I will not put it down here because I don't want my descendants to know I was guilty of paying so much for a hat, in war-time, too, when everybody is--or should be--trying to be economical.
"When I got home and tried on the hat again in my room I was assailed by qualms.

Of course, it was very becoming; but somehow it seemed too elaborate and fussy for church going and our quiet little doings in the Glen--too conspicuous, in short.

It hadn't seemed so at the milliner's but here in my little white room it did.

And that dreadful price tag! And the starving Belgians! When mother saw the hat and the tag she just looked at me.

Mother is some expert at looking.
