Summary

NoS Summary - Old fashioned hats and wigs are contrasted with the very latest Old Time Modes in Millinery.
British Pathe synopsis: Intertitle asks: "Ever tried to contrast those old-time modes with the latest in millinery?" C/U of four women wearing antiquated wigs and old fashioned hats. Their hair is ringleted and one woman wears a white "Marie Antoinette" style wig. The girls turn to show off their hats. They smile broadly at the camera. "Queer how fashion treads the same road as years ago." C/U of two girls modelling old fashioned hats, they chat and laugh. By means of a camera trick they appear suddenly to be wearing modern hats - cloche style. "Ask Ma - she knows." C/U of a woman’s feet, camera pans up her legs - she is sitting on a sofa. Camera continues to tilt until we see the model’s face and hat. "Temptation" intertitle is followed by a woman tempting her friend with a cigarette, the friend pushes it away. Eventually she succumbs and has a puff. She then coughs.
