HATS IN THE WIND.
ROYAL GARDEN PARTY. As a woman was curtsying to the Queen a sudden gust of wind blew off her hat. This was one of the most embarrassing of a number of cases at the Royal garden party, where the large, floppy hats proved to be insecurely anchored in the gusy wind, wrote a London correspondent on July 25. Apparently the hatpin industry has not yet recovered from the effects of shingling and other depressing influences. The use of hatpins has not kept pace with the growing size of hats and the more abundant growth of hair. Princess Margaret Rose had been holding her hat on with both hands. When the National Anthem was played she brought down her hands to her side, although she was evidently uneasy. She looked up anxiously at her mother, and seeing the Queen put up her hand to her hat, the Princess, apparently relieved, followed suit.
