PATRIOTS MAY BE SHABBY
Shabbiness may become the latest fashion before the war ends, writes a London correspondent. Women may compete in wearing their oldest hats and keep them longer than they would ever have dreamed of doing in pre-war days. The hint that they should has been given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Kingsley Wood, who said that shabbiness might become a new form of patriotism. \ A wise man, he employed flattery to make his point. “We know,” he said, “ how adaptable and clever women are. They will be able to put a new ribbon on one of their old hats and go about as proud and pleased as though it wore a new one. because they wilj not only have something attractive as a bat, but will be making a contribution to the war.”
