This past Christmas 1 received a floppy blue
knitted wool hat that 1 instantly fell in love with
The result is that it rarely leaves my head but is
constantly jammed on to keep the cold winter air
off my ears
The only problem with that is that it is one of
those hats that people can’t seem to refuse
commenting on Everybody notices the new ad
dition to my head, checks it critically, and an
nounces their judgement
Oh, I get the usual comments of "Where'd you
get that silly thing" to ‘‘l like your hat” but it seems
most people come up with something more
original 1 have had to put up with such cracks as
“What’s the matter, your brains freeze 7 ” to “Does
your mother know you’re outside with that thing
on your head 7 ” The worst of it is, that after I put
my woolie blue headgear on, I promptly forget it’s
up there, so when 1 get these comments, it usually
takes me a few minutes to figure out what they’re
talking about
I’ve always been a pushover for hats and I have
a collection of them at home that ranges to my
good old cowboy hat to a wide lacy bonnet I once
wore in a wedding and am hoping someday I will
have the opportunity to wear again I have a suede
floppy hat I wear to go hiking, a scarf I wear when
working m the fields, a ski cap for swooshing down
the icy slopes (usually I “schplatch” more than
“swoosh” down the ski trails), a feed company cap
1 wear when I want to feel like a professional
farmer, a beret I picked up in Ireland and an odd
assortment of other headgear that fills the
moments when I feel the urge to wear a cap
1 feel cheated that caps and hats aren’t more
popular and if I wasn't the self-conscious type I'd
probably always be sporting one. I always notice
people wearing them, and I have to admire all the
ones I see in stores.
But right now, it’s my blue woohe’s turn to ride
high on my head, and there it usually stays until I
remember to take it off So if you see a girl in a
restaurant, or at a meeting, or even wearing a full
length evening gown, with her fuzzy blue hat on,
please come over, tap me on the shoulder, and tell
me it’s time to take it off Otherwise it would
probably be there till Spring arrives
