The women of the Christian church of this city made an Easter Sunday record that is likely to stand for some time as unique when they attended Easter services without hats. The plan to attend | minus millinery decorations de veloped when the men of the church, in response to an urgent appeal to be present on Easter Sunday, made facetious remarks to the effect that there would be a crowded house because all the women would be there for the usual purpose. Then and there the men were challenged to an attend ance contest, the women agreeing to wear no hats and none wero worn yesterday except by visit ing women who had not been in formed of what was on, or off. The few attracted considerable at tention. The attendance was large, some probably being present out of curiosity to see whether the women had the nerve to go through with their advertised stunt.
