Legion of Lost Hats.

Legion OF Lost Hats.
But hats! That's another problem.
Unclaimed "skimmers" on shelves Of
Washington valet shops would fit al
most any head and any taste. Straws,
panamas, cowboy hats, derbys - and
fedoras by the dozens.
Shoes are in the same class. Most
repair shops wrap the finished footwear

but hundreds Of lumpy bundles have
spent months waiting to be claimed.
Many shops which repair shoes also
reblock and refinish hats, and the
owners take a philosophical attitude
about unclaimed goods. They believe
derelict hats are there because of some
irate wife's Don't let me ever see that
battered old wreck again" ultimatum.
She does not realize that good re-
blocking has nearly restored the hat.
And she's willing to forget the deposit,
just to have the old lid lost in limbo.
Thank heavens they're not all like

The Brides Lost Dresses,

A young War Department worker is
a good example of the latter She
married an Army captain and moved
to the West Coast where the warming
sun reminded her that she had left
Washington without redeeming her
summer dresses. A letter to her mother
here started the search for three silk
dresses and lightweight coat.
The young bride with other things
on her mind not only had lost the
stubs for the clothing, but had for
gotten the location of the shop as well.
Her mother was not to be defeated,
however. Day after day she canvassed
the shops.
