- (continued from previous page)silk rillons. I was a very nice box with lovely paper in the inside
I was paked up and sent of on the train down to Cork.
After a week or so a very fine lady came in the shop where I was. She asked for a white straw hat.
The shopkeeper took me down from the shelf where I was. She took me off with her. I was in a very nice press. In a few months a poor woman came to her house and asked for an old hat. The lady went to the press and took me down.
The woman said she would take good care of me. But instead of that she threw me in the hedge and that is where I am still.
