vices to keep from getting bitten such
as mosquito head nets and mosquito
shields. The head net was a device
made of white tarleton netting, fitted
with five light weight round steel
springs or bands, that when fully ex
panded or opened, was made to be
worn over a hat or cap on one’s head
extending down over the neck and
shoulders protecting the wearer from
insect bites. When not in use, the head
net (which was collapsible) could be
folded and put into one’s coat pocket.
Whereas the mosquito hat shield,
made of sturdy netting, was attached
around the wide brim of a muslin fish
ing hat, and was made to hang down
over one’s head and neck to keep mos
quitoes away, and when not in use, the
light weight hat shield could be rolled
up and carried or stuffed into one’s
pocket. Then, too, the 1929 Johnson

resolution to cut back on his work
which he doesn’t keep. I’ve given him
all sorts of gruesome novelty items to
remind him of his promise, but they
end up being displayed on his desk
as a collection . Can you offer any
suggestions?
You can sell the gruesome collection
and live with your husband’s obsession.
Or better yet, go outdoors and find a
brownstone to give your husband with
a copy of Emily Dickenson’s following
poem: How happy is the little stone,
That rambles in the road alone,. And
doesn’t care about careers, And exigen
cies never fears; Whose coat of elemen
tal brown, A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun, Associ
ates or glows alone, Fulfilling absolute
decree, In casual simplicity.
Day 2 includes - car, primitives, rugs, sterling, glass and
