OUR HAT MATRON

It often happens that we have 70 go out of town for news strangely The following paragraph which is more important than true is going the rounds of the country.
 '"The mayor of Bridgeport has ap- pointed Miss Susan. Watson, to the new and novel office, "Hat Matron." Her duties take her to all the theatres where she secures a commanding position and views the landscape o'er.' Any women wearing tall hats are immediately bounced upon and requested to remove them If they refuse Miss Watson takes down their name and reports them to all the theatrical managers in town, who promptly refuse to sell front seats to them ever after.
 "Of course if they repent. and wear low crown hats or none at all they can get front seats. But until they do the only reserve seats they can get are in the rear"
