new. and ought to know about such things,
says Lexington is working under a char
ter that IL fifty years behind the times.
BE says that we have missed all benefit OF
legislation for many years, and that we

the theater hat nuisance. One of the
ma ,ers there makes the following COM
m ant on the subject; ''Some women do
nos object to bad form so much as they
do 20 losing an opportunity for display
Jag q % hat at q 10 cent show. Husbands
are psrhaps as much TO blame for this
hIeh hat nuisance as are the wives, for
what husband Is there who 10 not a.
proud OF his wife's new hat as she Is her,
sslfP II the husbands would encourage
their wives to remove their hats upon en-
sering q church, or the theater, perhaps
anti-high hat lsgiaIation would not be
necessary, but as they overlook this nee
essary adjunct of good manners n little
law on the subject would not be amiss."
with bat few exceptions, the ladies who
attend the theater in Lexington show
their good taste and kind consideration
for those who may be seated behind
them, by removing their hats before the
curtain goes up.
