HATS AS MORALE BUILDERS
During the German occupation of Paris women's hats became members of the resistance movement. They were morale builders, writes Barbara Ellis Brown in the Christian Science Monitor. The French suffered many of the severe deprivations of the British with the added one of practically no fuel. They suffered risks, dangers, and tortures indescribable, which' should never be forgotten. Instead of being able to buckle on their arms and go out and fight the enemy, they had to suffer tlie horrible suppression of apparent inactivity with the Boche right on their doorstep. In such circumstances, one thing was indispensable. That was to bold one's head up. It would never do to let the enemy see one otherwise. Thus the hat came into its patriotic role.
