BOWLER HATS

WILL THEY LAST?

•Women aro: apparently intrigued by the bowler hat (writcs-'-a -woman writer in the "News Chronicle"). . . When, .will they grow..tirod of. it? The Paris modes'for-the. new' season have still to be shown; It would seem too good to- be true that millinery models, to be adopted by well-dressed women, should already "be obtainable for a few shillings. The probability is that' women will be tired of the bowler before the winter,", and that there wiil bo a demand for something new. There is the. question of hairdressiug. "How shall we dress our. hair to suit the bowler?" women are.asking. A wellknown beauty specialist states'that.at the moment no revolution in hairdressiug is expected. Women who have let their hair grow are not likely to have it cut short because of a millinery fashion. There is .ono point, however, which is in favour of the bowler having-a tVh-ly long life—men.like it. Also it is becoming to. very many women. But will women really be 'content to adopt a "uniform" again'? We had all for mouths looked exactly alike in our clocho' hats, but it is refreshing to achieve Variety, and to know that, if wfihave a new hat, we shall mot. meet a : dozen other women in the same : inodel. Tune and the opening of. the Paris dress shows will decide this question of the bowler hat. " . ■' .
