
Of taste and skill in the art Of max
inc themselves beautiful. Where
are the three inches to begin
from the crown of the head or the
peak of the cell on top Of the head,
or the line Of the Psyche knot ?
And are flowers, sprIgs OF green,
AMI lrills OF lace, to be included in
the three inches?
1t is to be hoped that before
passing an Act Of so much moment
all loop holes Of escape from the
penalues attached to It's violation
will be carefully guarded. Ladies
are adroit and cunning in such
matters, and the Legislature OF
Nevada cannot be too careful. 1t
would be q pity, indeed, II after
enacting SO long-needed = law, the
law makers should awake to IND
that the milliners and the Supreme
Court had found q means to nuliify
its wise and beneGcient purposes.
While the Nevada Legislature is
on the subject OF hats, it should
pass a Law protecting the wearers
of "plugs" on the public streets.
Not long ago in Reno, q stranger
who ventured to crown hinself
with tile, was sK,tten with a SIX
shooter welded by q prominent
citizen, and felled TO the ground
where he lay weltering in his blood,
an object OF the populace's unsym-
pathetic curiosity. At present it Is
as much as any mans life is worth
to wear a silk hat in Nevada.
Only ladies on horseback are
permitted TO enjoy the privilege.
Let Us have equality between the
goT

There is q bill to prohibit the
employment Of female attaches in
the Legislature. The constitution
already provides that all offices o.
trust in the State shall be filled by
"qualilied electors" only.

The APPEAL thinks that the
ladies will comply with the three
inch limit on hats, but just think
OF the big bunch of feathers they
will pile on top.
