# "Lucy's Hat" - Judge Magazine Illustration This page features an illustration and poem by F. Gregory Hartswick about a woman named Lucy and her Easter hat. The image shows a stylized female head with an elaborate hat topped with cherubs/putti and radiating lines suggesting spiritual or whimsical significance. The poem is a lighthearted romantic piece where the speaker claims indifference to fashion details (fur, lace, hat style, or color) because Lucy herself captivates him completely. His eyes rest on her face, not her accessories. This represents typical early 20th-century Judge content: witty, illustration-driven humor about courtship and fashion. The piece gently mocks both elaborate millinery fashion and romantic sentimentality through its exaggerated visual presentation and the speaker's affected devotion.
