BEWARE tho HstDfai

At the risk OF being deemed ungal
liant we must be permitted to expostus
late with the ladies Of the perilous
hatpin. It seems that every season
the hatpin is getting longer and sharp
er: One may as we'll use the plural,
for many Of the present day hats are
SO large that several hatpins are used
in keeping them :moored to the hair.
Perhaps in some cases the hat pins also
serve to keep the hair or a consider
able portion thereof anchored to the
head. But that's another story. Suffice
it to say, as the old fashioned writer
would put It. that the heads of some
women Of 1911 on the streets. in cars
and other public places present the
aspect of armored cruisers in NINA
ture. with the sharp gun points stick
ing out at bow, aft and amidships A
woman SO armored becomes a positive
peril when. she gets in a crowd.
Recently In San Francisco a vaude-
vile actor trying to make his way
through a dense theater crowd en-
countered one of these armored cruis-
ers. The woman turned her head sud
denly, One of the long steel points pro-
jecting from her hat passed through
the victims right eyelid, through his
nose and into his left eye. The doc.
tors said he probably would lose his
sight. ''You brute! How dare you
touch my hat?' the woman exclaimed
in great indignation as she felt the tug
on her headgear. Then she was lost
in the crowd.

ness end of the pin? Here's a chance
for an ingenious Inventor. The but
ton should be padded, SO that it will
not leave its imprint But it might be
suggested that the hatpin be eliminat-
ed altogether, to be- replaced by clips
which will hold the hat on land the
hair without being menace to pedes-
trian navigation. Some sort Of reform,
at any rate, is indicated.
