THE QUILL 17 G. H. S. ORCHESTRA

I6 THE Quiti The eyebrow went up, and that look of suspicion came into his eye. We don't take Canadian money, he snapped with a shake of his head in a most decisive manner. I quickly passed himthe familiar Indian Head nickel I had been holding in reserve, and in return I received my stamp and change. Thoughtfully I fixed my stamp to the letter and dropped it into the right slot, and turned to count my change. I had re- ceived two pennies all right, and one of them was a Canadian cent! Maybe I don't unlierstand this trade treaty with Canada. We swap our money for theirs, but what do we swap their money for? -Pauline Fuller, '41 WHAT'S WHAT IN HATS The ever-changing trend in har fashions is interesting to note, but oh, so expensive to follow! It is indeed a problem to decide what variety of hat should be worn on vari- ous occasions. There is the saucer-shaped hat that is good on rainy days, doing the double duty of catching the rain and of keeping the hair dry. On bargain days one's antelope tam with the long, darting quill might bring more satisfactory results, as its decorative spear can be used as a warning reminder to others of the danger risked in coming too near. With a quick turn of the head, or a rotating movement of the neck, one is able to keep off competition at a bargain counter until one has picked over the lot. Those latest bonnets that frame the face are really very suitable for church wear, as they hide from view many distracting incidents. Have you ever no- ticed the close-fitting turbans that spinsters wear? Well, there is a well known belief that they are worn so that every eligible male can be quickly sighted! And what is more becoming to the cross-eyed girl than a hat that dips over one eye, completely con- cealing it from sight? Then who cares in what direction it is looking? Fashions vary and change so often that it would be wise for one to get a hat that could be put to good use after it is discarded. That tall black hat would make an excellent coal hocl for fatherg seeing things in this light, he might not object so strongly to one's hat bills. Now take, for instance, those towering nightmarish creations. It is uni- versally agreed that they serve as a better protection than any big, burly policeman when one finds oneself unescorted on a lonely road. Why, no self-respecting male would come within a yard's distance of one! When the hat that resembles a modern skyscraper was introduced, no doubt the designer had our town gossip in mind and provided for more space in order that all the juicy bits of scandal might be hidden under it. Hats serve many purposes now-a-daysl -Doris Colby, '41
