The provided documents don't contain specific information about Ellen White wearing hats on every occasion or her general hat-wearing practices. The documents focus on other aspects of her life and ministry, including her health experiences, her work in Australia, her preaching ministry, and her views on dress reform.
What we do know from the documents is that Ellen White addressed dress reform principles. She wrote about the reform dress movement, stating "We do not wear the style of dress here represented, to be odd,—that we may attract notice" (HR August 1, 1868, par. 1). She emphasized that their dress choices were made from a sense of duty and health principles rather than to follow fashion or attract attention.
Regarding dress reform recommendations, she took a balanced approach: We recommend the reform dress to all. We urge it upon none. When Christian women see the wrongs of the fashionable style, and the benefits of ours, and put it on from a sense of duty, and have the moral courage to wear it anywhere and everywhere, then will they feel at home in it" (HR September 1, 1868, par. 15).
The documents also reveal her active lifestyle - she walked considerable distances, traveled extensively, and spoke regularly in churches and public halls. One account mentions her walking one mile and back three times a dayduring a particular trip (
4MR 38). However, none of these accounts specifically mention her hat-wearing habits.
To find information about Ellen White's specific practices regarding hats or head coverings, you would need to search her writings or biographical materials that specifically address her personal dress customs and daily attire.
