The sun shown out i to 1m autiful and bright all day and weather my was just warm enough to make light clothing pleasant, the early morning was lay just the least bit cool and the lioys were loo dubious about {donning their straw hat, ne> fearing they might lie chided for "rush, * iiwr tliA ftii'iQiMi ^ an/1 ultlmimK n? ? ? "UK" new spring suits were in evidence, the ? straw hats weie left at home in the morning, and tlietwo or three that were in*> s?en looked quite lonesome. lJut after ?r? dinner quite a number of them camp lt" out. .Not so with the fair sex, there *m was no evidence of timidity of the part ce, 0f the ladies, and Kaster dresses and ab- Easter hats were very much in <vidence at the morning services of the different t a churches, it was Easter, and that meant er\ that it was the time for them to don ec. their new hats and new dresses, and it ier was done without a thought of the "rush" business. Tfie ladies are accredited with ' . beiug the timid creatures, but when ii comes t? the matter of a man changing his winter hat for a summer straw, the ac^ ladies are not in it in the timid business. ?' It is astonisliing how timidly they venach ture out and how eagerly they watch to gee how many more have braved the ngs litnber-tongued critic, and what a ire. sigh of relict esca|>es them as they notice " a dozen other "straws" in sight, and 4 , mentally congratulate themselves that they are strictly up-to-date, and among >n 8 the lirst, but not ahead of Unie ; and it is amusing to notice the kindly sympathetic ?re look they cast upon the ' stiffs" which ?d- are in sight, which look says as plain as the horse head scare lines: "Iteally, old In- fellow, I sympathize with you, it is right cy- bad to be behind the times, one likes to >xes keep up with the procession ; sorry yon >red did not manage to "make the ritll i" to n In you a new hat?of course you haven't rere one or >'ou would have put it on?a rest b??iitiful day like this.
