    Well, it is a little tricky, but here is what I got:

    (P ∨ R) ∧ ∼ (S ∨ U) → (U ∨ T) ∧ ∼ (R ∨ Q)

    Explanation:

    First the Symbols:

    P: Alice is mad.

    Q: Alice frowns.

    R: Alice is mad

    S: The hatter is cross

    T: The hatter frowns

    U: The Hatter is mad

    *It is arbitrary, though, you can choose other symbols.

    I think the difficult part is that the "but not the Hatter" means that the whole statement that applies to Alice is negated for the Hatter.
