CHARLES Il. WORE FIRST HAT
Custom Established Five Hundred
Years Ago Following Victory Of
French n RoueN.

Once in a while we do seem to
come across something which ancient
people did not possess. Hats appar-
emily figure among this number.
For hats, we are told, did not be-
come a well-established custom until
some 500 years ago. In the year
1449, when Charles ii. entered Rou-
en- after its recapture by the French
from the English, the people there
had never before set eyes on a hat.
Their amazement, therefore, can be
pictured as they gaSed upon their
king riding past them in pomp and
on his head gorgeous hat lined
with varicolored silk and gayly be-
decked with huge plumes.
Of course everyone followed his
example. Hats began to make their
appearance in shop windows and
women and men alike labored over
the constructing of elaborate head
pieces, each one attempting to sur
pass his neighbor if possible. But
they were expensive and it was a
long time before they could be worn
except by the prosperous classes.
In the course of time, however,
they became a more commonplace
thing and people of all classes were
able to afford them.
