WOMEN AND THEIR HATS.
Discovery Of the Charm Tint Results
from simplicity in Ifend Dress.
lEropn the Iartfatd Post


from simplicity in Head Dress.
(From the Hartford Post)
Women have discovered that they can
go without hats" For q year or two
now this has been quite noticeable. AS a
matter of fact II iasvt such a discovery"
as they think It is. for the earliest woman
of whom we have authentic records didn't
cover her head, at least when nut around
in the garden. But such has been the va
riety and the aggregation of uglincss In
headgear since the days of Eve that we
don't blame the women of this century
FOR revealing in all the joy of a discovery.
The trouble Is they are not carrying
their discovery far enough Dame Fash
ion still has a soft spot in hcr heart for
tho milliners. And the miilincrs. If we
should look back through the newspapers
to the time of Camhyscs we should sec
reflections in print Of the popular scnti-
ment as to millinery. That retrospect,
we may remark in passing. furnishes a
fairer way to judge of the merit Of the
newspaper criticism. At the time Of the
criticism here and there "A person may
think the editor was biased and mis- opin-
ion warped. This here-and there person
may have seen a millinery creation ",uSt
too lovely for anything the moment be-
fore she read the broadly applicable para
graph But let any one look over the
i"Siiiol t'S-tHF accepted STANDARDS
and ideals of the passing hour-bcg inning,
say. only to the Queen of Sheba. Look
at them till your eyes burn and your
brain reels. 1t won't take YOU over three
minutes to arrive at that condition We II
warrant. Then having looked, would you
say that the contemporary newspaper
criticism was too severe? Was it anN-
where near severe enough?
There are women who simply have got
to have a frame for their faces and t.crc
ar" seasons and occasions. in a New Eng
| Ind climate. where women should lot
| trust wholly to the protection of their
coifurcs. II was the modern frame of
rolling hair which helped on the hatloss
| discovery, no doubt, as tho pretty little
curls on our school boys forehead helped
| the popularity of the back Of the Il
Caplet The discovery which it remains
| for women to make is the falldcv OF the
millinery arguments. So many faces. 50
| many frames. The millner cannot he
| held accountable for this The Individual
woman is 10 blame. If, after She has
| bought n hat, She goes out on the street
and sces another at all like it in design
the millner has to take the penalty
| So thu discovery which one iay is DOS
| lively to cxalt women is much better than
tho discovery of how some may 20
hatloss whom all can't. 1t is the discov-
cry of that simplicity in head dressing
