is not sure whether he has seen "The

occupied a seat and heard the music,

in front of him.
The hat was covered with luxuriant

was willing to have admired. When

but not much else. Then an usher came
to the rescue and requested the woman

Then there followed a-dance number,
with the beauties Of the chorus, but
Mr.. Hill saw only quilts.
Josephine Cohan began to do q song
over at one side Of the stage, but re-
turned to the center. Mr.. Hill resumed
his view Of the hat.
The manager saw his predicament and
had converse with the woman, but she
refused with emphasis to remove her
hat.
Then the manager offered to change
Mr.. Hill's seat, but he said it hardly
was worth while; besides, he had grown
to like the hat.

Mr.: Coyle was awakened shortly after

classified as uncertain had pressure put
