"In order to avoid shooting scrapes
or fistic encounters over ownership,
the law required every one who had
a particular mark to have it regis
tered with the township clerk. The
clerk had to be an artist as well as
penman. A picture of the animal
marked had to be entered upon the
books, showing the distinguishing
marks.
Some of those pictures were sights

creations of flowers, chiffon and rib
bons, which were good on Easter and
no other time, lay upon the counters
uncalled for.
Other classes of spring goods were
slow sale. Even the light spring jack
cts seemed hardly the thing for the
frigd weather that prevailed up until
Saturday.
Meantime, the clerks had to be paid
for doing next to nothing, and it is
| little wonder that there were some
gloomy looks on the faces of the pro-
prietors.
After the excitement of Easter antici-
patton, as a rule most persons are sat
isfied with hats and bonnets a little
less gay, and as result milliners have
been modifying some Of the extreme
styles and less gorgeous hats and more
moderate prices are on deck.
The only person who can afford to
smile is the father Of half dozen fash
ionable daughters who were deferred
from buying everything in sight the
day before Easter.
