Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1913-01-21
Society Notes

"One Of the things that astonishes
me in this progressive city," said one
of the visitors from the Red River
Nalley last night, lis that the ladies'
of Bismarck have not learned to re-
move their hats in church. Almost
everywhere else in this and other
states this custom has come to he the
unwritten rule and it certainly has
added a great deal Of pleasure to the
services. This custom now prevails
generally in the motion picture shows
and, surely, If it adds to the comfort
and pleasure of theater-goers it ought
to be as graciously granted as a boon
to- church-goers."
