VICTIMS OF HIGH Hats,
Not the Wearers, but the Men
who sit behind them.

WIZ
Some things are very hard for
man to understand. For instance,
his wife, daughter, or friend may
agree with him that the greatest
nuisance at the theater is the big
hat. All them may be of one mind
that it should be abolished, and yet
none of them may be willing to
carry her theory into practice far
enough to sit uncovered, or even
to wear a hat reasonable in size
and built so that il, does not obstruct
the vision of the person sitting be.
hind her. This seeming contradic-
ton puzzles the male intellect. An
observer may say very truthfully
that the hats of all women are not
large in these days. That is true,
but it is in the power of single
hat to play the mischief, particul
arly if it goes into one of the front
rows just before the curtain rises
The wearer of big hat takes
her seat apparently unconscious iof
her head covering, and then a
peculiar movement begins back OF
her. Immediately behind her
some one has been sitting comfort
ably disposed to enjoy the play.
The hat obstruction compels this
spectator to move a little to the
right or lett, and thus affects every
one in the same line of vision in the
rear, compelling all to readjust
their position. Then what is
known to engineers as the twist.
ing strain is put on. 1t is inter,
esting to watch this undulating
movement as it passes over an
audience. Waves of twists will
pass. Looking from the rear the
audience has the appearance of a
great carpet when shaken from two
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1895-01-26

sides. The variety ofheads makes
the pattern, the semi-darkness
adds to the weirdness, and a per-
son inclined to superstition might
be brought into a state of mind
bordering on Mysteries if he should
give way to his imagination. Civ
en- appropriate music, the heads
resolve themselves into all sorts Of
uncannv creatures. They are
crawling in the dim light. Some
are black round bodies. Then
there is a glistening skull with
crescent-shaped dark streak I'M
der it, bordered by moving things
that have heads and tails, and they
rise and fall and nod. One has to
look a way forward to the old con-
ductor with the baton to be certain
of the fact that he is still on earth,
and has paid for standing room
only.
Take the view from in front.
Forget the play, watch the faces,
aud see how the big hat gets in its
work. A face so beautiful that
nothing seems lacking has a crea-
ton over it that is truly a head
covering. 1t reaches out on either
side inches beyond the face, and
towering above the crown are
plumes, bows, and an aggregation
of attachments that reminds one OF
a street musician who plays seven
different instruments at once. The
wearer is intelligent and evidently
interested in the play. She tss,ens
her eyes on the leading man AS
he moves she changes the position
of her head slightly. AS she does
it a hundred heads behind her
have to readjust themselves. The
faces as they do it are a study, and
form a play in front of the curtain.
Their expression changes from one
of interest to as many kinds of dis
gust as their are people disturbed.
A couple who are perfectly justified
in keeping their heads almost near
enough to touch, for the reason
that the opening through which
they can see requires it, have their
view shut off. Change Of position
is imperative, and they must con-
tent themselves with holding
hands.
1t is noticeable too, that the wo-
men are most intolerant as regards
the matter of hats. They some
times express their feelings audi
bly,. That the culprit understands
is evident, for cold, hard look of
defiance will come over her. Men
seem more philosophical than wo-
men. They will sacrifice their
comfort and learn in cramped posi-
tons, plainly taking no thought
for themselves, and their faces
will settle into a look of calm re-
signation, which long suffering has
taught. They sit quietly until the
close of the act, trusting to get
their reward then. - Louisville

The appeal issued by the Irish national

ing election in England meets with scant
favor in Chicago Leading 1rishmen of the
city are either industrious of saying any
thing or are opposed to the present political
methods pursued by the Irish party. Ex-
Congressman John f. Finerty editor of the
Citizen, the leading Irish paper of the West
says; " l look for nothing for Ireland either
from the McCarthyites or Redmondtes, and
still less from their British colleagues. But
my opinion is that there is little to choose
between the two parties. They are one and

which seems to meet with general favor, to

standard is in use. AT present regiments
in addition to the United States colors, are
provided with distinctive flags, namely
Blue for infantry, red for artillery, red with
castle in the center for the engineer bat
talon. 1t is proposed to abolish the dis
tinctive flag and allow the stars and stripes

regiments carry an American flag az well
as the yellow standard, which innovation is
sure to be popular.
