Easter came around last Sunday Just aa It has been in the habit of doing about this tlnre of the year and New York erupted itself upon the streets with the. ac companimnt of ' flowers, choir prac tise, stiffly starched little girls, long tailed black coats, silk hats and new spring bonnets as usual. " - v ; ,It was horrid . weather for those with' new spring apparel to display. It drizzled In a most sickening .fash ion up till about church time when with the Innate perversity and general cussed nees - of weather, It suddenly ceased raining and the sun emerged from behind the clouds with a pal pable grin at his own joke. And then about 4 o'clock In tha'afternoa ft be gan raining again. In addition, thene was a cutting chill In the air that went . .right- through thin spring clothes. So on the whole the weath er behaved . In a most exasperating fashion, acting as if, it didn't care whether the annual Easter parade came off or not- . - - -' :." -f.... -Bift"ItdIdcomaorL,orou don't suppose we are going to be prodding tailors and dressmakers and milliners to be sure to have our clothes ready by Easter and then be cheated out of our chance to show them on the day appointed, do you? . . . -s ,. . . .. .-, Indeed not.- ' That's the way they say in New Tork. ; Where down South the folks say ,"No Indeed" and draw out the "deed" a little, up'here the thin to aay is "Indeed not!" and kind of snap It off shore ' ," Sure we had a parade. All of -ua got out on .Broadway and Fifth ave nue, no matter how far from the heart f The -'- Bronxr Washington Heights. Washington fiquare or Eighth, avenue we had come, ' and paraded up and down, looking each other over insolently and Inspecting each other's Clothes with keen Interest The man who knows' his New Tork will tell you with a superior air that you don't see the "real thing" parad ing Fifth avenue or ny other street on Easter (BundayV .By. the "real thing" 'he means Those 'mysterious beings, only : Four Hundred in num ber, whose names are always appear ing .In the newspapers in stories -be ginning "Suit for absolute divorce was begun yesterday by,", etc., and who exhibit themselves in opera boxes with persons thickly, encrusted - with Jewels. He will tell you that these beings 'consider it bad form to stay in town over Easter and consequent ly betake themselves to their country homes and their own private colonies on Good Friday. This Is disappoint ing, but still there was much to' foe seen after all . . Fifth avenue from Central Park down to. Twenty-third street was black or . rather vari-colored ... with people and the roadway was crowded with a confused mass -of carriages, automo biles, cabs and ' taxicabs. You see a pretty falr-eHted town and -.though the departure of four hundred peo ples leaves a gap of, certain dimen sions stin those that' do remain In town by moving about a food 'deal can manage td make the gap scarce ly noticeable.. It was that. .ay,. Sun day. Unless you had been told be forehand that four hundred of- the city's population were absenC'.you would hardly have noticed that there were not as many people as usual. ;' And now a word about spring fash ions as exhibited by the merry bou- levardlers . and dieresses. - Brown- Is evidently, going to be worn a . good deal this spring. ' one wouia ttunk that the passion for brown had spent Itself . a few years ago. but.it seems not. Brown is certainly going to be with us again. All shades of Jt were to be noticed Sunday from a light molasses shade to the very dark tinge usually ' associated with a certain taste In the mouth. And then blue was very popular. - There was also considerable -pink. And French gray. And Irish green This brings us to hats. . Excuse us a . moment . while we pause to take a drink of water. -' - Now as to the pew shapes in nats as Drought forth on Easter well, it is a case somewhat like mat 01 trie farmer who stared for a- full , five minutes at the circus giraffe., and fin ally turned away -disgustedly with the remark: "H I, there ain't no sicn animal!" , - .': So it Is when you meet one of the new-spring- shapes in hats coming sailing down the street. Ton stare at It and then you are tempted to say: "Why. It can't be. - No human being would -wear such a, thing as that" -. But they- do.- First-there- Is the Merry Widow Sailor.- It 1s flaW 'low -J crowned and anywhere from three (3) to seven (7) feet in diameter. The lowness of the crown is made up for by a eouple of wings that flare out from either side and shoot slant ingly up into the air to any desir ed height that will, admit of safety. It Is said that the city is facts to face with- the serious problem of having to widen every prominent street in town as two New Tork ladles "both of .whom happen to ba supporting- Merry Widow hats simply cannot pass each other on the street. However, conservative-en gtaeers -do not believe that sucn- action-will, ba necessary. It Is thought that If arr ordinance can be easeed requiring haberdashers to take their glass cases, fruit dealers their stands and cigar store proprie tors their wooden Indians off the sidewalks that two Merry widow lists can pass each other on the same street, provided the ladies who. steer them are competent cnauneura , . ; (And now for a short description of the second popular style. . Not long ago the reigning hat was an affair shaped like an inverted .. wash bowl. This has now been turned wrong aide outwards and fitted with a tow ering orown which- reminds one ' of a coffee-pot turned upside down-' ; . It Is said that something will have to be done. One New York paper appeared last Monday morning with telegraphic accounts of eight different huge spring hats, and Sunday morn ing a New jersey preacher looked out over the vast-expanse of Merry Wid ow hats before him with a. grieved expression and solemnly remarked that such atrocities were calculated to start men oa the Downward Path. It was a North Carolinian who had recently taken, unto himself. a,wif and who had gotten tired of board ing house life that was doing the talking- . ' . "I never realised before how much greater powers of endurance a woman has than a man," he said wearily. "We've Just been out flat-hunting and I'm all irnvwhlle Grace ny .wife- went bouncing np the stairs when we finally got in as if she had only taken a walk around the block, tie J . T. .! i .

