Important Problem solved.
I've been wondering for some time how
were going to get along if hats keep on
growing larger. and street cars stay the
size they are. Yesterday I saw the prob
lem solved. Three girls with bushel bas-
zet hats stepped in 10 a crowded car.
There were no seats for them. and there
wasn't even standing room for the hats.
Perhaps II wasn't the first time the three
had been obliged 70 stand Up in a car
with those hats on At any rate, they
knew exactly what to dc. The second
girl bent her head 20 one side till the brim
Of her hat slid under the brim OF the first
girls hat. The third girl slid one side OF
her huge headpiece under the brim Of
the second girls, and there the three
were, crowded into the smallest possible
space. their hats overlapping like the
shields Of Caesars soldiers. SO deity
was IL done that feel sure they've prac-
ticed II many time.
