Спереводом juliet: may i see that red hat you have on display in your window? saleslady: certainly, madam. j: i just adore this colour. i'd like to try it on. how is it supposed to be worn? do i have it on right? s: it should be worn a little more off the face. push it back a little. that's it j.: oh that's perfect. i really like it. but i don't know what my husband will say if i buy another new hat. he's just paid the bill for one i bought last month. s: the style of the hat is very good for you, l should say. it’s also a style that won't change. it'll stay in vogue for several years, i guess. so you can wear this hat next year just as well as this year, madam j.: unfortunately that's exactly what i told samuel about the last one i bought s.: oh, really? and what did your husband say? j.: he said, it only meant that the hat would look just as ridiculous next year as this year. he also said i'd probably end up by not wearing it either year. s: husbands don't understand such things, do they? j.: of course, not! a man wears the same battered old hat year in and year out and he expects his wife to do the same i think l'll take the hat. i don't really need it, but i can wear it nicely with several things i have now. it will also make a nice little dress hat for afternoon wear-don't you think so? s.: it looks really stunning on you. j.: yes, the hat has very smart lines. of course, it is a little expensive. my husband will consider it to cost a pretty penny. and he always economises. s.: you might explain to your husband that all our hats are original creations. they are copies of paris originals. j.: i won't explain anything to him. it's just a waste of time to explain something to people who don't care about fashion. i'll just appear one day with the hat on, and that's all. s.: and if you’re lucky, he may not even notice that it's a new hat. j.: hardly. you don't know my husband. he notices everything that causes additional expenses. but i don't pay much attention to what he says. my husband is a bore and i just take it s: i think, you are right, madam. that's the only tactics of all clever wives. shall i put the in a box for you to carry, or would you like us to send it to you? j.: you'd better send it to me if you don't mind. i have some other shopping i want to do today. s: by the way, how about something in a pocket book to go with your new hat, madam? j.: goodness! that's right. i haven't thought about accessories. i don't have anything i can use with a red hat. my brown bag is already beginning to look shabby. s.: if you step this way, you can look over our selection of handbags. here is a very pretty red alligator bag. it is only forty dollars. j.: it's very pretty, indeed. but i believe that's more than i ought to spend. i can't be too extravagant in one single day. i'd better wait. i can drop in again some other i presume it's all right if i pay you by check for that hat? s: certainly. have you some identification with you? j.: i have my driver's license. what was the exact amount of the hat, please? s.: the hat was thirty-five dollars and the sales tax is a dollar and five cents. that amounts to thirty-six dollar and five cents in all.