' I pointed out Xo : her- that real' marrtod people walked about four- feet apart and never paid any attention to each oth er under any circumstances, and that If we didn't want to be annoyed we must quit .looking at and talking- to each other. Oraoe agreed to, this, but it didn't seem to work some .ow.1 We were walking along In nrvnar Harlem wnen we were sudden ly surrounded by a whole drove, of children, who aancea arouna ua uu sang some sort of fool song ahout 'bow delightful ' to be-married' or something of1 that sort, and people cam to ths windows 'oft ooth sides of the street' and laughed" lit to kill themselves.

Just finished a three V month's 'engagement In the ftuge bulidlnsr in which werything big takes place -In New York. It Is the same old - Barnum and. Bailey's, of course, but It Is mono gorgeously mounted than ever and is worth going many a mile to aee, - - There or many persons who have seen the circus who consider "Wotan the Balloon Horse," the most won derful act In tha whole, show. In this. act Wotan, the horse, stands up on a narrow platform with his mis tress upon'; his baek and ascends to the celling of the Garden, Where horse and Tldeir are suddenly enveloped in a burst of fireworks, flam and smoke dating out from all sides of the plat form. Then the descent to term firm a Is made to the accompaniment of the' audien oes "-enthusiastic- - ap pjause. When the fact Is taken into consideration that horse and rider must maintain an exact balance on the little platform beneath the balloon shifting -of ,balanc would tilt the platform and send horse and rider. 100 feet to the ground below, the feat . takes on tha air of. the mar- veloua v At ' every performance there is a llviely debate among the spectators as to whether the horse Is really stand ing quite J loose ' upon tha platform. Some contend that the horse's feet are fastened to the platform by cun ningly arranged clamps or that he is bound y Invisible wires. ,r On tha contrary." Wotan is T ridden upon a platform outte hare . of any contrlv anoes, be takes his stand quite unhindered,- and h rides to be roof free to Jump off ; into f-epaeeHf-- he-takes such a notion Into ft la head. He has tha pretty little Russian wvmn win sits on his back' -quite. at his mercy If he is disposed to play any pranas, but thus far Wotan has shown himself faithful to his trust:',. Once ba squares himself for- the' ascent ' ha keeps his - feet and- legs absolutely motionless and only his nervous ears reweej that he is not a statue of mar ble.,' - - -y .--T'-r- - y- This command ' ef Wotan 's over himself Is all tha more remarkable when it is remembered that it if the natural tendency, of a horse when standing for any length of time to sustain his weight on tnree sega, drawing -up 'one fitnd foot at rest , Such a poslton on Wotan's part would be . fatal. - Whatever happens, ba mtkrt keen the welsh of himself and! his burden evenly distributed on all four feet, each foot beta? at tha cor ner of an Imaginary rectangle. He must not move hie head either, wheth- ed to ' look v around at the curious sight of mob of people staring at j him or to brush away an' imaginary fly. .

