J. HEATH, D.P.A,O.2.R,, ST. JOHN N.B MY FIRST HIGH HAT. A USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING STORY FOR SPRIGS OF SOCIETY. Conveying In a Delicaic Manner the Moral That a Novice Should Prac- tice Well In Private Before Wear- ing a Ping Hat In Public, It was during opera week that my wife said to me, “You must have a bigh hat to wear with your dress suit.” 1 looked aghast. 1 had never worn a high hat. I had never wanted to. “But, my dear,” I exclaimed, “I'd look like a blooming jay in a plug hat. My head isn’t the right style for it.” “You can get it shaped,’ said my wife. “Well, that I'll never do,” I said firm- ly. “I’ve worn this shape for a good many years and’— “Stupid!” said my wife. the hat.” Of eourse 1 knew she did. I was playing for time. “Anyway.” | said, “I couldn’t keep it in order. I'd be forever rubbing it the wrong way. And with this face’— “You can have it ironed,” said my wife. I stared at her with drooping jaw. “Ob, you know well enough,” said she, “that I mean® the hat.” She was right. Of course I knew. “Well,” 1 persisted, “up in Chicago the men wear golf caps with their dress suits, and tan shoes and tennis belts.” “How do you know?” sharply inqvir- ed my wife. She lived in Chicago be- fore the fire. “I meant The Sunday Yawp,” I said. “Nevertheless,” said she, “you'll have te wear a high hat to the opera.” She knew she was right. I wore it. It was not a pleasant experience. On the way to the opera house I couldn’t help a continual stooping. That hat looked high enough to brush the gold leaf off the eternal stars. When the conductor came along, he knocked it to an angle that made me look like a retired bartender. When I got out of the car, I bumped the hat off against the door casing. When I walked dowa the aisle, I carried the hat in a way that made my wife nudge me and sav- agely ask if I was taking up a collec- tion. When I put the hat under my seat, a pretty girl in the seat behind me insisted upon playing a tattoo on the crown with her patent leather toes. The opera was the “Marriage of Il i- garo,” and my wife, who had never heard the opera, presently whispered, “That air sounds strangely familiar.” “Yes, it does,” I agreed. “What is it?” she asked. “T think it is ealled ‘Where Did You Get That Hat? ” I replied. After the curtain fell I got the hat on wrong end to the front and for a mo- ment fancied my head suddenly and alarmingly swelled. But wife detected the blunder, and I reversed the chim- ney pot In such a hurry that my elbow knocked off my wife’s eyeglasses. In the car, too, in bowing to a lady friend who, I fancied, looked highly amused at seeing me I brought down the hat so far that it banged into the flower garden on the hat of the lady in front of me. When I got home, my wife said, “You'll have to practice a little with that hat before you are really comme i) faut.” “Commy il nonsense!” I cried. going to take it baek tomorrow.” And I did. I suppose the dealer thinks I borrow- ed it just to wear to the opera. But I don’t care what he thinks.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
