WHEN HATS CAME INTO USE
Hats are said to have been used about tho yeaf - 1400, at which time they became of use for country wear, riding, etc. Father Daniel relates that when Charles 11. made his public entry into Rouen, in 1449, he had on a hat lined with velvet, and surmounted with a plume or tuft of feathers. It is said that it was during this monarch’s reign that bats became the vogue, taking tho place of tho chaperons and h’oods which had been tlio fashion previously. In process of time from the laity, the clergy also took this part of the habit; but it was looked upon as a great abuse and several regulations were published forbidding any priest or religious person to appear abroad in a hat without coronets, and enjoining them to "keep the use of the chaperons made of black doth with decent coronets.”
