LONDON NOT USING
HAIR PUFFS NOW

And hats-well some are as big around
as an outdoors and others are of most
modest dimensions. Paris hats are &c
centric, but generally thrillingly be-
coming TO almost any woman under
.forty-some." The toques. however,
have the call for general wear.
Toques Are Swagger.
Out at Goodwood-you know the
GoOdwoOd races are the real ladies
races in England-almost every Lady
So-and-SO wore a toQue. Mostly the
toques were of beaver and generally
they were black. though taupe and
grays were in evidence AS for trim
ming. a great nodding plume was a
sure sign OF a RebOux turban.
Sometimes a great, waXy. white gar
denia held on the furry surface a
'cockade' effect in aigrettes. Ospreys
and bird OF paradise piumes scared
nightly from others. However, the
one dominant note of the day Is the
absolute independence of the women.
Somehow or other one may stand and
watch a mOdiSh aSSemDlaEe of several
hundred and never once detect two
hats or toques identiCalIy the same.
We no more dress as punches of
women, but as individuals, and "a good

I forgot to say that the toques are
much smaller. and that they are not
round but rather "5Oat-shaped, that
is, longer from the center of the fore
head to the nape of the neck, and, by
the way, they cover just so much Of
the head Also, they are high rather
than fat. and, worn by almost any
fairly eood-Ioozing woman who carries
her head well, they are stunning
