THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
HUNTING A HAT


teered the price as twenty-five dol
lars. Mollie looked heart-broken, for
the hat was very becoming, but she
knew that she could not pay that for
her hat
We had hard work to get away
from the girl, and not until we told
her that ten dollars was the most we
would pay did she lose interest in us.
While Mollie was trying hats in one
alcove l stood where could see a
woman who was surely over forty
trying on hats right across from us.
( Don't show me black hat. can't
wear them, !" heard her say, and then
saw her try on hats that were years
too young for her.
One of baby blue which showed up
every wrinkle and aging defect in her
face she seemed to think particularly
becoming.
''My, do you suppose that woman
is going to buy that hat?" asked Mol
lie in CONSERVATION as she caught
sight of her
81 am afraid she is" l answered.
Some one ought to tell her it looks
terrible on her" whispered Mollie. 81
"All right, you do it," said, and
then we both giggled so loudly that
the woman glanced over to us.
Icaught sight of her envious face
as she caught sight of Mollie's joyous
countenance aight with youth and
laughter, and all of sudden l knew 1
was looking upon a tragedy wo-
man who was still vainly trying to
find her lost youth; whose heart was
still young. She was trying on hats,
that were becoming to her young
heart, not her old head.

when she is stalking hat at a spring
opening.
Mollie and went shopping for our
spring hats yesterday. had made up
my mind that l would give Mollie
Just the best time possible and in
clude the hat.
Father Waverly is well enough to
be downtown, and l had Dick bring
his mother over here to spend the
day with Aunt Mary, and Mollie and
l started on a regular hat Gag"
which was to be made up of looking
for hats, luncheon, buying hats, tea
and then home to my rooms where
Dick was going to bring his father,
and Mollie and l would finish the day
by showing our hats and having din
ner.
Where shall we go first?" l asked
MOllle as we took the car downtown.
Lets go to that awfully expensive
new French hat shop" said MolIie.
1--WE can't afford any of the hats"
I said decidedly.
81 know it" acquiesced Mollie, but
we can get an idea of all the exclusive
modes and ideas, and then if we see
the other we will know how nearly
they come up to the standard"
The pretty Irish girl, who spoke
French with a brogue automatically
and called us both madamoiselle,
soon had Mollie seated in front of
