To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One milliner would choose a shape with perpendicular crown, hidden under a mass of ribbon ; another would adopt an enormous funnel-shaped brim, loaded with feathers or flowers. It has been calculated that in the course of two years, from 1784 to 1786, the shapes of hats were changed seventeen times. There were some called hat-caps, " chapeau-bonnets, " because their balloon shape resembled a cap. There were small close shapes in silk, trimmed with feathers and flowers, worn on one side of the h...ead ; and soon afterwards there were very large bonnets " a I'amiral. " We read in the " Journal des Modes de Paris, " 1785: "There is a hat on view at Mdlle. Predin's, milliner, at the sign of the ' Echarpe d'Or ' (Golden Scarf), Rue de la Ferronnerie, on which is represented a ship, with all her rigging complete, and her battery of guns. ... At Mdlle. Quentin's, in the Cite, there are ' pouf ' hats composed of military trophies, the flags and drums arranged on the brim have a charming effect. " Some hats were so enormously large that they overshadowed the whole face like a parasol.
