I want a hat
with a feather
FELT like a small girl with a shy anger in her mouth when I told the people here that I wanted a hat with a feather.
Between you and me 1 thought they would laugh at me and say, "Go on, don't be silly."
But they didn't. They pursed up their lips, looked me over and said, "Well, why don't you have a bat with a feather in it?" and then I told them why.
The reason why la a sad story. I don't want to bore you, but you ought to hear this story because lots of women I know are all sigh- lag for hats with feathers in them.
They could buy such bat, of course! So could i I saw one the other day.
The milliner was breaking her heart because she had to mark it down 'almost to half-price, She tried to sell it to me, and I tried it on and could have cried because when I came out of the shop the hat was still sitting on the standi waiting for a woman of lekure to come along and buy it.
Be
UT I didn't buy the hat because what's the use of having a lovely hat if you know it will never be worn, but Just languish in the bag in a ward- robe, a constant source of discon- tent to the owner.
Men laugh at the hats with Lea- thers in thein that some women are wearing, A friend looked shocked when I mentioned such a thing.
"Have a cup of coffee and forget it," he urged me, looking quite up- set. "Don't ever buy that kind of hat because if you do something is liable to happen to it.

toll a dish washer from a Duchess. They wore the same style of hat, the same length of skirt, the sama cut of coat, but somebody has gone and changed all that. Take a walk along a fashionable street in Birming-
street behind such a hnt. It had a Glasgow, Manchester. long, thin feather about three foot, long trailing down the back and I had a wicked thought.
"I thought to myself that if some crazy fool started slashing hals with such feathers in them I would be able to understand why he did it. I have never wanted to slash a hat in my life, but I would have enjoyed wrecking that one."

Y can't I have a hat with a feather in it, see-, ing that I want one and they are being sold at a price I can afford to pay? It's simple.
I can't have the hat I want be- cause I couldn't wear it to work. I'm talking for thousands of other women now. We are all feeling annoyed because for the first time in twenty years the fashion dieta- tors have put us in our places.

COW,you can tell the girl who is rushing to the office, the girl who works In a shop, the one who walts in a tea-room. the reporter and the dressmaker.
We all wear hats that sit tight on the head and keep our hair in place.
In the fashionable parts of the town you will see women with tricky tle hats the size of a powder puff tied on their upswept hair with a whiff of fine velling or decorated on top with a jaunty feather.
They don't have to worry about getting knocked about in the bus and Tube scramble.
They don't have to worry about a shine on their nose-nose shine looks comic under one of the fancy new hats and they don't have to worry about the state of their colf- fure.
But girls rushing to work do have to worry, so they can't wear the
hats new-but-oh-so-pretty that make a woman look coy and pretty in the Edwardian manner.

OMEONE said once that we only pass this way once, so we should not miss an opportunity of doing good. Isn't it equally true that we should make the most of every opportunity for happiness, every chance to gain useful experience, for how do we know whether any of them will come again?
Only improvident people are n tirely unheedful of the future, but how often we lose the favour of present happiness because we are thinking too much of what may come another day. We are going to do things "when we come next time." but there may not be a next time.
We meet someone interesting, per- haps from a foreign country, but we are thinking of something which hap pened the kitchen this morning, or of something we are going to do to morrow morning.

Mrs. Robert L. Ste-
vens, centre, appears at the Metropolitan Opera
premiere in a gorgeous
ermine wrap over her
white crepe gown.
Perhaps she is right-?
One of our news editors came to me the other day and asked me to write a story, saying that the Ed- wardian style of hair was going out of fashion, and, because of that, hundreds of hats to suit the style were being sold at bargala prices.
He had the wrong end of the story. The right story is the one I have just told you,
I've seen girls walking arm-in- arm on a Saturday afternoon sigh- ing wistfully about the silly hats I'm talking about and wishing they were more suitable for wearing to work.
Nobody is to blame, of course.
Y
TES, it was nice of the fashion experts to think up a really delicate and dainty style for once. But it's hard luck that thousands of girls can't take advantage of the fact.
Ten years ago I went to a garden party in the North of England. A snobbish woman was giving the party and a certain countess was expected.
The countess was a newlywed. She had come North with her bridegroom and this was to be her first meeting with the local folks, When her picture appeared in the paper I worked on they showed me the page and said, "Who is she 11297"
"She's like me." I said.
Well, I turned up at this garden party in my working clothes to get a report of who was there, and so on, and the hostess, all smiles and pleasant greetings, rushed for- ward with outstretched band to meet me.
She mistook me for the countess. You see what I mean? That couldn't happen now.
When the countess did turn ap at the party her hat was some- thing like mine. and her summer frock looked much the same, only I had imitation pearls round my throat and hers were real. Don't think we all want to look like countesses. That's not the iden at all. But we do want to be allowed to stay in fashion with the others.
I never thought it would happen here I never thought that fashion could give the women who support It such unfair treatment.
STILL want a hat with a feather in it—even if does Douglas Walters threaten it with a knife-but I just can't see how to get round the problem of wearing it on weekdays. Maybe we shall be forced to go back to dressing-up for Sundays. Do you remember the old days when we all had Sunday best? It won't be nice to play it being a fashionable lady-only on Sundays -but that is one way out.
Of course, we giris could put our heads together and kill the fashion, but that wouldn't be play ing the game.
What I object to is that some. where hidden in this fashion busi- ness turks a symptom of the times -what it is I leave you to work out. I think Mr. Hitler and his gentle- man friend, Mr. Mussolini," might know what I mean.
