Fashion Note: Margo, the screen actress-dancer, heard this
story from the proprietor of San Angel Inn, the' old botet in !\lexica
City. Pancho Villa once made It his headquarters and arrived there
with five women. The women had a trunkful of loot which Villa's
plundering had brought them. They went into tOWII and ordered
hats designed for them by the most fashionable milliner in all
~Iexico.
When Villa had to. flee, the ladies had to travel light-and to
decide regarding the loot each would carry. All five vying {or
Villa's affectibns, abandoned all their trunks and took with them
only the pink box containing the hat each thought would make her
most attractive.
