CREATING A DEMAND.
At the theatre a lady’s hat obscured a man’s view, and he leaned forward and respectfully asked if she would remove it. A stiffening of the neck was the only answer. After a few minutes fie repeated his request. Then she turned to him. “There is no demand for my doing so,” she said. “No demand?” lie echoed. Then he rolled up his overcoat and placed it on his seat, sat on it, and put his hat on his head. In a moment there were shouts of “Take it off!” Take that hat off!” And instantly the lady drew out her hatpins and removed her hat.
