One of our town ladies. with her
husband, went to the city quite re-
Gently to visit relatives and perhaps
to do a little shopping on the side.
On arriving at the relatives home,
the lady left her coat and hat on
chair in the reception hall and went
with her relative into the living
room for a little visit. 1t seems her
lelatiVe was the owner of Il small
puppy dog, and it seems in his
wanderings around the house, he
spied the ladies hat, which, by the
way, had bird on it. The dog must
have beer a bird dog, for when he
saw the bird, he made for it, and
Oh N.Y., what hat, when the pup
py dog finished with it. The rela-
tive was greatly distressed over the
ruined hat. but Rose, the owner,
didn't mind the loss too much, as
new spring bOnnets are on sale IN
the stores and she will probably
purchase one for herself before too
long. Get a pretty one Rose.
