THOSE HATS!
TO THE EDITOR. Sir— Time, 7.30 p.m.', Sunday, 27th November, 1904. Locality, a well-known city church. Occupation, attempting to listen to what is, I believe, a powerful sermon which is 'being delivered by a. popular preacher. Am forced to abandon efforts — have discovered that the human neck can stand only a certain amount of violent exercise. Exercise caused by trying to get* occasional glimpse of preacher. Given jt up. Ladies' hats too large — 'much too lai'ge. Trust drapers or milliners don't charge more than Is per square yard for the marquees now in fashion. If they do, my engagement off— couldn't afford marriage. Beckon.
there is some sense in Shops Act. Assistants must gef mighty tired handling ' crowbars and screw-jacks required to sbift those hats about. No objection to tKe ladies weaving them in the streets ; can always climb a hill or a steeple to get a view. Church another thing altogether. Suggest the authorities erect poles with seats on top for men, as, of course, ladies cannot be expectd to consider such a poor ambition as desire to follow a sermon. — I am, etc., ONLY A MAN. Wellington, 29th .November, 1904.
