At the milliner’s the new models that give the high hat in tiers of colour—but getting smaller as the chim-ney-pot nears the top, where it is “open” to the elements—are attracting much interest, states an English paper. The view of the London specialists in millinery is that while Paris has undoubtedly gone out for the high hat, its reign will not be a long one. The old-fashioned pork-pie turban, with the beautiful aigrette placed exactly in the front, i= one rival mode. The turban and the shovel line are both well adapted to the requirements of the average English head.
