charging other children two pins to see

7 TOW to make 1913 Easter bonnet:
Take some straw and a ribbon
and one feather. Mix the straw
and ribbon about as usual. Then take
the feather and place it at the most I'M
expected and unusual angle on the said
mixture of straw and ribbon; sew firm
ly. Result: One perfectly novel bon
net. Serve, Easter morning, garnished
with new clothes and conscious smile.
The accompanying pictures show the
new designs in straw and ribbon. Gen.
orally the concoction is rather small,
fitting well over the head. greatly to the
hairdresser's chagrin, for of course,
your own hair will do--no bought hair
is necessary.
But the feather-there must be a
feather-must. be very long, of the pine
tree" variety, or uncurled ostrich that
looks like an escaped piece of feather
buster, only more so, and is very ex-
pensive. This must be put on in such a
way as to make it an original creation
and a very dashing proposition. The
Easter bonnet starts out demurely and
ends in a skyrocket effect
The shapes vary. You can have a
"tricorne," piratical looking hat, like the
one of Milan straw, in dark blue, with
vivid Balkan green velvet trimmings
and feather ofsthe same shade.
A quiet looking shape of black straw
turns up suddenly in the back to show
a shower effect of white paradise POM
pom.
Some of the newest colors are "tete
de negre," or tan colored, orange and
various shades of yellow. Mandarin
colored crepe is used largely for trim
mings and crowns. Vivid embroidery
is used to brighten up dark straws and
velvet or silk landings are much in
evidence, also in the Balkan shades
That means deep greens, reds, yellows
and vivid blues.

NEELEY ON THE JOB.
Is Scrapper For The Things He
Believes to be For Right.

Press dispatches indicate that Geo.
A. Neeley, the representative in con-
gress from this district, is making
a determined fight to have incorpo-
rated in the Glass-0wen currency bill
certain features which he believes are
necessary in order to give to. the
country the kind Of currency system
that conditions demand. Neeley was
member of the committee which
made an exhaustive investigation Of
the money trust during the last con-
gress. He went into the subject and
posted himself thoroughly as to the
weaknesses of the present currency
system. From the facts frought to
light by the investigation, he formed
some well defined ideas as to the
character of legislation needed to Civ
the country the right kind of a cur
rency system. He fought stubborn
ly for his ideas when the Glass bill
was under consideration by the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency and
when the bill was before the COM
mittee for final action, he refused
to vote for a favorable report on the
measure because, in his judgment, it
did not fully meet the situation. Two
of his Democratic colleagues on the
committee voted with him and an
other, while voting for a favorable
report, stated his determination to
Join with Medley in a fight before
the democratic caucus for the amend
ments for which Neeley is contend
ing.
The chief things for which Neeley
is contending are an amendment pro
hibiting interlocking directories and
an amendmen authorizing federal re-
serve districts to discount paper Sc
cured by corn, wheat and cotton in
sured and in bonded warehouses for
short time loans. In rejecting the
former amendment, Neeley claims the
committee acted contrary to the last
Democratic national platform and in
turning down the latter amendment,
he declares that the committee fail
ed to give proper recognition to the
producers of the thirteen billion dol
lars Of agricultural products raised
last year in the United States. Neel-
ey is demonstrating that he has the
courage Of his convictions and is de-
termined that the currency bill shall
not lack any of the features which he
and many Of his colleagues believe
to be vital.
