HIGH HATS MUST co.
On motion of kelsey, a. 3. 794, prohib-
ItIng the wearing of high hats in theaters
etc, was made case OF urgency.
North said he favored the bill because
he had been at the opera the night before
and seen that most of the ladies were
] without hats. 1t was evident that thew
were inclined to meet the movement half
way and he believed in striking while
the iron was hot.
Waymire said that this bill was all verv
well for joke, but he hoped that the
Assembly would not lower itself by pass
ing II and Infringing on the privileges of
the ladies.
Cutter said he did not agree with the
gentleman from Alameda. He did not
think women wished to make themselves
public nuisanCes. He thought the intro
ducer OF the bill would be considered a
public ben eiactOr. If women are GOING
| to vote, he thought it had better be passed
while the Legislature has a chance to
do so.
Dinkelspiel and Belshaw spoke against
the bill, although they acknowledged that
the high hats were nuisance they had
suffered from. Powers spoke in favor of
the bill.
The bill was passed-ayes IS, noes l6.
Brusie explained his vote of no, saving
that he thought the measure wrongly d.
rected. 1t should be directed toward the
managers who sell tickets, and thereby
enter into contract with the public.
