Several of the stores in Wichita have fixed up displays for Easter, Prominent among them is the St. Louis Progressive Fancy Grocery company. 1 North Market street, who have their window handsomely dressed. In tne center is a pyramid or mound containing fruits, flowers and grain, some of which are just beginning to sprout. Hanked up against the mound are wreaths of flowers and a eross.

Scattered through the window on each side of lie mound are nests of eggs of va- rlous kinds nnd colors. In the back- ground is a high pyramid of canned fruits while apple blossoms, are tastefully arranged. It seems the Easter hens have tried in many cases to hide their eggs as peeping out from behind stacks of brooms are several nests tilled with eggs, while here and there is seen a rabbit pcvplng around the corner.

The array of local talent was no less frnrprisin? than the fact that the best sininj: of the oeeasion was by the purest African types. Mr. Jennie Stanton's roice is one of delicious melody and met with, slad approval. The poet, following a hearty in-) troductory address by Mrs. Naomi Anderson, spoke poetically and logically upon ''The Kace 'Problem," disclosing a rare knowledge of its real nature and only true solution, Mr.

Whitman, unique as a poet, rejoices in the fact ofbe- lng the Patriarch of A t'rico-American poetry. His first work was uraised by Brvant and other distinguished men of letters. Among other noticeable features, here all was good, was Mrs. Alexander's original poem, Mrs. Whit- man's rendition of his Stonewall Jackson, Miss M.

Perry's song and the "Whitman Graces" who won all hearts by their sw eet appearance and infantile grace. Sir. Whitman is now en-: gaged upou a revision and dramatization of his work "Not a Man and Yet a Man" kindred in its scope to I'ncle Tom's Cabin. It told in po-, etic imagery, and in the bands of Wichita amateurs, ill be a winning card. With a becoming modesty Mr.

For Instance, in tho olden times I am sure tight lacing was more universally practiced than It is now, and It is with a feeling of thankfulness I notice the sensible footwear now so fashionable. No doubt It is because flat, low heels and braod soles are the fashion that they are worn, hut it is a sensible fashion and ane that outiht to be encouraged. Everyone knows how impossible it is to walk in tight boots. Aside from this they do not make tho foot look pretty as it was at one time imagined they did.

If one has a large foot it is not worth while to be ashamed of It, and alter all there Is much more beauty in Die shape, than ugliness in the size, of a foot. Then there are tight gloves. What Is more unlovely than a glove that makes the hand a still' automaton, or forces the llesh out Into prominence where it lias no right to be? Here again our grandmothers were at fault. One hardly every sees this sort of tiling now-a-days. Women value more and more the beauty of symetry and the i grace of pliancy, and they realize, miu'h more than they did a few years ago, the necessity of freedom of muscles and members for the accomplishment of this result.
