J! omen Attend Church
on Easter Minus
Their Hats
Ninety-Foot Boom Can Pick Up Wyoming Sheriff Crawls From Mat
to Save Himself From the
10 Tons as Though It
Were Nothing.
Deadly Toe Hold.
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.
