Ethel was certainly very proud Of
her new hat, with it's long streamers

world was the use of having brand
new hat. unless one could wear it and
show 1t Oft to the other girls partic-
ularly that horrid stuck-up Julia
Green. But Mother had forbidden 1t,
especially she said as she had not yet
had time to sew on bit OF elastic. so
there 1t was hidden away in its boz.
But this morning Julia had ap-
peared at school in new white shady
hat. pretty white daisy wreath

ever. This was too much for Ethel
and in spite Of tho fact that Mother
was not at home to be coaxed into
consent. she decided to take matters
in her own hands and wear the new
hat that afternoon to school.
So taking 1t from the box she put
1t on, and stood in front Of the mirror
Admiring it. She felt sudden tweak
at the ribbons. and saw reflected in
the mirror the hooking face Of her
young brother Jack. How grand we
