Patou's Poke.
There will always be something Of the
coquette in women, no matter how mod
ern or sophisticated they may become.
And the recurrence of the vogue for
poke-shaped hats is an expression of
this very charming side of feminine ma
ture.
They are poke hats, rather than bon
nets-which implies poke of subtle
rather than overemphasized shape. Pa
tou's design (above) is a good example
