Ban on Hats 1,873 Years Old Is Lifted London. St. Paul's has raised a scriptural ban made 1,S73 years ago. Hatless women are now allowed al-lowed to worship In the cathedra; for the first time since it was built. In his epistle to the Corinthians St. Paul decreed that "every woman wom-an that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoured dishon-oured her head." Although no definite ruling has been made on this point, In the future fu-ture Cathedral authorities will not expect women with uncovered heads to leave when services commence. Vergers will not ask hatless women who wish to attend the services to arrange a handkerchief over their heads as they formerly did.
