COULD NOT WEAR THE HAT.
French Actress Victim CT London Res

Some OF the French ladies do not

dress. There is one little French
actress now playing in London who, as
one Of her first experiences in the
British capital, was taken out to sup
per, and, TO do honor to the occasion,
put on her largest and most gorgeous
hat. Her escort looked at 1t doubt
fully, but hoped for the best. She
was stopped at the sacred portals Of a
restaurant, and was asked to remove
her hat.
What this means TO a lady only
those can tell who have been to matt
nees and have seen the display OF
temper when a whole row Of ladies in
the stalls have been told that the peo-
pie behind can not see the stage. The
little actress made a gallant attempt
to be allowed to retain her headgear.
She announced TO the polite gentle
man at the door that she was Mo
hammedan, and offered to take of her
shoes If only she were allowed to re-
tain her hat. The mighty hat, how
ever, had to be removed.
