WOMEN'S HATS ARE
17THCENTURY MODE
London "Pikeman's pot" gtyles
In women's hats, designed after
the steel helmets of tho 17th cen
tury plkemen, represented In the
collection of arms and armor of
the Tower of London, are the lat
est sensation In fashionable Lon
don millinery.
For some time, milliners have
hunted for designs that would, by
their novelty of appeal, lure wo
men away from the popular cloche
fashion. Earlier In the season they
thought that a successful rival had
been found In the square-crowned
hat, but this was voted down by
fastidious clients.
Now the 17th century helmet Is
being used as a model for the
mid-winter hat. The weather
weight felt of the season ste-d
grey Is the favorite color choice for
realistic effect Is blocked to the
17th century outline and a tuft of
feathers gives the feminine touch.