'--- Both are natlw born RussLans,' and ' formerly were connected with the Circus Clm- selli at-t Petersburg. Wotan made his initial appearaacie as a -performing horse -several years ago, when he did a dancing act. . . . v 14 , Wotan Is of distinguished ancestry. beiag-a full-btooded Arabian of pedi greed atock. , . He was-sent as a colt of about two and a half years to the Csar from DAmascus. . Ha proved to be so vicious and unmanagable that the-Czar's atablea offered - Wm for sale. - -: To sea the trained and docile Wotan to-day. It would be hard to believe that he was ever bad-tempered,; but' Mr. Salamowsky says he had a reputation for vicious biting and rearing when he obtained him. which he -waa able to do at a very low fig ure. . ; ' Mr. 6alamow8ky In talking with The Observer's correspondent about his . horse said that he found that Wotan was not naturally bad. but simply had hot received proper treat ment. He went to work to srala tha aA horse's -confidence.---- He-taught "htm S I lMnl. 1 . t 1 - - - - J him every day, and in nine months Wotan had forgotten ail about his vic ktusneas. The horse learned what was required of him. rapidly, and in a few months more, was appearing In the Circus ClmsellL iMr. Salamow sky then began to train him for the balloon act - Wotan was led onto a platform inclosed on all four sides and tied with ropes so that he could neither Jump oft nor hurt himself. He then was Jacked up off the ground and raised an Inch at a time.. Wotan objected strongly when he found hlm-stlfeff- -the- -jrroirnct, ""bUT under con-" slant soothing and petting he allowed himself to be raised a little higher each day. .. After he had become ac customed to a heigh of several ' feet he waa given 'hie first dose of fire works. At first they were set off some d latance away. - Wotan never did Ilka fireworks,. -but each day they were brought a little closer, till finally they were fired off around bJa feet with out scaring him. This was a neces sary but . expensive . process. Mr. Salamowsky testifies that all- these fireworks -used in preparing Wotan cost "beegr money." It was a year and two months be fore Wotan had become accustomed to being hauled up Uvto the air co the height he goes at present. By the end of this time ha had been taught to put his weight on all four feet and -to keep perfectly still. It was a tedious process, but Wotan An ally understood. - Mr. Salamowsky then mounted him and accustomed him to carrying a rider on his back while in the air. At last Wotan was ready to do the trick in public. Then the problem was to find a woman who would do tha act with him. Numer ous ladies applied for the Job, but af ter watching Mr. Salamowsky make the assent with Wotan and the fire works go off they got Mr. Salamowsky described circles In the air with his forefinger and ap peared puzzled. "Dey rcrt (ley got ah. ihow you say eet een Eenglees?" ' "Cold feetT" "Gold feet" nodded Mr. Salamow sky delightedly. "Dey .say, 'Na, na, na; . I do not vecsh to preak my negg.' " Mr. Salamowsky also said that one lady who told ihim she was n't afraid to do anything watched the horse ascend a hundred feet in the air and then told him indignantly that if he wasn't a .brute he was nut ty in -the head -or words to' that ef fect in Ruewian. , S Finally Mme. Salamowsky, who had taken much interest In Wotan's training proposed that mho ride the horse In the air herself. Her hus band -hadn't thought -of that -but as she didn't seem afraid j and .as tve knew she had plenty of nerve, be placed her on the horse and she has been doing the trick with him ever since. - i- '-w 3..-",' ' "I would like en udder voman to do eet," said Mr. Salamowsky. . "1 like not to reesk main vlfe, but she- ess der only vomaa vat veel do eet."- - Mme. Salamoky does the act with Wotan under strict family" superin tendence. Her husband inspects the apparatus before every performance, sees that no strands In the steel ca ble which supports tha balloon are broken, iand haws over the four men who work the windlass In the gallery. Young SaJampwaky, a lad of about 16, carefully pays out the rope which leads from the bottom of the plat form to the ground below. It is this rone which contains the wire loading the electric current la the basement Mme. Salamowsky at the iheixnt of the ascent touches 'a button on one . of teh wires supporting the platform and thus sets off the nreworxs wnien spurt out from theledge of the plat form under Wotan's feet Mme. ealamowsky Is a plump. black-eyed little woman with the milk and rose complexion characteristic of Russian women. ' She talks brightly and unaffectedly, but speaks English with great difficulty. In talking of Wotan and herself she says that thoukh she Is neither scared nor ner vous, both she and tha horse feel, the strain tremendously and noth are ra le rod when they reach ute ground aga bi.- -?- - . ;. "' ' - - frequently "wuien tne piatirom bumps the ground afteran ascent she finds her' forehead broken f put with .ni-of use nersniration. " She IS able to tell the strain on Wotan by his .barely perceptlnle trembling, which becomes so marked that by the time they have made the highest point of the ascent his sides are heav- lnr and his breathing is labored. ' "When I start up' she maid "I be gin to work a spell on Wotan so that try- tn time I sex orr tne nreworas I heifer he Is fully hypnotized. X talk to him softly al' the time under my breath and stroke his neck. While we are going up I fee that Wotan and I -are one. .' I concentrate my mind steadily upon him. Sometimes I be lieve that Jie almost rwea.my inougvia.. I know ha Is responsive to my moods. If I am nervous or a little out of sorts I can tell the effect as soon as we leave the ground. He is harder to keep still and starts worse at the fireworks, i, He Is as Intelligent as he can be, I don't believe If any thing aver happened to nlra we could ever find a horse to replace him."
