HIT THE MARK, BISHOP.

Speaking of the style hats Bishop Moore presd-
ing at the Methodist Episcopal conference at Cincinnati
said:
For woman of moderate to pay $48 or $35
just $40 for the plain hat without trimmings is abso-
lutte wickedness Why, Easter hat could buy
tire clerical outfit
But they don't, bishop. You don't understand min-
cry respected sir and there's something of analogy
between these hats and cerics too
he plain hat without trimmings costs not $4S or 49,
but 81 or 81. It's the trimmings that Not one mod
crate woman in 10000 pays $4S $40 for just the plain
"shape'' .....
And it's with ministers, too You can get plain min
ister with trimmings for $50 to 500 per week. Those with
trimmings come as high $50 to $75 per week.
Ihepaln hat or plain minister without trimmings may
be just servceabe to keep off scorcng sun or scorc
ing sin but human vanity demands the trimmings.
Many of the wonderful hats you see bishop are simply
old shapes reshapen and covered with new trimmings
So with many of the ministers of our heightened
churches They are simply time plain men, with plain
ideas trimmed up with eloquence culture and social dis
tinction.
1t is important, bishop that you fully understand this
matter Don't denounce the plain hat or the plain minis
ter without trimmings The calamity lies in those very trim
mings as well as the cost price You get nice plain
servceable hat, minister at very reasonable figure
But if you want all the trimmings you've got to paw for
them. ~ ~
