Show 2 ' Vamal ExpreSSfldvertisef .Wednesday, March 19, 1986 - Easter Greetings Mad Hatter gets a little heady "Hats have been around for ever," said antique hat collector Colleen Martin. "They were probably pro-bably first used as practical coverings cover-ings for the head and then became a decorative accessory." Going back to the Garden of Eden, one could well imagine Adam and Eve with their fig leaf hats keeping the sun off their heads. Even the caveman probably pro-bably fixed up a little something to set off his fur breeches like a hunk of bark, an old Saber Tooth tiger skull or the skin of a skunk with the tail left dangling. Hats of various kinds were used for protection until the women noticed that they could set off the eyes, cover messy hair or add mystique to their appearance. It was at this point that the damsels and dames, actresses and senoritas, proper ladies or ladies of the night put on their hats for what ever reason. In some religious beliefs it is necessary to cover heads in the House of God. This lead to many kinds of scarves, veils and hats. Turbans are wrapped around heads while fancy baskets of flowers, straw, felt and bamboo hats sit atop others. There was a time when no well dressed woman was without a hat. It became a fashion necessity in London, Paris, large American cities and all fashion conscious countries. Men too had their share of the hats. Cowboys, baseball players, evening, construction workers and twenty one dealers all had useful hats whose designs were copied by the public sector. The tall top hats, derbys and bowlers all had their day and the tam-o-shanter or tarn has never gone out of style in Scotland, Paris or on the golf course. Hats have been used to give identity. iden-tity. Think of Pilgims, the Shrincrs, Santa Claus, wicked wit-chs, wit-chs, brownie scouts, soldiers, sailors, policemen, firemen, and airplane pilots. In the late IBoo s hats were an Intricate In-tricate part of any wardrobe. In the October 1896 Issue of Godcy'a magaxinc It stated, "Oceans of plumes will be greatly worn. Cream kit hau with trimming of the same color are stylish for evening even-ing wear. Dainty capotes of bright-hued bright-hued velvet studded with gemi or embroidered in gotd ar the proper thing for the theatrr."
