The editor of the Maine Farmer while attending
church, had his attention drawn from the more
immediate objects of service and devotion to the
subject Of ladies' hats, and thus discourse;h.
There is certainly wisdom in his suggestions.
We noticed at church Sunday, that some oi the
ladies wore then hats on the back of their heads

this is not fashion journal and we do not often
interfere in such matters but we would respect
fully suggest q compromi Use 10 The two prevailing
sty les of hats, and that they he worn on the head
where they will he some protection and answer
the purpose for which hats were intended.
We are not surprised at this--the present style
of ladies' hats is sufficient to divert the attention
of the most devout, and tempt the pious to
use strong language.
