Unique Hat Fastener.

The average woman likes her friends to think she does not have to wear her hats or gowns many times, ss this indicates a varied wardrobe. Unfortunately, some hats will betray the wearer, as the number of holes made by the hatpins will show how often they have been worn. To get

around this a California man has devised a hat fastener which necessitates the use of only one hatpin, yet holds the headgear firmly la place. Inside the band of the hat Is a revolving member equipped with a number of prongs. These prongs engage the hair and act as auxiliary pins, so to speak; indeed it is not absolutely necessary to use even one pin. If one Is used, however, it may be passed-, through the casing holding the prongs and It will of course make the hat more Btable than without it. — Boston Post
