ito prohibit any woman from pur.
chasing more than two hats during
any calendar year, to regulate the
price to be paid for such hats and to
prevent the wearing of any plumage
thereon, unless the bird Is killed for
food ."-Man-like of course they think
of their dear stomachs and for the
poor woman to reach his heart OF un.
lock the purse, she must wear plum
age from a bird she can kill and
cook In obedience to the old adagc.
The way to a mans heart is through
his stomach"
The first provision of the bill reads
as follows:
Hereafter It shall be unlawful for
any woman, either married or ingle
to purchase for herself or to receive
OF in any way procure for her use and
benefit more than two hats, each to
cost not more than s1.9s, oftener than
