COUSIN FANNIE'S HAT
BY SUSAN LYNCH.

When Aunt Rachel came to see us
one day last week I noticed the mo-
ment she stepped out OF her automo-
bile that she had a millinery box
with her
ran 10 the door to let her in.
and as ! offered to relieve her Of the
package she said In a manner that
was snippy, to say the least: mot
for you Lucille. Once IN o while some
one else must be remembered"
There are times when End Aunt
Rachel very trying. but one has 10
make allowances for the pecuIiarities
Of the rich relatives, and ! always
feel It my duty TO overlook any dis.
agreeable remarks she makes.
The hat she brought was a perfect
dream. She said her milliner had per
suaded her to buy 1t against her better
judgment, and when she tried II on
before her own mirror she felt moro
than ever that the long, dropping
white plume and huge pink roses were
too young for her. So she decided to
give it to Cousin Fannie,
It was al:aos. pathetic to see poor
Cousin Fannie n that hat She has
not the style or carriage to wear
gach romantic nnery. SO as soon as
Amt Rachel left the house / kindly
offered to relieve her Of it.
"Ill give you IS for that hat" |
said, "and then you can buy herself
nice, sensible little turban that
will be of some real use to you"
why, Lucille" lnterposed mother,
how can you offer IS for that hat
when you must know that the plume
alone must be worth at least 1882"
| said no more, for was hurt that
mother should receive SO ungraciously
my desire to help Cousin Fannie.
That afternoon. while she and Cou-
SIN Fannie were at a meeting of their
church guild, / decided to make a
few calls. dressed in my pink and
white marquisette and then, just for
fun, tried on Cousin Fannie's new hat.
It was so tremendously stunning with
my frock that | simply had to leave
II on, for 1t was most satisfying to
ny artistic taste. Everywhere l went
that day could see the hat created
quite a sensation.
AS ! was going home late in the
afternoon | happened to meet Candy
Fuller, who is now living in a bach
elor apartment near us.
You are a symphony In pink and
white" he said admiringly as he
turned to walk my way. ''Neapolitan
Ice cream couldn't begin to look as
cool and refreshing as you do"

know, Candy, I've been making calls
nearly all this hot afternoon, and in
not one house have l been offered
anything cold to eat or drink

upon taking you over to Demonet's,

French ices are served"
We'll ] Insist upon going" I re-
turned gayly.. I'm sure It's not going
TO rain"
But It did rain, and rain hard, as we
we're going home. Candy felt dread
fully about my wetting but assured
him that my gown was tubbable, and
that II didn't matter about the hat.
| always find that nothing increases
a girls popularity with man friends
more than the faculty Of making light
Of little annoyances and accidents.
You are simply drenched," cried
mother as l ran into the house.
And you've actually got on Fannie's
hat! It's a perfect sight"
I'm afraid, mother that I've caught
cold" said. 81 feel awfully shivery.
VIII you please have lilly bring me

"Oh, Lucille, | hope II won't go to
your lungs" said mother.
Don't worry, dear for I'm sure I'll

for mother is always foolishly anxious
II ! have the least ailment.
After I had removed my wet gar
ments and eaten the dinner that moth
er brought me on a tray determined
to repair the damage done to Cousin
Fannie's hat, | took the feather off
and curled it with a penknife over
the gas jet as had seen grandmother

1t gave me an idea for a new colffure.

ment | forgot the plume in my hand,
and then | was startled by the odor
Of burning feathers. OF course the
plume was ruined. Somehow when
ever try TO be especially helpful or
economical some mishap is sure to
occur.
When mother told Aunt Rachel how
sorry was about the unfortunate ac-
cident all she said was that she should
think mother would feel that she had
lived in vain.
1t is simply cruel Of Aunt Rachel
to say unkind things to my dear
mother.
