whom am sure has all of the quail
ties could want in a husband?"
1t has always seemed to me high
ly unfortunate that the accepted
authorities on love are novelists and
poets and the movies, which deal
with fancies instead of facts. These
have taught us that We are struck
all Of a heap. as old nurses used to
say, when We first behold our pre-
destined mates; that we palpitate at
the sound of their footsteps; that we
grow hot and cold at their approach: j:
that we thrill with indescribable
bliss at their kisses.
Perhaps love does affect the
highly neurotic in that way, but
there are multitudes of sane, sensi-
BILE men and women, with their feet
on the ground, who never could ex-
perience all of this emotionalism.
Yet they think that because they
cannot do something contrary to
their natures they are not in love.
They don't think that admiration
and respect and congenality and
warm friendship, which is after all
what married love turns into, are
enough to marry you. That accounts
for innumerable old maids and old
bachelors who waited for the mir
acle to happen that couldn't pos
sibly befall them.

member how your grandmother
never appeared without a hair net
holding each strand of hair firmly
IN place? Well, it may surprise you
to know that Lilly Dache, one of the
leading milliners, recently held a
showing of hats and hair nets in New
York. Each smart bonnet had it's
matching net decorated as an i'm
portant part of the design. The
hair net is used as a base, and is
snood-shaped, invisible and cut to
fit the sculptured hairline and en-
case the hair without fattening it.
Each is decorated with beads.
flowers or boWknots, and can be
worn either with the hat or by itself
as an attractive method of controll-
Ing unmanageable tresses.
A few examples of the idea we're
these: One hat was a dusk gold'
rough straw sailor with medium high
crown and rolled brim. From two
Sits near the center front of the
crown emerged two scarves of dusk
gold gauze. Beneath this was a
brown net dotted with largish disks
OF Clipped mahogany. Or, there
was a huge cartWheel of stitched
gold chiffon with a net sprinkled
with yellow buttercups. For evening
wear the nets were worn alone. and
some of natural hair were sprinkled
with tiny lace flowers with pearl
centers. Others boasted bowknots,
field flowers or beads. A very ro-
mantle one even held a huge bow
OF wired pink tulle.
So what is so new about modern
millinery except that modern beauty
aids as we'll as a complete under
standing of each type of beauty
have turned our chapeaux into items
OF beauty, not necessity? And the
next time some would-be wit gives
vent to sneer about your hand
some headgear, pull out all the old
copies of fashion magazines-and
give him something to really laugh
about!

Atculo. VI COuTSc, LllcTc pIODdUly
nothing we can do about it, but If
some fashion writer suddenly goes
screaming mad you'll know it's be-
cause the movies, radio and cartoon
lists have gone step too far in be-
lifting our bonnets.
For the first 20 thousand times we
grinned politely when some wit"
greeted us with What is that? An
inverted flower pot or lampshade?"
We clenched our fists and counted a
thousand when the best beau said,
That's the silliest looking hat I've
ever Seen"-and then went touring
OIL to dance with girl in a bonnet
worse than ours. So great was our
martyrdom that we even managed
polite smoker when the subject of
millinery was introduced. But no
more, pals, no more. This is the
new regime, and we're out to prove
that hats of today are no sillier than
they were so years ago. In fact,
they're not silly" at all!
Styles Today
Are Smart.
Last Sunday we watched the
Easter parade and particularly the
chapeaux. And word of honor,
there were perhaps half a dozen
OF the number that were awful"
or funny" or ridiculous" For the
main part, hats this season are
as charming and attractive as they
can be, and, fortunately, the major
lty OF women are well aware of Just
what suits their style of charm.
True, there are large brims and
small, high crowns and low, ribbons,
flowers, birds, wells and streamers,
but all of these things which are
SO adaptable to ridicule actually
Halter the average woman. And the
men, If they'd only admit it, do
flnd them appealing!
When you come right down to
1t, hats now are no more unusual
than they were half a century ago,
Old pictures seen ir Harpers Ba-
DeaA Va oSoaC 4oIo SllON lIldI aS
many and more forms of ornamen-
tation were used, and we'd bet next
weeks salary that no unkind re-
marks we're passed in those DAYS.
Feathers, flowers, wells and stream
ers were part of the millinery scene
then as they are now, and certain
ly they were not done in as at
tractive or clever a manner. Even
the way in whicn hats were worn
has been adapted to present modes,
and although We may wear ours
slanted onto our nose or set straight
on our heads even as they did in the
18th century, our smart coiffures
and the proper use of makeup
make them far more becoming.
Old Ideas
Modified.
We've even taken some of the old
ideas and modified them to suit our
modern needs. For instance, re-
