THE MERRY WIDOW II AT.
The ".Merry Widow" hat is coming
in for ita share of iilteulioii, both on
the street and in the papers. It is eer
tainly one of tho worst mmistrositics
fashion tins afflicted the fair sex with,
und makes one wondei whether llie
wearers nru reully fit mentally for thc
ballot. There is nothing nrtistic, taste
fill or becoming nbout hciidgcar Mint
might delight some dusky belle in dark
est Africa, but doesn't rel'lecl credil
as the crowning tliiilup of fcminiiiily
iu the twentieth century. The New
Vork Wurld in discussing ihis lulesl
freuk of fashion snvs:
"Willi 'Merry Willow" lulls serving
as a screen to hide u church file from
thu congregation, delaying an express
train uutil the wenrer could be exli-i
eateit from the aisle of a I'ullinau enr
and raising u tpiestion of i lesiastieiil
discipline in New Jersey churches, this
millinery monstrosity may be thought
to have reached ils climax of sensation
alism. To what further extremes of
brciidth is it destined In go? It has
already relcgaled the parasol to use
IcHsuesa. Its possibilities as nu aid to
a aeuside tete a tele oa llie sand will
not be lost on the summer gill.
"Tho suilden outbreak of the big
hal is one of the social phenomena of
the year. It is a form of millinery men
slcs ami wilt run its course iiucheckeil.
liilliclile will be loveleil ill il ,-ui.l satire
shot lit it, but the I'll i I Hem its will le
uiuin us blissfully iineoucei-ued as when
they wore crinolines nnd i-liigiuuis. The
eternul feminine is auicnable to but
one ami, mil v. Hho ucliuowledges no
dictulor but fashion. An iiilerstnle mil
linery law would merely a, 1,1 the
ai.o of her lint and a spiv in I message
increusr ils vogue.
"The morality of the 'Merry Widow'
hut is sure to provoke discussion. Its
very name connotes wickedness. In
fact, it is a protective device i n
pussing woman 's head as with defen
aivo armor nod compelling man lo keep
his distance. It is n millinery ehevnux
de f rise which mukes any osnilatoiy
uttuck on the part id' the mule n per
iloua proceeding."
