of some to make sport of the
prevailing fashion of the large

forced to admit that it is rather
large for real beauty but it is not
the first time the dear crea-
lures" have had a very peculiar
styled head dress. Years ago,
all the rage was a scoop shaped
head geer, extending out over
the face some foot or more over
and having a long veil
hang down the back, containing
enough material to make a COW
ering for the body, and yet no
serious objection was urged to
that peculiar fashion.
If the naughty men
could see, way back
in that "scoope shaped" head
dress, a bright pair of eyes and
smiling lips, what did they care
for the style of the hat worn,
and so it is now-it all depends
upon the face beneath the hat,
