Show HATS ARE A HABIT. Those Used to Going Without Head Coverlnos Seem Healthy. Somo time ago I spoko of a young Mu ml of ralno who had recently gtvon up wearing a hat on every occasion when his mental condition wns not liable to bo questioned. I scarcely think he has pursued his laudablo purpose pur-pose during tho recent sevoro weathor. But I bellcvo It you tako to this kind of thing early enough you may mako It last throughout your llfo. I know tho other day, going nlong Pall Mall on ono of tho coldest days wo havo had this season, I saw ono of tho smallest bluccoat boys It has over been my fortuna to behold, of courso without a head-covering, but ho did not seem to feel tho cold In tho least Ho was bright and rosy, ho chattered Bayly, ho laughed merrily, ho stopped nnrt looked In nt tho shop winduws, anO. ho sauntered along Blowly as If It woro a summer's day. I mused over this Infinitesimal bluo-coat bluo-coat boy nnd marveled at his Independence Inde-pendence of tho cutting northeast winds nnd biting frost, and I wondered whether colds In tho head wero entirely en-tirely duo to wearing hats. And then I noted thnt ho woro yellow yel-low stockings. Now, possibly, yellow stockings aro an nntldoto to nil hibernal hiber-nal misery, nnd thnt is why my young friend looked bo jovial, whllo all of us around him wero steeped In fur coats and mufllers and misery. I do not, somehow, think that I Bhould look woll In yellow stockings, but I would gladly don n pair If thoy would euro mo of tho ferocious cold from which I am now suffering.
