Re: Red Hat society
I used that poem in a paper I wrote in college about feminism and how it's interpreted by different age groups and generations.

Re: Red Hat society
its a get together with only the ladies you go out to dinner, shopping etc. you wear a pink hat /Red hat and youwear a violet shirt and black pants and the people who are 55 and over they wear red. i not really sure what it is this is the first time i joining i will let you know more after i go to it.
It's essentially a social club for women of a certain age (over 55). They get together for teas and similar events. It's similar to the Athena Club and AAUW in many ways.
The red hat and purple outfit is a take-off of the beginning of the poem 'Warning', about getting older....
Warning
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Oh Geez, TOO FUNNY!
I E-mailed my Dad yesterday, saying 'Who ever thought Mom would be joining a Linux Usergroup?'
Dad wrote back 'I Guess I'll have to stop using mandrake, eh?'
