Dear Helen:
Why didn't you meet me on
Tuesday at McCabes tea room as
you promised? Jennie and / had
Strawberries, ice cream and cake.
They were SO perfectly delicious
that We both ordered q second
time.
While We sat at the table, there
were three girls came in with no
hats. They were seated near us
and were relating how one Of
them had been mistaken for one
Of the store clerks by a customer
who was impatient at not being
more promptly waited on. Discov-
ering her mistake she took a part
ing shot at the bad taste of all
women in general who appear in
stores and on the streets without
a hat. Yes" said another, I've
been severely censured for the
same indiscretion and assure you
I'll not again appear on the streets
or in public places without a hat,
as l know this foolish habit has
been carried to an extreme which
Is causing much unfavorable com.
ment and criticism of the impro,
priety of going in street cars,
stores and various places Of bust
ness, totally ignoring the ordinary
principles of street etiquette"
Don't mention it to anyone else
but l afterwards met Jennie NJ.
and her young sister down at the
glove counter and both were with
out hats and they seemed so I'M
comfortable and finally spoke of it
and said, this would be their last
experience on the street minus
their millinery"
Can't you meet me tomorrow
about 1890 and lunch with me at
McCabes? Lovingly,
Madge.
