Watch That Hat Milady ... Tip to the ladies: you can tell what mood your gentleman friend is in if you watch the angle at which he is wearing his hat. Psychologists say that if he is wearing his hat pulled down over both ears he is angry, according to the December issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. According to experts, the men hardest on hats are newsmen, doctors, lawyers who give them an awful beating because they are always in a hurry. "The easiest: salesmen, actors, decorators, because they're more meticulous and are always smoothing, patting, creasing and recreating their hats."
