STRAW HATS AGAIN
PRINCE SETS THE FASHION DISPLAYS IN LONDON SHOPS LONDON, .Tuly 115 "Where is my straw hat ? I have taken to wearing them again," said the Princis of Wales, on alighting from an aeroplane at Cambridge, where he lunched mth Field-Marshall Sir William Birdwood. Hatmakers are anxiously asking whether the Prince's boater means a revival of straws. One wholesale dealer said; "We have been waiting for years for the Prince to wear a boater in England. Now,, ha has done it! He made a gesture in Argentina, but the boater there, is not nearly so important as it is in England. We expect a brisk sale henceforth." London hatters are busily filling their windows with straw hats and one West End shop displayed a big notice stating, "The boater has come back."
