"When Charles said yesterday morn ing, 'My dear, you will attend to or dering your spring hate before long, will you not?’ I knew it was useless to put off the matter any longer. Sa I promised him that I would get somethlng'that very day. I laid asifis that wonderful new play of Strind berg's that 1 was going to take over to the perk and read, and the poar dear wrote me a check and went lo the office looking quite relieved In his mind. "After he had gone, I stopped to finish only one act of Strindberg and then I started. On the way downtown I figured out Just what kind of hat 1 should get. "!t was not so hard to plan one In my mind, but It was a different mat ter to find the hat that I had planned 1 went to six shopa and tried on about 80 hats before I began to feel dis couraged and decided that there must be something wrong with my looks.

"When she saw me, she clutched me menacingly by the arm, as 1f I were responsible for the present social gys tern, for She said: 'Isn’t It an outrage that human intelligence has to be ex pended upon pursuits like this! They talk about the senseless fashions of women! Do they realize that men make these styles and then for re them upon us?. Do you know the meaning of this whole insane subject of fashion? It’s a device perpetrated by the merchants and manufacturers to get rid of the unconsumed surplus Now. when our sex has the ballot, I hope ' “I calmed her down, as much as I could by telling her that I felt that way about it. However, I was so re lieved to find that perhaps the trouble was not with my looks, after all, that 1 walked over to a counter where sev eral untrimmed hats were piled op n a bin and a lot of women were clutch ing at them and bought the first one from the top of the hean. It was light and soft and felt comfortable and did not make me look entirely like a ca- toon when I was trying it on. "So great was my relief at ending my search that I took home the ha* with quite a feeling of satisfaction. I reasoned that It would be a simple matter to trim it myself, for all I should have to do was to leave off most of the things that the trimmed hats had on. "That wag yesterday morning. The rest of the day and until midnight last night I devoted to attempts to trim the hat. Fortunately Charles j s-tayed downtown to dinner, so I could t work without interruption. I trimmed and untrimmed eight times and noth ing that I oould devise looked right, so I gave it up in despair and went to bed. "This morning as soon as Charles had gone I got the odious hat hut from under the bed, where I had hid den It, and by the broad light of early day discovered what was the matter with it. The trouble was in the color, which I had failed to observe closely. It was not a normal straw color nor S yellow- nor a brown, but a sickly, bilious', yellowish green, which made everything that It came Into contact with look seasick, including me. "It being noW' too late to return the hat, which had begun to show slgfts of wear. I carried It down to a dye shop and found that they could eolor It for me, hi t would have to change the shape, which was the least objec tionable thing about it, and that It would take four weeks. More Trouble. “I then went to a department stow and bought a bottle of dye, which the saleswoman said any child could ap ply with a small btush. In attempting to open the bottle after I had carried It home mv knife slljfiaed, the tin cap flew off and half the contents spilled over the kitchen table, a stack of dishes and the kitchen Sink, to all of which It immediately adhered like enamel. "Fortunately, ft was Della's after noon out, but as I knew that she would be very cross when she saw- ,the dye I spent two hours and a half ' and a can of scouring powder 1n re moving It from the Kitchen landscape before I could return my attention to the hat. The remaining contents of the bottle I then applied to the hat, except the part that splattered on mv- self I then refined It, trimmed 1t for the ninth time, tried It on and found that I could stand to look at the fin ished product in the glass without feeling ill. I felt that I had earned that hat. "When Charles came home I had It stuck on my head for'him to look at and was just beginning the second act of Strindberg He was very much pleased, and said: ‘That looks verv nice, my dear. Now. you See how easy it is to get becoming hats, no vou must go down and order two or three more, and then you will be supplied for the summer.” Dauntless Durham of the U. S.

"Quite like old times— what? And the missus, I know, is longing to shake you by the hand. But first—yes. you must come along and have a look at my greenhouse. You simply must!" And Long went. "Well. Jones," he said, "you've got a mighty preity place down here; but, to my mind, It’s just a bit bare.” "Oh!' replied Jones, cheerfully "that's because the trees are se young!
