SAN Francisco has solved the
problem of getting rid of high hats
in theatres. When woman enters
a theatre wearing a high hat an
usher is sent to her with a printed
card on a salver, politely requesting
her to remove her hat. If the hat
be not removed after a decent inter
val another usher brings her another
card on another salver, requesting
her to remove her hat. If this be
not etfectual, still another usher
with another card and another salver
appears, to be followed by more ush-
ers, more salvers and more cards.
But this is rarely necessary. 1t has
been found that respectable women
fear nothing so much as conspicuity.
