Hat Trick


RUBY TUESDAY

HAT TRICK!

Seen at the Races and then in the press.
A lady who really knows how to dress.
The raven hair with the scarlet hat;
You don't see contrasts better than that!
The smiling lips and the arching brows,
The matching colour of frock or blouse.
Hats don't suit me; my sort of face
Makes any hat look out of place.
The nose too big, the chin too podgy!
The whole effect is rather dodgy!
But there's, oh, what a show of airs and graces
Among the girls at Newcastle Races!

A hat made all the difference here:

Ah, but what price stye?? You might think that the horses at the races would be the focal point for the spectators. Except the lady wearing the ruby hat is a focal point herself. She has a style all her own...

The only hats I ever wear are knit caps in the cold of winter! I must say I do admire one who can wear such creations!
