Days was the only dissenting voice.
Edith wants nothing-but her new

meant.
'She just means that I'm saving up
for hat for Easter; I've been hoard

my Christmas money! It's all going

The girls looked at Edith enviously.
While she had no more to spend than
they. she seemed to have everything

'Humph!" said the boy scornfully

seniority. Those aren't fighting

Lucille wondered vaguely what that
might be and then begged him to
come and play"
They played for many day to come,
and then the boys parents moved to
another city.
Seven years later he came back for a
visit. He had now attained the great
age of II and when he had met his
former playmate, who had just proudly

The Hats True History.

No when Easter was only three days
off Edith began to think seriously
about an Easter hat. The girls kept
asking If her New York nat" had
come, and, resolving not to disappoint
them altogether, she had laughingly
replied: mot yeti" But her mother,
on whose assistance she had counted,
was still away from home.
So this rainy afternoon Edith had
gone up garrett" to rummage the
closets and trunks. And finally she
had unearthed treasure-her grand
mothers wedding bonnet! 1t was q
great leghorn hat, entirely dismantled
now and helplessly battered and
stained.
II wonder what shoe-blacking
would do for it," unused Edith. And
by catching the brim up-so that
hole wouldn't be seen. But-for the
trimming? Great-grandmother's lace
cap strings! They'll make dainty
ruching, and I'll put a bunch Of
something or other, where the brim's
looped up. There won't be another
hat in Oldtown like tor in New
York, either!"
Edith's fingers flew, and seemed
gifted with a fairy touch, although
the finished hat proved queer-look-
ing object-in the hand.
Mrs. Day reached home the after
noon before Easter. Presently she
said: 20, Edith, you never wrote me
about your new hats 1t success?"
Edith's eyes danced. "Pll put II
on, mamma, and you can see"
Mrs. Day regarded 1t critically.
"Well, it's certainly not-what ex-
pected."
but, mamma, will 1t do to wear?"
Eyes, DEAR" replied her mother.
land really, 1t looks very well. But
1T didn't come from New York, now
did it," n
Then, laughing and blushing. Edith
told the entire story, only begging her
mother to let nobody into their secret
just then.
So that is how Edith came to wear
that remarkable dull black leghorn,"
trimmed with time-yellowed lace and
real bittersweet berries, on Easter day.

The Hat Itself.

1t was beautiful and bright on Easter
morning, and Oldtown church was
filed to the doors.
No ono would have admitted that
sheer he-felt the slightest curiosity
to see Edith Days New York hat"
yet when Edith came in all eyes for a
moment rested critically, wonderingly
or admiringly upon the decidedly un-
usual creation which adorned the
young girls head. 81
And afterward on their homeward
way these various comments upon it
were exchanged:
Its awfully becoming!" Its q
perfect fright!"s tits stylish-but it's
queer!" 1T looked like dull black
leghcrn." "Such old-time yellow lace!"
WASN'T that wreath real bittersweet
berries!" "Queerest New York hat
ever saw!" "She looked roguish-she
knew everyone was looking at it,"
"She hurried home as II she felt afraid
we'd ask how much 1t cost" 1T
looked like a coal scuttle upside
| down."
And the final verdict was this: odd
town millinery is good enough for us!"
Why It Was What It Was.
All winter Edith had saved her
money with this object in view. And
at last. two weeks before Easter, the
important letter was written to the
friend in New York, and Edith started
for the post ONCE to get the money
order and send 1t on.
-"Where are you going?" asked
Marian, meeting her.
ITO order my new hat. Come with
me-"
II can't. I'm going up-street for
mother" sighed Marian. and afterward
she thought, disdainfully: Edith cares
for nothing but her clothes"
Meanwhile Edith went happily on

In the dim room she saw weeping

She escaped at last and fastened on

blessings ringing in her ears.
Suddenly she stopped. "Why should

Edith wondered what mamma

had no chance to tell her mother.
And the next morning Mrs. Day was
