young brides and matrons to-. furnish
them with a Sterling recipe for Easter
nats that l have great pleasure in
giving one today:
rake substantial wire frame and
garnlsh 1t with straw braid Let stand
IN shop window until the entire city
mas passed by and admired it. Add
half dozen peoples, gross of vio-
lets three whites of the chrysanthe-
mum and a dash of mignonette. Mix
thoroughly so as to lose all resem-
blance to anything that ever grew. A
sprlg OF orange coIored ribbon is quite
tasty but should never be used on
March IL. When the flowers have
we'll set season to taste with glass Or
naments and so to church.
Fruits are as popular as ever this
season. Bananas, if used as hat trim
mings, should always be ripe. There's
much danger Of collie from unripe ba-
nanas. Cherries and watermelons are
also quite desirable. A very desirable
Frenchy effect is secured by using
French fried potatoes
Last but not least in this 'sDecamer
on OF Easter is the contribution of the
man who handles the commercial In
terests, writes up new buildings and is
the architects friend Here it is:
Mesdames Blank & Blank has lust
completed plans for a new two-story
Easter hat for Miss De Smith. 1t is to
be built on the Gothic plan with re-
naissance trimmings. A mansard roof
is designed to- give bizarre effect to
the ensemble. Elegant landscape gar
dening surrounds the structure on all
sides. The first floor of the structure
is ornamented with Frenchy effects;
aigrettes arranged in colonades, with
buckles for the pillars. The second
story is tour de force. Strictly, almost
painfully, Gothic it raises Its Super
structure above the landscape garden
ing and rears it's architectural beauty
aloft. The structure is designed by it's
architects to be durable. 1t is strictly
modern in every respect"

EASTER HAT DECAMERON*: 5 STORY !, 1,. %.s

{. A story ,on the all important topic,
the Easter hat published by the Des
MONIES Register and Leader has
at last proved the Waterloo for the
exchange editor of the Ottumwa Cou-
rier. Now this same exchange editor
has a state reputation for stealing any
thing insight that is not nailed down.
The presence of a few we'll driven
nails does not seem to be much of a
hindrance when a good story is in
sight. This Easter hat story is a good
one, thesidea is well conceived and it
Isl we'll written. That is just the trou-
Bile, it is too well handled. 1t is not
an ordinary story. If it had been it
would have been stolen outright.
The exchange editor couldn't see his
way clear to steal it. Strange to say
his conscience smote him when he
stuck his scissors into it. The sensa-
ton was SO unusual that he dropped
the story as though it were red hot
coal. The city editor was called into
consultation. He has not any con-
science at all, never had any and has
no hopes of having one in the near flu
ture. He however, has learned that
1T is wise to dodge responsibility
wherever possible, and true to instinct
he passed it along.
Every man on the force SHE'D. The
cub reporter couldn't shy. He was the
last in line and had to take it. He pom
dered long and hard. determined to tell
the truth about the whole matter and
giveethe story to the readers of the
Courier with its proper credit.
Here's what the fuss was all about:
Through the kindness of the pro-
prietor of. one of the largest millinery
shops in Des Moines the writing force
of the Register and Leader was per-
mitted to see into that .''holiest of no.
lies" q trimming room and watch the
delicate operation Of Easter hat trim
ming and garnishing The entire force
was present, not member missing, as
it were. The purpose of the visit was

following characteristic bit of copy:
The editorial force of The Register
and Leader was complimented yester-
day afternoon by an informal reception
in the trimming room of Blank &

decorated in black and blue, the gener-
al effect being quite chic Madame
Blanque of Paris presided over the
head trimmer's chair, while Madamoi-
selle Blanc and Senorita Blanchhs

madame was dressed in a stunning

handsomely by ruching of cerisse.

down by Herbert Spencer. Grated
upon these frames are offshoots in
the shape of aigrettes, novelties,
buckles and velvet effects The ut
most harmony prevails however. If
there Is one thing noticeable in every
act and effect it is harmony. Never be-
fore has the Millinery party presented
an unbroken front"
The man who edits the Geographic
markets and supplies the local mar
kets is responsible for this copy:
The millinery market opened yes
terday, strong and steady Reports of
bright, sunshiny weather sent the Eas-
ter hat market soaring. A Liverpool
cable announcing that the Princess of
Wales had just entered a department
store had noticeable effect on the
algrette market. The receipts were
four dozen plumes, three dozen buck
les and four gross wire frames.
THE market took bullish turn and
experienced a sharp advance on the is.
suance of the weather forecast, but the
bears prevailed on later report that
rain was falling in the Fiji islands.
Local quotations were steady; the
market being reliable. Blank & Blank
report an extremely encouraging mar
ket, with Easter hats going rapidly
and prices advanced but steady. Trim.
med hats are at a great demand and
novelties are rushing.
"The market closed at TIC advance
over the opening, due to the display of
trimmed Easter hats yesterday after
noon"
The book reviewer was almost as
enthusiastic. Here is what he wrote:

But, when the assignment came to be
made up there was such a general de.

AS a grandstander it was lallapaloz-

would take the count without going to
the mat. Any man that wouldn't like
it would have bad eye and a glass
arm. Over in the center field of the
decorations there was a bunch of spin

"A reporter called at the trimming

idea is rampant. Rhode Island is said
to be in line with Montana and there

platform. On this the trimmers stand
firmly. Down with monopolists,' they

The Beast and the Hen.
If person could get birdseye
view of the shipping ports of this
country at any day in. the year he
would see droves Of cattle, horses and
mules go laundering up gangplanks,
and being hauled in sings up the sides
of ships. Steers and COWS by the
thousands stream into ships at the
Wharves in Boston. New York and Bal

procession, day after day, go into the
ships in all the ports, clean around the
coast from Portland. Me-, to Galveston
Texas. And still more herds go into
still more ships on the Pacific shores.
Criss-crossing each other, north east
west and south, all over the continent,
rush trains filled with them, not only
day after day, but unendingly through
the day and night. with never a Sun
day, never holiday to give the whir-

to the sea, and then turn to figures
gathered by the census and treasury
departments and find that in all that
jostling, never-ceasing stream of great
brutes from millions of acres of pas
ture, does not amount in value to one
quarter of the value of the eggs laid
by the little hen. And if you add the
value of the hen herself to the value
of the eggs that whole aggregation of
horns and hoofs, all those tons of
flesh, do not amount in value to one
eighth of what fowl and egg are
worth.
