A Wardrobe in a Hat.

Grandfather De Voe is an artist who appreciates fine millinery. His young married daughter, however, was practising domestic economy, when a hat, a beautiful creation in real lace, arrived for little Ellse from her devoted grandparent, whose eye had surrendered to this bit of baby apparel the moment he saw It In a department store. “That hat Is too extravagant for this family,” remarked the young mother. “I’ll take It back and see what I can do.” A few days later the grandfather called to see the baby In the new hat. “Do let me see how she looks In It,” he said. "And how did you like It?” “Very much, father, thank you. They gave me two hats, two dresses, a sweater, and thirty-nine cents In change for It.”
