OF the Norman women was an unpreton-
tious head covering, little likely to divert
attention from the Joy OF she festival day
itself. They had not then learned to come
into their own. but were slaves Of their
feudal lords instead OF sovereigns They
carried their heads In the posture OF
humility and covered them with the meek
est OF hats and the most unobtrusiye OF
bonnets. But down through the centuries
woman gradually learned TO raise her
head and adorn It: the natural and the
supernatural both shared in the emhel-
liShment and the headgear grew In grace
and size aud expanded In glory with the
Importance of the wearer.
The early Henry of England who went
TO France for his wife was responsible In
his extravagauce for the fashionable en-
centricities OF many Easter bonnets. The
horned dilemma emlgrated from Paris
with Queen Katharine, and the spring
promenades during the years OF her graz
cious supremacy were unpleasantly sug-
gestlve OF Mephstopheles. Tho great pads
of false hair, juttlng out from both sides
OF the forehead. were ridiculed in vain
by poets and eoclesastics. Woman wllled
the fashion and woman's way prevailed,
until her own capricious fancy planned a
change.
During the last days or the house or
York hearts were trumps at Easter. The
fashionable milliners designed everything
wearable in the rounded curves of the
amatory symbol, and the eoquetish head
gear was attractive and becoming. The
hats were usually composed OF black silk
or velvet ornamented with BOLD studs,
and from the center hung glitterlng PEN
dant adorned with jewels. which was sus-
pended over the wearer's forehead.
Then the steeple headdress came into
aristoeratic vogue aud Easter became n
sort OF architectural festival, with tur-
rets and gothic spires moving about with
faculty OF action denied their cathedral
models They lowered on high for half
yard or more, and from the pointed tip
hung banner OF muslin, swaying defiant

Such n steeple Katharine wore return

her turrets nearer to the sky" in that in
stance unfortunately could not be followed,
for snucy Kate's journey homeward was
accomplished on the shoulder OF her mas
terful husband and the gossamer veil
trhied ANONYMOUSLY IN the dust.
With the accession OF the seventh Henry
TO the throne guarded by the lion came In
the Easter fancy for square or hooded
hats, which turned the wearers into nuns.
