G. come The Springfield (Mo) Leader- Democrat devotes over a column to an episode at the Opera House in that city during the performance | given by a comic opera company. The elite of that city bad turned out, and the house was crowded by the fashionable people of that town. Big hate and big plumes were con spicuous on the heads of ladies occu pying the best seats, so that a view | of the stage was greatly obstructed to those occupying the rear seats. Just as the curtain began to roll up on the first act, a very prominent lady—a leader among the socisty people—quickly removed her hat, which was followed by two or three hundred ladies of the best families in Springfield. It is really eurprising how much good one sensible lady can accomplish in a community when she is inclined that way.— Henry County Democrat. This has been a custom among the Butler ladies for some time and while no general newspaper comment has heretofore been made, the ladies can rest assured that their conduct in this matter is not only highly gratifying to the gentlemen, but isa mark of their wisdom and fore- thought.
