Getting the Message. Women, after years of going hatless, are now covering up again. At the moment, the vogue for hats is running strongest in Paris, where the noctambules show up at La Coupole in Montparnasse wearing floppy Garbo-style fedoras, gaucho hats with chin straps, and overgrown newsboy caps...
