Back to the "Sixties" :-: By Nell Brinkley , IF the sweet little ghost of my grandmother youth should rustle into a little chapeau shop in this springtime of nine-teen-thirteen she would raise her little mitted hands to iheaven in amaze for "behind the glass cases she would find the very cocked! hats and the same wee bonnets that she fitted over her black curls, in eighteen-sixty-eight! Oh, have you noticed them well th e ' ( blt-lid!dies ' like little wedding cakes, tiny bowler crowns all pink buds, field daisies, watered ribbon, bro- cade, flutings, with " streamers " " flirtation ribbons," or, as they were called in Paris, "suives rnoi-jeune rnoi-jeune homme," hanging down the back in an old, old fashion long forgot? They are pushed down, too, over one's nose, and tilted up in the Dack. So look to the order of your back hair, oh, Bettys, as you have not had to look since hats jammed down to one's shoulders, alt around, for the last two years, for your grand-dame's hats are here, and tihe nape of your neck is once more a thing of beauty to bo gazed upon.
