C1eRi There never was woman whol
&new what to do about new Easter
hat--except to buy one"
He ,huckled at his own sarcasm.
which Is way men have. Sarcasm
Isn't worth cent to your genuinely
sarcastic man unless he can chuche
over 1t and repeat 1t mentally to him
self and roll it as a sweet morsel I'M
der his tongue. Especially is this
true OF sarcasm about Easter bonnets.
Regarding these very necessary APP
purtenances Of the attire OF woman.

tho iolesmiths since Samson, who
made the first riddle, and wakes sar.
castle as custom dictates.
81 don't see" Henry resumed, hay-
Ing stated himself with chuckles over
his own sarcasm, why in the name OF
time a woman thinks she has to have
q new hat for Easter"
why, every woman has one his
wife argued, meekly.
That's the answer Every woman
gets one becauge she thinks every
other woman will have one. And not
a cOnfounded one of the LOT uses any
business judgment In selecting or buy
Ing her hat. The millincrs know all
about women--they're women them
selves So they boost the prices mp
at Easter time, and laugh in their
sleeves at their sisters who come trail
ing in and go trailing out with tie
gontraptions the milliners are pleased
to call bonnets. Bah! I'll bet no mil
liner will mako her own hat. I'll bet
she has to go TO some other milliner
Just 10 have the feminine gratifca-
ton Of being stung. Humph! Have
you brought your hat home?
"Why, no. said didn't know
what TO do about one"
you might have brought one nome
and still have been in the dark"
Henry treated himself to few moro
Chucliles over this sarcastic remark.
The way men carry on about Easter
hats, II serves them right TO have 10
pay big prices for them. Nov, IL a
man would just be calm and phi!oso
phical about it. and sit down and rea
son the matter out. ten to one his vito
would either buy a cheaper hat or
maybe she wouldn't buy any at all
Maybe, that Is. At any rate, she
would be happier with the hat when
she got il.
well. Henry" his wife said, Il
know how you always feel about my
hats and what they cost, and have
decided this year to act on your adj.
vice. l want you 10 take an hour or
SO with me tomorrow and pick out a
hat for me. ThCa you'll be sure at
least to please yourself with the cost
OF it-and sometimes feel that you
could exercise perhaps a little more
artistic taste than | can. for you are
out in the world more, and you know
more about what harmonizes and
what suits person, and SO on"
, Mrs. Granmore looked meek when
she said that, but il you could have
looked into her mind you would have
seen the craftiest little thoughts hop
ping around and nudging each other
man She knew that IL you tell
man you rely on his judgment as to
anything from setting a hen to max
ing an alrship he will modestly accept
your estimate Of his capacity and offer
you his expert services.
"Well." Eenry said. now you're
talking sense. I'll meet you at 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon and we'll

a Lot OF time over It, I'll show you
how to pick out hat. have 1t boxed.

wear and tear on your nervous system
and without losing a lot OF valuable
time"
Next afternoon he met her as per
agreement and together they found
their way TO the millinery store. 1t
irkee Mr.. Granmore bit to have to
wait half an hour before they could
be waited on. but he profited by the
wait by inspecting a number OF new
pattern hats and scofiing and shifting
mt them. BY the time Miss Morgan
was ready to wait on him he was
ready with a plenty OF good profess
alonaI advice on bonnet making for
her.
Taking a bunch OF straw and a
feather and yard Of ribbon and Jam.

make a hat" he declared. People
ought to use little thought, as well

That's what think, Mr.. Gran

"Wen, don't claim to be rnillin
err" Henry said, "but ! know what
like when see 1t. Now. I've only go'
a few minutes to spare. and I'll just
pick out a hat for my wife and let you

Very WE'LL" Miss Morgan replied. q
