MERRY WIDOW" HATS
CAN'T MIX WITH REliGloN-WO
MEN MUST CHECK HEADGEAR
ON ENTERING CHURCH.

Burlington, April 20.-Several local
churches have proposed a ban upon
Merry Widow" hats in the congre
cation during services. Pastors de-
clare that men are becoming fewer
at the services as the number OF big
hats increase and that the popular
style threatens to make many male
backsliders.
Ushers in some OF the more crowd
ed churches were at their wits end
to seat their Easter congregations
Pews which have comfortably accom-
modated six persons would hold no
more than four when the quartette
wore large hats.
In the prominent churches here, II
is proposed to request women who
wear their big hats to church TO
check them at the cloak room during
the services.

TRoBLEs THAT DO NOT COME.

Or the hard and weary loads
'Ncath which We bend and fall,
The troubles that DO not come
Are the heaviest ones Of all
For grief that cuts like a knife
There's Oh Of comfort and cure.
And the hand which binds the
weigh,
Brings strength and grace TO en-.
durc.
But TO phantoms Of pain and woe
The lips Of pity are dumb.
And there's never oil or wine
For troubles that do not come.
There's song to tighten the toll
And stan for climbing the height
But never an Alpine stock
For The hills tnat are out Of sight
There a4e b ter herbs enough
In 'he tin' ing sup OF today
Without the srrig OF rue
From tomorrow unknown way.
Then take the meal that is spread,
And go with a song on thy way,
And let not the morrow shade
The sunshine and JOY Of today
