the prey of anxiety bordering on de-

MANY VARIETIES OF HATBAND
History Shows That Particular Orna-
mentation Has Been Worn Since
Long Before Christian Era.

From the descriptions discovered on
the walls of ancient temples it is APP
parent that, as far back as $500 &. c.,
Egyptian women used O. band with
Streamers to fasten their hair, tying
this in bow at the back or side. This
style was retained by many people,
through many centuries, and in the
Fourteenth century it was used as a
''tilet'-merely a straight band with
out streamers, which held the hair
away from the forehead and the eyes.
1t was this filet which gave rise to
the streamered headdresses which
were much in vogue during the reign
of James |, when, one reads, "Endy-
mion Porter wore his wife's diamond
Spain, but it appeared like paste be-
side the gorgeousneSS of the duke of
buckingham, who more the Mirror of
France (the finest diamond in Eng
lanD with a little black feather on
the side Of his hat"
This passion for expensive headgear
passed with the waning of the styles
of bright colors in mems clothing-but
the hatband was retained because of
its decorative quality, and because
men have become accustomed, through
thousands of years, to seeing it worn
in one form or another.
