that there are some women who do

| Not frequently, | would assert; and
seldom spontaneously. And who
knows what may actuate them? They
may have been exasperated by neigh
Dor, or perhaps they find the hat OF
the woman In front of them prettier
! than their own, and they are anxious
to avoid breaking the Tenth Com
mandment? But IL any serious ballot
could be taken, the woman with a
proper appreciation of dress as fine
art would vote to be allowed to wear
hat with costume, and would

From time immemorial man has
been the enemy OF womans
hat He has nursed grudge
against 1t these many dec
pdes. Often reiterated has been
his cry: "Why does my wife want q
new hat?" And he has even been
heard to say: III that hat were good
enough for yesterday, why 1t is not
good enough for today?'
In and out of season he has In
Weighed against the destinations of
millinery. He has laughed at the girl
who presses her nose against the shop
window to stare at Its charms; he has
protested when her hat Is decorated
with flowers, contemporary likening
II to a truck garden; he has cried out
when il Is adorned with feathers, urg'
ing the cruelty OF sacrificing beautiful
birds In the cause OF unbeautiful fash

The dove which puts in its appearance
on a woman's hat is the fate OF the
pigeon which sticks It's feet out Of d

tho custom of the matinee is an OPP
portunity TO belabor the perennial
offender. Man hates not only the mat
inee hat, but all hats, excepting his
own new one OF green felt with q
quill in IT, He seems quite pleased
with that!
