HAT EXCITEMENTS IN PARIS.
The Apaches Have Usurped the Beret G.
the Students.

Paris seems unable to avoid getting
excited about its headgear. Not long ago
it was all wrought up over the matinee
hat The easiest way of starting any
two Parisians on heated argument was
to raise the question of a woman's right
to wear obstructive headgear in a place
of public entertainment.
Then came the chantecler chapeau,
which set all Paris talking. gesticulating
and caricaturIng even when its spirits
were a little dampened by the floods
and now. says the Lady's Pictorial. there
is another hat excitement in progress
cap which is. so to say. the very hall
mark of the French student. The stu
dents are indignant. Paris is all at once
interested in the beret, which has com
p,etely outdone the chantecler hat as
topic OF converse ton.
