Although it is said of women that
they are much better judges of chickens
prepared for cooking or served on steam
ing platters, they also seem to take an
interest in "chantecler'' beautiful or
odd. The remarks of the women Nttend-
ing the show we're not such as might
be termed complimentary by breeders Of
their favorite specimens. On passing
before one of the pens occupied by
rose combed Wyandottes one prominent
society queen was heard to remark: 1T
would be awfully cute If 1t didn't have
such a funny looking head"
In spite of remarks OF this kind the
ladies present were given free rein and
allowed to offer any suggestions or say
anything they seemed inclined to utter
by the men in charge of the exhibition.

turned out to similar exhibition In this
