That's a fair question, which we have never heard answered. So we'll answer it. Women's hats cost more because it costs more to sell them. The actual cost of women's hats averages only about half that of men's hats?but any clerk who has over tried tv sell a hat to a woman knows what a big job it is. A man gooa ittfo a store and buys a hat when hc^ has to have one, and ho sticks to it till it's worn out. It usually takes him about live minutes to make a choice and the clerk can then go ahead and sell to other customers. 4 Hut what a difference there is when a woman decides she wants a new hat! Next bo a wedding or the birth of a now bo$ baby, the picking of a feminine headpiece seoms to b? about the most advanced problem there is in the mathematics of feminology. A woman generally shops around for several weeks before she decides on a hat. She goes into every store and I tries on every hat. She views hersivlf in triple mirrors which reveal how she will look in it from each side as well as back and front... She has admired a certain hat that some movie actress wore, and she trifcs to vision whether she can't find just such a head covering. If necessary she will fix her hair differently in order to fit the hat. No matter how becoming a hat may be, a woman Will not wear it unless "they" are wearing that style. On the other hand if too many other women are wearing such hats, a woman will pass up that kind. It is indeed a strange psychology that governs a woman's choice of a hat*?and of course this runs into money. It is all something which no masculine mind can understand. It is plain that women do not choose their hats to please the men; in general they pick them to please themselves and also to impress other women. After the woman he#self has found a hat she is satisfied with she tells the clerk , to keep it until she comes b&ck for it. She comes back several "times during the following week? bringing firs>t her best girl friend.. n?xt her mo9t critical woman neighbor and lastly some relative whose ,teste.has to be catered to. She never t/ritigs her husband; the only time ne gets into the picture is when or if he has to pay the bill. It doesn't t#ke a professor In economies to tell why women's hats cost so much. A woman's hat may ty} only a little piece of felt crushed arid crimpled into a pancake effyct and worth about l&*?ehtsr?A?tt>ify cost?but the selling price has got to be high. As soon as a Woman's hat is out of style it loses all value, in | feminine eyes. The merchants then j have to put such hats OiV'the bargain table and take a loss dn them. It's I ' \ > \v the high selling cost and also the in- ; cidontal losses nil along the line that makes wgmen'a hat a high in a financial sense even though they may be very low in other whys. Like wars, depressions and human cussedness, there is probably no remedy for this. ?The Pathfinder. Miss McCaskill Honored Miss Elizabeth McCaskill, brideelect of March 31, was the honor guest at a miscellaneous shower and bridge party which Mrs. Eugene Culvern gave Tuesday evening. Invited to play were a dozen close friends of the honor guest. Top scbre prize in j the bridge games was awarded Miss ! Laura Moscley. The hostess served J a salad course with Russian tea.
