War on Long Hatpins.

Budapest.—First among European cities, the Hungarian capital has followed the example of America in waging war against women’s dangerous hatpins. After consulting the leading modistes and fashion writers the police have issued an edict ordering that the points of all hat pins longer than the diameter of the crown of the hat, must be protected by a screw cap. Notices have been put up at all theaters, concert halls, girls’ schools and places frequented by women. The penalty for the first offense is S2O and the confiscation of the pin.
