Crowd closer together, all you who oc-
cupy positions on the platform of Fame,
and make room for a man who has
proved he is superior to his sex; who is
so great in his achievements he is almost
a woman! Make way there for Frederick
Elliston Brandt OF st. Paul, Minnesota!
There was held in st. Paul recently a
state fair, to which farmers brought hogs
so fat they had lost all facial expression,
prize calves. big pumpkins, horses with
slender ankles and heavy tails and corn
that grew high. The women were there
with insane quilts, jelly of three colors
in one 8 ~ss. cakes Of so many layers
they looheu like a band stand. ounce
preserves, doilies on which were en-
broideTed marvellous strawberries and
pansies. green grape pickles, hair wreaths
under glass frames and squash pies.
But move closer together, you who
occupy position on the platform Of Fame,
for here comes Frederick Ellison Brandt,
a man who invaded woman's domain and
did her work better than she had ever
done IL. Hiding among the acres OF en-
broidered roses and tulips, drawn work,
hemstitched and Irish crochet, there was
found a Hardanger embroidered lunch
cloth five feet square, the work Of
man. and TO It the committee pinned the
blue ribbon
And the women embroiderers Of st.
Paul, who had sat back so chesty and
eomplscent. threw one big fit that made
the walls Of the bazaar look like a
demonstration Of tooth soap.
Frederick Elnston Brandt aid II ali
himself and he used ninety-three skeins
OF embroidery floss, and It didn't take
him long; 1t was pickup work, you
know, and he worked at II in odd mo-
ments; and, yes, IL was the first work he
had ever done, and, no. he is not mar
ted and has no wife 10 come forward
with her photograph taken in a low
necked dress and the claim that by her
kindly encouragement she made him

his embroidery needle. No woman's hand
