A hat is a shameless flatterer, calling attention to an escaping curl, a tawny braid, a sprinkling of freckles over a pert nose, directing the eye to what is most unique about a face. Its curves emphasize a shining pair of eyes, a lofty forehead; its deep brim accentuates the pale tint of a cheek, creates an aura of prettiness, suggests a mystery that awakens curiosity in the onlooker.
For when a woman puts on a hat, A transformation often takes place. Self-confidence and self-respect, Show in the lady’s face. She accents her femininity; She stands tall, with shoulders back. Even when her derriere, Is clothed in jeans or slacks.
Breathes a woman with soul so dead that never to herself hath said, “I need another hat to adorn my head.
Few women have ever been able to resist the temptation to try on a hat and discover in the mirror a person they never suspected was there. A hat alters the image we have of ourselves, and the image others see as well. For the hours we wear it, it brings out different dimension in our personality, much as a costume aids an actress in her role.
