The style of a hat depends more on the way it is worn than on any innate charm of its own. The belief that there is no hat, either good or bad, but the wearing makes it so is not unfounded on fact.

Being by nature extremely observing, 1 am never bored when riding in a motor or in a train. My favourite pastime, which affords me endless diversion, is to study the various angles at which men and women wear their hats. only four in every hundred who wear_ them as they should be worn. What excuse is there for the young woman who wears an ordinary hat over her nose and then wears a tiny helmet-shaped hat on the back of her head, when its very smartness depends on its beng tilted over the eyes? And again, what excuse is there for those large wings which spread out from the sides of turbans in such top-heavy fashion?
