MILLIONS FOR EASTER nONNETs.

Some Estimates of the Cost Of the
Parade In New York City.
A New York correspondent says the Easter
parade was the most eXtravagant display Of
bonnets the metropolis has ever seen. The
writer gives these figures of the cost Of
the parade In the country at large:
There are 30, 900, 900 women in the United
States old enough to wear Easter hats.
These 30, 0 900 women spent 500. 900, 900
upon Easter hats. This places each hat at
an average of $3.33.
Many wore Easter hats that cost less.
Miss Poverty Row bought only a bunch of
violets, which she pinned on last years
frame-total cost, Is cents. Miss Upper
Flat purchased a hat upon the bargain
counter and got a cheap wreath plume to
dress 1t out with-cost, $3.50. And some
bought no hat at all-cost. absolutely moth
ing. But Mrs. Very Rich, ON the next street,
whose back windows looked into the rear
ones OF Miss Poverty Row, purchased an
Easter hat that cost $40, and that is where
the matter eyened itself up.
Mary Ellen Lease would say: "If one
woman went without an Easter hat II was
because some other woman had a hat that
cost twice twice as much as II ought o."
But that Is another story, and does not
affect the enormous figures that must be
thought out, when the Easter parade OF
last Sunday is figured.
or the 500, 900 900 spent on hats:
Twenty-Five million went for ostrich
plumes.
Five millions went on bird of paradise
feathers.
Twenty millions were spent for ribbons.
Flowers cost SIS. 900, 900.
The straw hats themselves footed up to
$40, 900, 00C.
The labor upon the hats Is ESTIMATED at
$40, 000, 900 more.

Birds, wings and other feathers cost

Incidentals, Innings, trimmings, etc., came

The ostrich plumes cost one-quarter Of the

which they can be held year after year

expensive. The land Is held high In Cali

rough, abrupt, overbearlng ways. There Is
too much truth in 1t. | think there is
naturally, a little spice of tyranny in every
mans composition, and perhaps from the
days OF Queen Bess up to the present time
we might find enough OF the same quality IN
our W sex to establish our claims to sister
hood.
But, admitting that there are purely mas.
ouline elements, do we not know how ia
conquer or soften these uncomfortable and
undesirable characteristics
By gentleness and love woman may, II she
will, assert her power and find men most
willing subjects. But arrogance and inn
patience will find rough and stubborn OPP
ponents. Man is nowhere found so true to
his natural impulses as in the sacred pre-
cincts OF home. If one would be sure OF his
true character. go to the domestic circle UNI
expectedly.
1t is not when away from home or in the
pursuits of business or pleasure that one
sees him in natural condition. In the bosom
Of his family he will be found exercising his
true spirit.
There you will learn the strength OF con-
jugal ties, and there his true character will
stand before you, glowing in excellence or
shrinking into insignifcance.

Expert Cook.
In tho May Ladies' Home Journal Mrs. S.
T. Rorer shows that a family of two with one
| servant can live well OH an expenditure of
So a week for food in Philadelphia and the
east, Sc in the south and $40 in New Eng
land. These figures, she says, cover milk,
flour, meat and marketing, as well as gro
ceries, and are based upon the presump-
ton that the woman of the family is a prac-
tical housekeeper. Last summer" Mrs.
Rorer writes, II was experimenting very
closely and carefully my own household,
which numbered at the time eight persons,
and without the slightest difficulty l ar
| ranged an exceedingly attractive table with
an expenditure of only $40 per week. and this
covered everything used on the table, three
meals a day. To do this purchased beef
by the loin, taking out the fllet, using It as
a roast one day for dinner; made stock from
the bones and rough pieces, quite enough
to last for half the week. The back was
taken off and cut into steaks, and the tough,
lean end divided, one portion being used for
Hamburger steaks and the other for a brown
stew with vegetables. From this one lOln,
which cost Sits, | had sufficient stock for
three days and meat for four dinners, freshly
cooked for each meal, making an average
cost Of "A cents a meal"
Mrs. Rorer also states that a family OF six.
with two servants, can live quite well with
an expenditure for the table of $14 a week.
Where people have sufficient means to live
as the world calls well, but which, from a
hyglenic standpoint, is really bad, $500 a
year is a very liberal allowance. On this, in
winter, you may have al occasional dish Of
~terrapin, providing you use the fresh water
poultry at least twice a week, an entl ee now
and then, oysters and the more dainty varie-
ties of fish. The dinner may be served in
three or four courses. Breakfast may consist
OF a fruit, a cereal, eggs or chop, mullins
and coffee; luncheon, a little entree, some
well-cooked vegetables, and, perhaps, a water
muffin toasted, or a little fruit with a light
cake; the dinner, a soup, a meat with two
vegetables, a salad with waters and cheese,
a light dessert and coffee. Now and then you
may put In a little entree following the
soup
