MEMS HATS IN CHURCH.
Their Care Troublesome Question
 Awaiting Solution.

Their Care a Troublesome Question
 Awaiting Solution.
 It is a matter of historical record that our forefathers in the seventeenth century wore their headgear at divine service and also at dinner, but it has remained for an English newspaper to testify that in its opinion gentlemen sometimes refrain from going to church because of their hats.
 A daily paper has recently suggested that the very irregular attendance of upper class males at church may de due to the respect with which they re- gard their headgear and the inade- quate accommodation provided in sa- cred edifices for the safe bestowal of the cherished topper"
 They quote Picadilly natter as say ing: "I receive more hats to block on Monday morning than on any other day of the week, and judging from the observations hear should say that the owners benefit very little by going to church. If they place their hats un- der the seats they are kicked by the occupants of the pews behind, ladies being almost as careless as mischievous boys in this respect. The if they de , posit the hats on the seats some one probably the owner himself--is sure to sit upon them. Why can't every West End church have a cloak-room where gentlemen can leave their hats? This suggestion has often been made. A small sum could be charged and devo- ted, let us say, to the clothing of the heather in West Africa"
 A West End vicar who was asked if this difficulty explained why men did not go to church gave an unsympathet- ic answer. "I cannot conceive" he said "even in these artificial and fin- nicklng days, of man who would avoid going to church out of considera- ton for his hat. At regular intervals male members of my congregation complain to me about this matter, and I Invariably tell them to wear caps"
 A verger at a neighboring church who offered as remedy the sugges- tinn that men should wear opera hats, told the amusing story of an experi-
