WINDY WEATHER AND HURRICANE HATS
“It's an ill wind that blows no one good.” That is what the milliners are saying about the hurricanes that have raked southern England, for they have supplied an excuse for them to launch a new fashion, the hurricane hat. This = comfortable headgear is fashioned almost entirely on the lines of air pilot’s helmets, with flaps covering the ears Seen .in waterproof material and- in leather, trimmed with fur or astrachan, it is admirable. The girl in the street in London nowadays presents a trim and weatherproof appearance. Nearly everyone is in Wellington boots or rubber gaiters with zipper fastenings. The latest rubber gaiters are made in a range of colours exactly matching one’s . stockings and slices. Incidentally, the day of Russian boots appears to be quite dead and buried.
