[Age of Reason]

I remember girls forgetting their hats and fastening pieces of tissue to their heads with bobbi pins.

I remember that, too. I remember my mom and my aunts using a handkerchief folded into a square pinned to the top of their head.

Back in those days it was required that a woman wear a head covering when in a church.

I remember the nun in school letting you use a lacy round thing to put on your head with a bobby pin, if you didn't have one for the usual First Friday mass at school....the nun would also have extra ties for the boys....

but what I love is the constant bashing of what women do or don't do....

men used to fill the ranks of ushers,Knights of Columbus, the choir, etc...

men used to wear suits and ties to church...

men used to actually go to church...

but no, the important thing is women not wearing a hat....*sigh*
