tiful. She doesn't think women were
made, like the flowers of the conservatory,
to be beautiful. and to be gazed on for
their beauty. Perhaps she works. Maybe
she reads like man. Anyway she says
she's no butterfly, and no wax doll. and
while she thinks the pattern hats are
pretty things. you couldn't hire her to
carry one around on her head.
So, you see her opinion isn't worth hav-
ing.
She has no sympathy for the down-trod-
den ostrich, and no feeling for the pow
erty- stricken silkworm. She has even
been suspected of an idea that women
could do without hats and men without
cloves. Pass her by.
Brave indeed is the manager to face the
prospect of souls lost through envy; oi
the hatred of women; Of the sorrows oi
birds and worms; of the care of priceless
headgear, and the lasting enmity of the
whole race of milliners.
In yielding thus in one instance the
feminine portion of the community has
done for itself. 1t will soon be restricted
TO one seat per head in car and one-half
the sidewalk. 1t will be expected to know
what it wants in a store and to get off a
car face forward. The only revenge pos
sible is to contract the habit of going out
for Glove and stepping on as many toes
as possible. GRACE ALLEN.

haunt his dreams, unless we can put the
blame on the next President. A whole
multitude must be thrown out of work
and the ostrich must become extinct so
that some baldheaded man may see the
chorus girls dance.
A pretty young milliner on Market
street just laughs and goes on piling
plumes on drum major bat. She says
the theaters can't do thing but grumble,
and women will wear what they please.
ALI the hats are large this season, she
says, and she hands out great masses of
velvet and ribbons and feathers and puts
on hat after hat to show how a large one
sets off a round face. She is picture in
frame of deep velvet with feathers curling
all round. The plumes curl like Medusa
snakes as she mods emphatically and tells
how few women are charming In small
hats. There is nothing, she insists, more
magical than big hat and no place where
it is so effective as in the soft light of a
theater. She says "Oh, pshawP when
told what the other milliner feared, and
she will not pity the ostriches at all, be,
cause women will never be silly enough to
put their heads in the sand or their lights
under busheI.
An effort was made the other day to
find a compromise hat, which might
be pretty and yet allow some of
the landscape to appear around the
corners. 1t was no easy job. In
fact 1t was given up. If there was
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-11

The new woman has met her Waterloo
and has been conquered again by the ty-
rant man. He used to take off his hat to
her. Now he merely points to it, but he
insists that she shall remove hers out of
respect to him. These be wonderful days,
when women take off their hats to the
gentlemenl
In restaurants there are nice little signs
telling gentlemen to remove their hats.
There are many more which would look
as well. They might request gentlemen
not to put their feet on the table or mildly
S~Svsee them not to pour soup into their
hats. Soon there will be companion mot
toes setting forth that ladies, too, must
doff their bonnets. Why, yes, don't you
know, the theaters send round pleasant
little hints now. The fat has gone forth
and the big picture-hot is doomed.
That is in theory. Pretty things die
hard. And this hat question gets quite
complicated when you unfold it and
spread if out. We will admit it is case
OF seltishness on both sides. The manager
needn't try to pose as philanthropist, for
the ladies won't let him. They remember
how he smiled at skyscrapers and thought
them lovely until inconsiderate people be-
gan to bother him, just because they
couldn't see. The idea! Some folks never
are satisfied Why don't all those people
who can't see over the hats take front
seats? Do they want the ladies to look
less lovely to obllge them9 Some women,
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-11

who are decidedly plain bareheaded, be-
come beauties in the shade of black
velvet hat, with mass of quivering
plumes. Are they to lose the opportunity
10 look charming simply because some
man wants to see the stage? Let him go
to the balcony, or to the gallery, If need be-.
The manager declares it is clear case
of selfishness and vanity on the ladies'
part. They want to look pretty and to
wear hats which show how much they
cost, and they don't care' who is trou-
bled by them. Of course not.
The milliners have various ideas on the
subject. There is one on Kearny street
who fears the big hat is doomed in San
Francisco, because if the theaters taboo
them there will be no place to wear them.
The wind prevents them from being very
popular for street wear. She says the
effect will be felt clear down on the os-
trich farms, where the birds will wear
their tails (have ostriches tails? at half
mast, in mourning for their lost glory.
Does the manager realize the breadth of
his path of destruction?
Will he wantonlv wound the tender
feelings OF those noble birds and drive
them to diet of hatpins and death? If
the wide brims are to go where can the
feathers be piled on? And if there is to be
no place for plumes how are we to soothe
the pride of the ostrich? Alas, the cruelty
of mani Then there will be the sighs and
groans Of the ribbon and flower makers to

When she takes off her $50 hat, what are
you going to do with it, MIR. Manager? Is
she to stuff it unuer the chair? 1t will

under the chair herself and give the seat

her heart is the hat with the feathers.

not be crushed. You have a heavy re-
spons;bility there. Think of 600 hats,
each covering an area of three square
feet. You must build hatroom and
check the things. Nor is that all. These
600 women are not going to elbow and
crowd and wait to claim their head gear.
You must provide dainty maidens-many
of them--to pass the hats during the last

to no other person.

that some people may see what they have
paid to see. but you'll have the conscious
ness of victory and you'll be happy, per-
haps, in spite of all the sorrowful birds
and the disconsolate silkworms you have
thrown out of job.
There's one woman who doesn't care
whether styles change or not, and to
whom the managers wishes are but wind.
She is the tailor-made girl, who wears a
round hat over smooth. shining, parted
hair which never seems mussed. She
goes to the theater to see the play. and
she never notices whether or not there are
ewes on her hat. If said hat bothers a
man he has only to say SO, and the hat is
under the chair. She's a queer girl.
She thinks all of us go there
to watch the stage. When the
wrongs of the sex are laid before her she
opens her eyes and says-she's horribly
blunt: "Well, one woman pays for one
seat, doesn't she? She has no right to a
whole row." 1t is explained to this i'm

Velvet to Be Used Extensively as Trimming

Velvet is to be used extensively as a
trimming on many fine lady's cloths; for
instance, one of dahIia cloth with velvet
to match has been much admired, and
quite charming was a gown lately seen in
New York "built of warm chestnut-brown
cloths, evenly checked with black The
skirt, new model, had much less fiaring
appearance, and when worn hung quite
fiat in front and at the sides. On the
seams of the front gore black glossy braid

of ten-cent piece, and widely scattered
apart. The effect was charming. The
front dart seam extended down the skirt
almost to the knee. and had been opened
to introduce white satin band. Purple
silk frogs laid on quite close together
covered this seam. On the lower part of
the side-gore seams were short openings,
underlaid also with white satin, and
trimmed over with frogs of silk cord.
