The Tall Hat Reform

Boston aüacked the tall hat nuisanco wilh that stinging sarcasin vrhich her high-toned culture knows so well how to apply. liesult: The Yankee girl disdainfully turned her Plymouth Rick nose skyward and added a mansard to her already tovvering edilice. New York tried it on with her airy tr:v-l:i-la ridicule. Femiuiuty smiled contcmptuously at that waddle, and tosaed lier monumental pile in proudcr d sdain. Washington just appealcd to the kindly inslincts of the fair sex, and simply asked them to come to tlic aid of a lot of poor suflering wretchcs whose miseries they alone could :issaugc. That settled it, our charming womcn pitcher their monstrosities uto tho córner, and proceeded to makc themselves- each in her own tasleful wav - "a thing of beauty and a joy forever." Moral: Never abuse a woman. If yon do she',11 settle nto nn obstinaey íixcd as the stars. Appeal to her kimlness of hoart, and slic'll givo hcr lioad away- tall hat and alL- Washington Capital.
