At the hatter's

 This morning when I was putting back the books on the shelves, after the living room had been painted, I came across two old text books for learning English.
I remember now that I bought these two books in a second-hand shop many years ago, when I was still working as a teacher of English,  because I wanted to see how much teaching/learning English has changed along time.

One of the books was published in Mexico in 1898 and the one I took this pic of was  published in Barcelona in 1921.
Here is an example of a 'possible' conversation at the hatter's. I  Perhaps it was really useful then! Who knows?  ;-)
