Mere Money and a Picture Hat.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 "I witnessed an amusing incident at one of the local theatres the other evening" remarked the theatregoer "A woman. wearing large picture hat was seated directly in front of an elderly man, who was strainig his neck in an endeavor to see what was happening on the stage. and. of course, 1t was only possible for him to see but one-third of the performance.
 ''The second act had begun, and I could plainly see that his anger was increasing. At last. when he could stand it no longer, he lightly tapped the woman on the shouI- der and. in as gentle tones as he possibly could muster, said:
 :" Madam, pardon me, but l paid $2 for this seat, and your hat
 "'My hat cost $25, slr-r-rt came the naughty reply. W
