Only One Theater Hat.
To the Iditor of The Evening Star:


Every one who saw The Prisoner of
Zenda' last night doubtless enjoyed the
performance with one exception. The per-
son who sat behind the only theater hat in
the orchestra must have been solely dis
appointed That there was but one such
hat shows that the ladies Of Washington,
as a rule, are consderate of the comfort
of others. The big hat referred to was not
so very high as hats go, but its wearer
was. At least she sat higher than any one
else in that row. But the hat was good
deal wider than it was high, so that the
height of the wearer and the width of the
hat made very effective combination for
shutting off the view of at least one per-
son who occupied an orchestra chair in
row G, near the center aisle. This partic-
ular offender was not from the rural dis
tricts. She was a fashionably dressed
Washington girl, and knew better, but
didn't care. 1t was very gratifying to see
number OF ladies who entered the theater
wearing big hats remove them before they
were comfortably settled in their seats.
They were inwardly blessed by all who sat
near them ".
