Show Almost a riot was precipitated in a Verona the- fllljl ater recently because the ladies refused to obey M the Prefect's order to remove their hats. The Ar- Hlij gonaut says the custom of removing their hats at i& iH a play originated with San Francisco ladies and T ll no other ladies accept the custom with such cheer- j ayifll fulness as do those by the Golden Gate. It con- nllH eludes that the reason the Italian ladies refused iifiB was because they are not pretty enough to appear Iff ! without the adornment of the hat, while San Fran- iHl cisco ladies are so beautiful that all their loveli- wil ness is not brought out until the hat is removed. wl That looks plausible, but a Salt Lake man just ' mjHH from San Francisco says, "At the Bay when the iiii ladies are in full evening costume, it is not much btHI trouble to also take off the hat." , MfflH i & |
