League Formed BY Men in Paris to
PUT Down Women's High
Headgear.

Paris.-Men of Paris who are ha-
bitual patrons of the theaters have
decided to fight fire with fire in their
crusade against obstructive headgear.
They have formed league which has
for its object nightly attendance en-
masse at some theater, each member
Of the organization wearing cockade
on his tall silk hat and wearing the
hat throughout the performance.
In order to make their object mofe
effective the members of the league
will purchase in advance solid rows
Of seats in front of the house. The
managers of the various theaters have
decided to raise no objection to the
plan, but the women declare they will
not abandon the big hat habit nor
remove their hats, no matter what
kind of "ungentlemanly' tactics are
resorted to by tho men.
One of their pet reasons for not re-
moving their hats is that by so doing
they are nowadays compelled to take
off any quantity Of artificial hair at
tne same time.
