I have taken off my robe; How can I put it on again?
—Song of Solomon

"Hat Day" once was a Friday the 13th tradition at the New York Stock Exchange. Art Cashen explains why it is no more since the crash of 1987.




Warding off banshees these days likely will require a lot more than a bunch of silly hats...
