Sally's Red Hat.


y ALLY GAWTREY had reached

had taught her a thing or two,
she had had a few smart slaps from
fate. and even now certain memories
of disaster and death continued sharp
at times But at least she had arrived
at the point where she could be sensi-
BILE and pick up any little joy that
might come her way.
Just lately, too, bit of good for
tune had befallen her. An almost I'M
known relative had left her few
thousands, which enabled her to take
a long rest, he Independent of work
and her married sister--who, by the
way, could not understand Sally's not
maErying-and get for herself few
of the things her soul had always han
kered for. Books, for instance, and
little trip now and then.
So it was that she came to go to the
city alone. Her sister Anna. Mrs.
Swartout, had intended to so. but at
the last moment had been unable to
because her husbands mother ws COM

you are sure you can go without
me?" she asked, and Sally had smiled
her little smile Of patience and cour-
tesy.
Yet all the 60 miles to town she won

She was wearing brown now, little
old shape Anna had trimmed for her
and it made her, as she we'll knew
look muddy. Not that that mattered
She was peeping into the fascinat

woman who was bending to take hal
from the window saw her and beck
