THE MODERN HAT.
Its Serious Defects From the Hygienic
Point Of View.

Its Serious Defects From the Hygienic
Point Of View.
The size, the style and incidentally
the cost of women'S hats, says writer
in the Berliner Umschau, have taken
up so much of the time of the people
who make hats a study that they have
not had a moment to devote to the
head covering of the sterner sex. Con-
sidered from the hygienic point of
view, little fault can be found with the
hats Of our sisters, although some of
them, when viewed through the glass
Of reason, are unthinkable. But mems
hats are faulty from the physicians
point of view. and a wider knowledge
of the defects of the modern hat would
add to the already large army Of bare
headed men. In order to demonstrate
which hats should be avoided per-
fectly healthy man was placed where
the rays Of the sun could strike him di-
rectly. He wore while taking the sun
bath various kinds of hats for a period
of fifteen minutes each. Every hat con
tanned In the crown a thermometer,
and these recorded as follows: The one
in the panama hat II degrees, the straw
sailor 81, the silk hat 80, the felt hat
95 and the black hat and yachting cap
30 and 100 degrees respectively.
