about wearing your hat in elevators
in the presence of women. In pri-
vate elevators 1t is customary to re-
move their hats when ladies' are in tho
elevator with them. though this Gus.
tom Ia by no means universal. In
public elevators the uncovering of the
head in the presence OF women Is not
considered the thing-especially since
the rise Of the "suffraglsts" and tho
appearance OF the 'hobble skirt"
This whole matter Of wearing the hat
In the elevator. whether the elevator
