These hats were auctioned during the evening, and the merriment mounted to hilarity as the be-flowered chap-peaux, some adorned with bunnies, some with real egg shells, and all of them with ribbons and unusual decorations, were sold. Mrs. Charles V. Wilson proved an able auctioneer.

Later the successful bidders donned the hats for the parade and pictures were made by Bennett I. Thayer, whose wife is a member of the group. The hat, made by his daughter, Mrs. Kpnnpth M.
