Show Bobs and Hats. German newspapers are earnestly debating the question ques-tion whelher bob-h.tired women should tip their hats to each other. The public is participating; and there is much interest pro and con. Hat-tipping is the common mode of salutation practiced in public by German men. They tip their hats to each other, as well as to women. Very likely the German women and girls will adopt this custom, as they have adopted so many other masculine practices. And if it ever becomes established, it will probably proba-bly perpetuate bobbed hair; because hats worn over long hair ate pinned, and a pinned hat couldn't be tipped. Rut what we'd like to know particularly is whether the German fraeuleins are going to tip their hats to men. |
