WHY WEAR HATSi
We Cling to n Custom Neither De-
coming Nor Health Giving

NOr tbeuitn living,
Why do both men and women persist
in wearing hats! asks Pearson's Maya
zine. There are three reasons why we
should wear clothes. We may wear them
for the sake of decency, for the sake OF
warmth, or for the sake of display.
None Of these reasons applies to the
wearing of hats. OF course there are
head coverings that are warm, such as
the Icelander's seaskin hood or the fish
erman's toque; but. as a rule, there is no
real warmth in the hat of either sex.
When woman pins a slight structure of
straw and artificial flowers on the top of
her hair, she never for an instant mag
ines that the thing will keep her from
taking cold. The masculine top hat is
certainly warm on hot day, but it is
very far from warm in cold weather.
Neither are hats worn for the purpose
CT display. Doubtless there are times
when women make the hat the occasion
of displaying their fondness for dead
birds. muslin flowers and other beautiful
objects, but this is only when fashion has
decreed that big hats shall be worn At
other times the female hat is so micro
scopically small that it could not be sue
cessfully used for displaying anything.
AS for mems hats. they never display
anything except the atrocious taste
which makes them fashionable. Why.
then. in the name Of all that is sensible.
do men and women wear hats?
As rule, every man and every wo-
man looks better without hat than with
one. This is why we all take off our
hats at the opera or at an evening party.
And yet we cling to custom that has
not word tn be said in its behalf. We
persist in wearing the ugly, useless and
injurious hat. Why do we do it? |
should like to find good Irish echo that
would answer the question at length and
IN a satisfactory way.
