Lowdown On The Auction From Tops
To Bottoms By Old Hap-Hazard
Fine weather and straw hats were
features at the Auction this year.
Tops in the Hat Brigade go to Mar-
garet Wood for the creation some
milliner dreamed up on a dare.
Second best looked like somebody
took a forkful of rye straw and
dumped it on the lady's head. Third
best was the lady wearing a hat
decorated with paper balls, very
cleverly done, too.
And the men got in the act too,:
Paul Gross had the wildest colored
hat band we ever saw, no doubt
decorated by his wife. Monkey hats
were everywhere. Doc Jordan
looked like a little Italian grocer on
South Main [Street in Pittston. Al
Ackerman, the Lion, looked his
genial self in spite of the monkey
hat. Whenever there is anything
going on around Dallas ‘Al is sure
to be there, a real public spirited
guy. Then who could miss Herman
Thomas in his ten quart Texas
Stetson. Who could get away with
that one better? :
All in all it was a lot of over-
head.
Now to. get
things.
No doubt the male oglers got
many an eyefull looking over the
gals and ladies in shorts. If some
of the ladies ever got a view of
themselves headed west they would
confine their shorts to the kitchen.
But alas the Junior Leaguers shape
up real well in this department.

The shorts were there in an amazing
variety of styles, ample, unreveal-
ing, dignified, generous, glove fit-
ting, and colorful. There must have
been a lot of sunburned knees come
Sunday morning. One of the more
generously proportioned ladies, go-
ing west, must have been the model
the sailor called his “broad.” The
most peculiar thing about shorts is
that they are singular at the top
and plural at the bottom. We think
that about covers everything.
