THE NEW HAT

A new hat, to a woman, is an experience. The fact that abo seldom has to pay for such perience should not, we think, be allowed to reflect on its "authen- ticity.

As a hardened buyer of the must headache's experience, we admit that the phrase "New Hat" sounds rather lean attractive than a dirge.

But someone has designed new hat for men.

It is troope the "Camber Curl," the moment we cannot tell you which way the "Camber Curl", curls. But you can take it from us that whichever way it curls-clock- wise, port-to-starboard, or vice vorsa-it stays curled. There will be no question of having to get it waved once a fortnight or keeping it in curling papers.

We can see us going down to the office in "Ascot flopples" with eighteen-inch brime, and playing golf in creations that look like table mats pulled down over one eye. We can visualise lac top. pers, boaters with daring little mosquito nets fri front, and Hem- burgs with bunches of cherries round the band. We can do with a few mad hatters.
