I picked up a copy of "Nine Stories" by J.D. Salinger and noticed he mentions Hattie Carnegie in the story "Down at the Dinghy".
"Mrs. Snell had her hat on. It was the same interesting, black felt headpiece she had worn, not just all summer, but for the past three summers—through record heat waves, through change of life, over scores of ironing boards, over the helms of dozens of vacuum cleaners. The Hattie Carnegie label was still inside, faded but (it might be said) unbowed."
The writing is really good and the stories are all pretty interesting. It's a good book and relatively inexpensive if anyone is looking for something good to read. I wonder what the hat he is writing about actually looks like.
