As the story goes, she takes two hats | with her on trips—the tri-corner and | one of the more modern creations. | ‘When not engaged in official business | or having her picture taken she wears | the latest style. But the moment she | enters her official capacity she takes | off whatever hat she happens to be wearing and dons the tri-corner. * &k ok And that's why, in all her pictures, | you see perched sedately on top of her | head the black tri-corner, a sort of badge of her office. * x ko ALL THE SAME. A cantaloupe is a cantaloupe re- | gardless of how it is spelled. For | instance, a Greek restaurant on Ninth street spells it “canteloupe.” Two blocks away, on Seventh street, a grocery has a sign reading: “Canaloops, 10 cents, three for 25.” Another store, on H street morth- east, has adopted this phonetic spelling: “Cantelope.” .
