Bring Lunch,

Not Apple, To Teacher

Kay Kyser, “the old professor,” has a passion for pound cake. It’s usually included in those quick orders for food he sends out for between shows. } But he has his troubles. Not long ago out. went an order for hot soup, “ham on” and pound cake. The food duly arrived. There was a “whoppin’ ” big package along with the soup and sandwich.’ When the maestro got around to his favorite “dish” low -and behold he found that the package contained not the pound cake but a POUND of cake.

And so it goes. He complains

NEW YORK, July 14—Carrie Munn came out with the reassuring news today that as long as there is anything left to make hats out of Fhe is going to wear crazy ones. She has 12 new numbers to see her

through the summer.

For 15 years her fantastic headgear has been a social legend, the bizarre models which she perched on her trimly coiffed red brown

hair ranging from miniature copies of Bedouin tents to purple “weaver doughnuts. In her more formal, nocturnal moments tufts of birds of paradise feathers pinned on at odd intervals, adorned her

pretty head. > These millinery fantasies excited all the more comment as people learned that her husband was dignified, portly Orson D. Munn, publisher of the Scientific American. “I wear crazy hats to make conversation,” she explained in defense of the zanier numbers. “Now take this one with the bleeding hearts of red felt,” reaching for something that looked like a bunch of radishes. “Men love it.” She picked up another model, a blush orchid pink poke bonnet trimmed with nodding red roses that had faces of women in the centers. “When my husband saw this he sald, ‘My God, what's that?’ I knew it was a success. All of my bast numbers have drawn cracks like that from. him.” ;

» » » SHE BEGAN making hats when she was 15.

“I took an old fur hoa of my |

gunt's,” she reminisced, “and cut it in half. One piece went into a Cossack turban, the other into two cuffs for my coat. I stuck a pink rose on the turban and called in the boy next door to get the full effect.” That was in Buffalo. When she came to New York she opened a millinery shop. “I was so young the wholesalers were afraid to give me credit,” she said. “But when they saw my hats they changed their minds.” When she married Mr. Munn she closed the shop. “A young son, a town and country home and a husband occupied my time for 16 years,” she said today. “But I never forgot the fun I'd had in the shop. When people would praise my hats I'd beg my husband to let me open another shop.” She smiled. “Last year he called my bluff by saying he’d advance me $10,000 if I wanted to try it again. The crazy part of that is I opened a shop, but it was for dresses, not hats.” : . x HER HATS are not for sale. When she gets tired of them she either tries wearing them backward, making them over in her. Waldorf AP: t or giving them to her models at the store. She keeps a surplus supply at her Southampton home.

“I make all of my own hats,” she
