“My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody.They were programmed to do that,”said Emily Cornette,head of a chapter of the 7-year—old Red Hat Society.

“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,”Cooper said,“Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.”This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful.“We’re a ladies’play group.It couldn’t be more simple”,added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood.
