I want a hat
with a feather

But they didn't. They pursed up their lips, looked. me over and sald, "Well, why don't you have a hat with a feather in it?" and then I told then why.
The reason why is 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- ing for hats with feathers in them,

The miner was breaking her heart because she had to mark it down almost to half-prize. 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 stand waiting for a woman of leisure to come along and buy it.
B
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- zobe, a constant source of discon- tent to the owner.
Men laugh at the hats with fea- thers in them 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.

street bebind such a hat. It had a 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 hats 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."
A married man who was stand- ing beside us chipped in.

In the fashionable parts of the town you will see women with tricky little hats the ale of a powder puff tled on their upswept hair with a whiff of fine veiling 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.

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 uut of fashion, and, because of that, hundreds of hats to suit the style were being sold at bargain 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 nive 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 gardën 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 plcture appeared in the puper I worked on they showed me the page and said, "Who is she like?'
"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 hand 10 meet me.
She mistook me for the countess. You sce
That what I mean? couldn't happen now.
When the countess did turn up at the party her bat was some- thing like mine. and her summer frock looked much the same, only
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 Douglas Walters does 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 beat? It won't be nice to play at being a fashionable Indy--only on Bundnys
but that is one way out.
Of course, we girls could put our heads together and kill the fashion, but that wouldn't be play- ing the game.
What I object is that some- where hidden in this fashion busi- ness lurks 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.
