The Hoodoo Hat (1912)

Jack calls to take Della to the picnic and receives a shock when he sees the monstrosity of a hat which she is wearing. In vain he pleads with her to wear something else. On the way to the grounds Della's hat frightens passing horses and when the couple joins the picnickers the head-dress is a source of merriment to all except the wearer. Della resolves to part with the hat and throws it into a stream. A fisherman brings it back to her. She buries it in the ground, but a party of excavators discover the hat and return it to the unfortunate owner. Finally Jack effectually destroys the hat and the lovers return home. Tired and disgusted with her day's trials, Della falls asleep and in her dreams the hoodoo headgear still follows her.
