CORNSTALK COSTUMES WORT
The second annual carnival was held
the decorations were simply marvellous.
And now at the third carnival, re-
Gently held, the artistic creations
wrought out in corn, corn husks and
corn stalks have attracted almost ma
tional attention. The people who came
to see the show numbered something
like 10000. Three train loads, 80
coaches, came from what is called the
short grass country" or western Kan
sas.
And all Atchison was literally crowd
ed with corn decorations. The bust
ness buildings We're nearly hidden in
designs of corn stalks, and the work
was artistic TO an astonishing degree.
Curtains of strung corn and popcorn
served instead of doors, the different
colors of corn being tremendously.
blended. Thousands of yards of corn
and popcorn for decorative purposes
were strung and sold by the different
church societies.
A scene in one merchants display
window presented the starry heavens,
with a yellow sun, made of hundreds
OF grains of corn, just sinking below
the horizon, throwing its rays upon
floating corn husk angels, one of which
reclined upon crescent moon made Of
white corn. Under the electric lights

the effect was wonderful; and there
were dozens of others just as clever.
One Atchison artist constructed scene
of grains of corn representing 'The An
gelus," FASTING the corn upon card
board. The result was astonishing. A
peculiar thing about corn is that, when
grouped in design and rubbed with
nm oily cloth, it resembles ivory.
Among the mechanical designs We're
corn chairs, corn desks, corn covered
buggies, corn jewelry, corn shoes, min
iature corn harness, and a thousand
other fantastic notions.
Many of the corn hats worn during
the carnival could scarcely be distin-
guished from the best work of the pro-
fcssional milliner. Indeed, lady of
Atchison' who has gone into this corn
millinery business has more orders
than she can fill. She has had re-
quest from Mrs. William Mckinley for
a specimen of her handiworl, and will
send her bonnet made from corn, in
the most fashionable style of the sea-
son. She also made a corn hat for Mrs.
William Jennings Bryan. Mrs. D. N.
Morrill,, wife of the ex-governor of
Kansas, recently wore one of these corn
hats for several days, and orders for
them have been received from Chicago,
San Francisco, Omaha and many other
places.
The dresses made of corn huslls were
in many cases very attractive. Men
also wore corn costumes, hats of corn,
and even corn husk necllties.
A reasonable estimate of the number
OF costumes of corn on Corn Carnival
day placed them at over 1000. Such
costumes, though striking in their eff
feet, are easy to make unless very elab-
crate results are attempted.
The originator of the Corn carnival
is e. w. Howe, editor of an Atchison
newspaper, and widely known as au-
thor of 1.-THE Story of Country Town.
and other novels. Three years ago Mr..
Howe wrote three line item suggest
