AsTER BoNNETs OF BYGoNE YEARS
Hat Collection at Smithsonian
includes q 1774 'Co|osh' Model
BY JOHN W. STEPP

Menfolks, who traditionally
get a large laugh out Of milady's
fashions in Easter bonnets. can
find some Retrospective side
splitters at Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
They may have to rummage a
little. but the effort will be worth
1t on this eve Of the 1857 Easter
parade.
Smithsonian keeps its treas
ure Of hat monstrosities appro-
priately in that red. yellow and
blue-brick architectural mon
strosity called the Arts and
Industries Building. fianking the
Mall.
The ladies' lids are not actu-
ally on display. But with very
little coaxing, Mrs. John H. MUIR
ray, assistant curator Of civil
history, will dig them out Of a
backroom.
You may have to fight your
way through a flock of lady en-
ployes to get q look at them,
though. When The Star paid a
visit the other day. the gals were
all over each other trying them
on. They weren't laughing.
either-just ooh-ing and ah-ing.
The specimens. in fact. are re-
markable, no matter how you
look at them.
Back TO l774
The oldest in the collection
dates from 1774. 1t is called a
"calash," from the French "cal-
eche," meaning carriage. Milady
used to wear it for drives. Built
like an accordion. it could be ex-
panded to cover the face when
the dust got too thick or the
sun too bright.
A mid-l9th century number is
topped by about a quart Of arti-
fetal grapes. cherries and berries.
complete with ample lengths of
twigs. 1t was once fashionable,
too. having been created on
Paris celebrated Rue de la Paix.
Another bonnet. dating from
1885 and characteristic Of the
Gay 'Nineties. according to Mrs.
Murray. sports an immense wad
of ribbon bows surmounting
clusters Of violets and a bed Of
ivy that rivals the ivy patch in
front of Smithsonian's own Ma
tural History Building.
StreamerS Of Roses
One that seemed to be the
favorite of the distaf side of
the civil history staff was a
pre-Civil War poke" bonnet
type thing. sporting streamers Of
roses and gold taffeta tie-ribbonS
three feet long.
AS one of the women adjusted
this item on her head amid
shower of mothball crystals,
Mrs. Murray explained the
Easter hat custom in this coun-
try probably dates from the
early 1900s.
Although" she added, II
have no doubt that wearing
finery to usher in the spring
goes back to pagan times. You
know, like dancing around the
first violets of spring. Now We
don't dance around them. we
put them on our heads"
: Mrs. Murray had another point
to establish. She held up a perky
little 1860 bonnet" consisting
of practically nothing at all. 1t
looked familiar.

The Court of Military Appeals
managed to keep from laughing
yesterday about three Marine
Corps prisoners who breezed out
of the Quantico (Va) base with
their guard for a chauffeur.
Were it not for the serious
nature Of the offenses charged"
said Chief Judge Robert E.
Quinn. "the circumstances of this
case would be distinguished for
their comic absurdity.'
The charges were against
Corpl. Cammie Brookman, 25. of
Orange. Va. They included de-
sertion. conspiracy to commit an
escape. the escape itself and
larceny Of a lieutenant's ranch
wagon. Corpl, Brookman was
convicted Of all but conspiracy
and was sentenced to a dis
honorable discharge. forfeiture
Of pay allowances and corporal's
stripes, plus two years in
confinement.
Working Party Sent Out
Judge Quinn recited this story
in his opinion upholding the
verdict:
Brookman. then charged with
a previous desertion. and two
other Quantico prisoners were
sent as a working party TO the
post theater on September Z,
1855. His brig companions were
Pvts. E. B. Severson and d. w,
Schacht.
Guarding the trio was Pvt. T.
E. White.
Severson announced to White
that he had fallen hei, to $64 900
from his grandmother. A girl
friend in Baltimore had the
money. Would White "Ro over
the hill" for $4,000?
White would. In fact. he
probably would go over and
come back and 20 over again" :"
Severson said he and Schacht
were going to undertake an
escape.
White studied" for a minute,
the Judge went on. and then
agreed.
Run Out Of Gas

in neat formation TO a parking
lot. found the ranch wagon with
keys inside. climbed in and. with
