Frank johnson stepped jauntily

strolled off through the lobby to
the checking girls headquarters
down at the right of the cigar
stand.
1t was a mere matter of form,
of course, that he accepted his
hat check without looking at it,
slipped it into a pocket of his Tux
and smiled his way back to the
dance floor.
The Ladies' Night was crowned
with success. Along towards mid
night Frank strolled back to the
check room and going through the
usual motions took the hat which
was handed him, babe others of
the party good night and drove
off home.
Next morning when he reach
ed his store on Duval street some
keen-witted clerk whose salary
ought to be raised spotted the
boss in partial Disguise, stepped
over to talking machine and Sc
lecting record, started the In
strument. It demanded loudly
Where did you get that hat?"
Frank looked his headgear over
and found that what he had
wasn't his. Consequently and
hence the adv. which has appear
ed in The Citizens very helpful
Lost and Found columns recently: /:
"Will the person who obtained
the wrong hat at the Casa Marina

Since Frank johnson showed
such excellent judgment in seek

Citizen, nothing else could be ex-
pected but that he got the hat
back.
