HAT FEUD
There is a hat .feud in Paris. It was much in evidence at Auteuil races in November. The two trends are ancient —seventeenth century—and modern. The seventeenth-century hats are flat, turned up at the back, and laden with ribbon, flowers, or feathers. The moderns are tall, often brimless, and with a straight crown. Others have brims, and then the crowns are crushed.
To-day many women compromised by having a high brim in front attached to a skull cap. A boater was covered with Parma violets, while another hat looked just like a Christmas-tree—if Christmastrees were of the colour of bluebells.
