Women's Hats Spark Romance; Rent Bonnet And Catch Husband
New York—(UP)—Men are "really mad" about the hats mats women wear, says Miss Matty Clarke. "A woman's hat, and not a man's stomach, is really what sparks romance," she said quite seriously.
Miss Clarke, a blonde, willowy former model, claims ownership of the nation's only agency that rents hats to women.
She said her hat renting business is a whopping success simply because she knows how a feminine bonnet will affect a man.
"Why," she said, "one of my hats, which I call the Flora Dora number, already has clinched five marriages and three engagements.
"The Flora Dora hat," she said, "is always in demand, but I don't rent it unless I know, positively that the situation—e-calls for it."
Miss Clark said she doesn't rent any hat unless she has a "complete fill-in" on the occasion.
"After all," she explained, "my clients rent hats to impress their men. If I encourage them to wear the wrong ones—" She twitched a shoulder with graceful significance.
"Before I dare rent a hat," she continued, "I must know a few things about my client's date. How old is he? What's his occupation? Where are the couple going? Is the man trying to impress a new date, or pep up an old one?"
"I keep a file on the rented hats," she said, "including detailed information about the reaction each hat received. It serves as a valuable guide when renting hats to other customers.
"Ive found that most men like attractive hats, no matter how wild a creation it might be. Sure, they howl, but they don't mean it. When their women draw attention it pleases their ego."8
Miss Clarke said that for blind dates she suggested a "head-hugging green lame, with drooping, black, palm glycerine feathers." And for dinner with a businessman, a "tri-corne, cluttered with pink plumes."
She said the "out of town buyer" type, who wants to paint the town red in one night, usually like "the provocative, profile hats that have plenty of sophistication."
"It has a homey air," she said. "I guess it reminds the boys of their mothers."
But it's always the Flora Dora, she said, when the men are sentimental and on the verge of proposal.
