DisagreeabIe Experience to Two in

The woman who had just purchased

agreeable experience the first time
she wore it to church. Happening to
bow too low at one point of the serv-
ice, her hat slid off, carrying her wig
with it and exposing the little wisp of
hair which was all that was left of
her natural crown Of glory and which
was screwed up in most unbecoming
fashion. A relative, kneeling beside
her, made dive for the chapeau and
succeeded in Receiving and replacing
1t before its loss had been noticed.
But the TRANSFORMATION" had disap-
peared. After awhile a man in the
pew in front reached for his handker-
chief, which he had placed inside his
hat on hassock. His hand became
entangled in something which appar-
