Morris is ambassador to Japan. You

Just before the Titanic disaster. They
were going home from the Geyelin we'd

Al LAnt Il
In town, or on the Main Line. for that
matter. 1t was during the heat of the
Horse Show and she stopped to talk
awhile at the rummage counter.
As I said, it was exceedingly hot, and
she took her white sports hat off and
nut it down a moment. Some one called
her Just then. and she went over to the
playhouse just across the road and
talked for a few minutes. Then, my
dears.' she remembered her hat and
went back for it. 1t was white and it
was stunning looking and she had paid
SIS for it. Well, you can guess, when
she got there-no hat. She turned to
one of the women who was selling there
and said, 81 left my hat here; did you
see any one move. it!'
mo, don't think I know your hat :;
what was it like?" replied the other.
"a white satin sports one-there,"
she pointed to a person of color who
was passing, "what a scream; she has
one just like it." "Oh. my goodness :"
exclaimed the other, II just sold her
that for $2.'
And she had sold Mrs. Ms perfectly
new satin SIS hat to Mrs. Ms very
large, very dressy cook, who happened
to be taking her afternoon off And so
1t happened that the hat went to its
own home again after the Horse Show.
