Yes!

It's amusing that the guests are still wearing their hats in the house.

They don't need to take off their hats, they're only going to be there long enough to get ~schooled, lol.

A woman properly keeps her hat on when she is visiting, but always removes it in her own home. A man always doffs his hat indoors. This is also why women keep their hats on during church and the national anthem, when a man doing so would be beyond the pale. Rules for men's and women's hats are completely different.

Hat etiquette is so dead! Fun to know though. :)

It's because a man that prayeth with his head covered dishonoreth his head, but a woman who prayeth with her head uncovered dishonereth her head, on account of looking like a prostitute.

Really? Never heard that but I love it. SLUTTY HAIR.

The slutty hair bit is my own addition, based on the general consensus of the historical theology community, but the rest is plain ol' St. Paul.

Yeah; many religions used to -strongly- suggest that women's heads be covered in public. It's sort of an interesting, strange little tidbit to look into.

All the pins and things, and those hats created hat-head! I remember my mother (early 60s) would wear the weird hat pinned to her hair the whole time she was out.
