Tho story Of how tho RabagaB hat, now so
fashionable in Paris, WAS invented is a1nost curl
Gus one. For long time 1t was a mystery, but
tho narrative Of itH origin has recently boon told
As it may in tine work its way to our sido Of the
ocean, it will probably intoroat those who
may ohanco to wear it to know that
that notorious crenturo, Cora Pearl, WAS
tho inventor Of the ohapoau. Miss 'Pear1,
ns tho story runs, attended brilliant supper
at tho hIaison Dorco after witnessing n. Sar-
dous play Of tt 1iabagas" Wllilo ut the table the
whim seized her to Manufacture a new sort Of
hat, which she predicted would soon become tho
fashion. Carrying out her caprice, aho took
hat Of one Of tho gontlomon present, cut tho rim
Oft with table-kniio, aud requested the owner
Of tho hat to crush it il with bis fiat with al tho
force ho could givo the blow. This WAS
dono,, aud tho result was nondosoript head
covering, round in shape, and with d
most .uproarioua turn. 6ho then called for q
green voil and ribbon, and loolnrod that she
would wear that hat for tho rest of tho season
In tho Champs Elysees and elsewhere. She was
as good aa her word, aud, after a while, q
fashionable modiBto took up the idoa, and ladies
who neither knew nor carol whence the hat
originated adopted tho fashion AZ an exquisite
novelty. TiliB eccentric bonnet is not only
curious in shape, but 1t ia worn curiouBly. It is
covered with q yoll and il placed On tho back Of
