Efficiency Makes a Hat a Lesson in Economy
In a tale framed by an officious efficiency man, Constance Brooke confronts a demand to replace her hat with a five dollar economical alternative. The scene unfolds in the library as hat boxes are opened and judged, ending with Constance choosing a simple modest velvet hat that balances cost and practicality. The confrontation hints at class and resource concerns, with an eye toward a forthcoming chapter.
