LAW BANS GAY HATS.
Details have been published (says a Basra message) of the new regulations prescribed by Parliament for a universal style of clothing throughout Persia, which was to bo enforced from March 22, when the'new year opened. All men, except clergy and high judiciary' officials, must adopt the Western style of short jacket and trousers; any form of overcoat may be worn while travelling. Drivers, blacksmiths, and “hunters” may choose their own headgear when at work, but for others —save the exceptions mentioned —the new pahlevi hat will be compulsory. It is a peaked affair made of cardboard with cloth, and a heavy shower causes it to collapse like a fatigued accordeon. rialters are jubilant. The public are warned that their hats must be of a quiet shade; the Persian youth who ventures on headgear of a vivid colour may find himself in a cell.
