Summary
  • A woman goes to a hat shop wanting a hat for her horse. They try on all kinds of hats but she doesn't like any of them. She finally likes the lampshade effect but the color doesn't match the horses' complexion. In the last panel, her sister wakes her up. She tells her sister what a night she had. The rarebit caused her to dream a lot.
