Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-03-08

little old dabs of hats | used to wear
wouldn't keep me from catching colds in the
head and anyway l never catch colds there.
I catch them in my chest and then not very
often.
SIS you still haven't explained to me
why you haven't worn any hat lately. / ses
II was even half way showing the other night
and you went out without a hat. Ethel ses
we'll il you look around you will see quite a
number of ladies without hats these days
Joe.
SES well now that think Of it have
noticed some but l thought they were just
dizzy danes who were trying to kid them
selves that they are still little girls with their
hair hanging down their backs
ETHEL SES is that meant for met ses
certainly not Ethel ses the ones | noticed
were lot older than you and didn't look
cute without hat like you do. SEES all new
STYLES don't fit all danes and Ethel ses it
isn't question of style with me Joe. Do you
know why quit wearing haiti | am using
the money l used to spend on hats to buy
defense stamps Don't you think that's a
wonderful ideai
| SES we'll | guess it is Ethel | SEES
didn't you buy your hats from Name
Walters Hat Shopi Ethel ses that's right
Joe She spells it with two ps and an on
the end. She always has the cutest hats Of
anybody in Brooklyn and very reasonable.
SES all right but do you know that
Name might like to buy defense stamps
Ethel ses well why doesn I she 20 and buy
them theni Who is stopping her.
| SES well sweets suppose every dame
gets the same idea as you and starts going
around without hat and nobody buys hats
any more from Name how is she going to get
any money TO buy defense stampsi Ethel
Ges why Joe see what you mean. You mean
ought to 60 back to wearing hat and Of
course | would have to have new one now
because my old ones are out Of style and
would buy my new one from Name and she
would buy defense stamps with my money!
SEES we'll that's the general idea Ethel and
she ses yes but how could buy defense stamps
myself then JoeP I ses we'll you could sort OF
spread your money between the two things.
SEES suppose quit wearing shoes TO buy
defense stamps and everybody else did too how
could Skinny Ellis the shoe clerk hold his job
and get money TO buy stamps for HIMSELF Ethel
SEES o you just have to have shoes Joe. You know
how terribly cold your feet get in winter even
when you have your thick soled shoes on
SEES we'll am just trying to explain my
point TO you. I Ses the idea is you give little
and take little and Ethel Ses that's not the idea
at all Joe Turp. I have just figured out in my
mind what you really mean and 1t hasn't got
anything to do with defense stamps. You just
don't like my going out with you without a hat
and why don't you tell me so instead of talking
about Name Walters and Skinny Ellis? I ses
you have got me all wrong Ethel l seS love
you without hat. I Ses you make dame like
Abbie Schultz look sick without a hat
ETHEL SEES don't tell me she is not wearing
a hat? I ses well she wasn't when I saw her
when I was on my way home. Ethel ses with
that horrible mop of hairP o 1 see what you
meant when you spoke about dizzy danes who
were trying to kid themselves that they are
still little girls with hair hanging down their
backs. Joe wait minute. I'll go in and put on
an old hat and tomorrow III buy new one from
Name Yours truly JOE TURP.
