WHAT A VOI \(i MAN SAW And What Ho Hid Noi S<v Ocaiise of the Women's liitis. i A young man. a good friend of utir>, j recently visited the picture show. bas ing paid lils good dime to see the pic tures. Hut In* i? * > 11 1 of pocket ti*n cents and, while an Interesting pieture was thrown upon the screen, our young friend failed to set' the picture. He tried honestly enough, but hl efl'orts were unavailing. "Blind?". you say. Not so. Nor Is j he dumb, nor is he deaf. He lias two I good eyes, two good eyes and a mind ; of more than ordinary Intelligence, hut J in spite of all hi- gifts and his honest j effort to see, he could not; and finally 'j left the place in disgust. What was the matter? Nothing more than frequently happens to one at any i private gathering- his view was nl> -I strut ted hy hig hats? hig ladles' hats, - that is the hats were large, not the la- I dies, for it frequently transpires that j the smaller the ladv the Nigger the hat ' I she dons. ! I It is .something amusing to see one I of these hig hats tin t in like a ship in i fnll sail, defiherately cast anchor just 1 in front of you and seem to say: "See' me! it's worth ten rents." The only j trouble about it Is that one may visit, a millinery store and s(?e a dozen with- ! out charge It is also possible for one to take his stand on the -tre t corner and view these ships a- they navigate our streets This is not so bad. especially when the commodious ships frequently carry a pretty face. lint who cares to bo confronted with a mountain of feath ers. felt, straw, ribbon and banners when beyond these creations of t he milliner Is the object one desire* to see ? lias paid good money to see? And the unconcern of the dear la dles! The utter indifference they man ffest in the matter! It Is something amazing, and so amazingly selllV We do not hope to bring about a re form in this matter, but merely regis ter the complaint. It is a dangerous thing to meddle with a woman's head gear. If she wishes to put a mighty ship on her head and come to anchor just in front of your range of vision. VOU inusf efnnfj If. Be a gentleman, and Jump to give up your seat to the ladles; accept the blocked range vision and keep your tongue turned to say pleasant things. Hut It Is a big job to do this, little as one may thing of It. We resj>ectfully suggest to our law makers the wisdom of passing a law limiting the diameter of ladles' hats to one yard. That would help a little. They might, while they are at It, limit the length and number of feathers, yards of lace and ribbon to some rea sonable number ? say one hundred fea thers ami a thousand yards of ribbon That might help some; hut we do not feel very confident of It. ?
