"There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you’d better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you’ll never understand what it’s saying.”

The millinery supple

“Was that a face I knew of old?! “ “Well, I never!” “Looking younger than she had the right to be, mark my words.” “You are recalling Doris…”. “Living in Paignton at that time, and never seen without a hat of some description.” “Well, I never.”

At the Launceston Cup raceday, the horses are not the only attraction in town. The fashion stakes are just as hard fought on the terrace as on the track.
Here we see the Millinery part of the competition. It's mostly women and their fascinators, but one brave man can be seen at the back of the field in a top hat (God bless him).
My grandmother was a milliner and so she would have loved studying this photograph. But I dare say that when she was making hats, they were not quite as colourful as these.
I'm not a big fan of vignettes, but I thought one here might fit the old-time feel.

A SHIMMERING VISION!
BY MADAM WORTHINGTON, EXCLUSIVE MODISTE
LADIES, THIS IS A TIME OF YEAR TO BE CLAD IN THE UTMOST ELEGANCE AND COMFORT !
THE SHIMMER OF A LONG GROSGRAIN JACKET WILL ASSURE YOU OF ADMIRING GLANCES! WARM AND COMFORTABLE? OF COURSE…!
A FULLY LINED SKIRT, AND LONG ENOUGH TO DEFY THE COLD!
AND I CANNOT IGNORE THIS! A SUPERBLY DESIGNED HAT THAT WILL EARN FULSOME COMPLIMENTS, AND NOT A LITTLE RESPECT.

And a few words from a dutiful mannequin….
‘Oh yes! It seemed only too right, to be parading a fine jacket and hat for the ladies who make it all worthwhile. Where would we be without them?!
Would the outfit appeal to a high-born lady? Or a comfortably off dowager looking to grace a social occasion of a certain renown? These were the thoughts encouraged by staff and organisers on this and many occasions when getting ready to face an audience of valued customers……
Nerves tingling, of course, but after much support and preparation, a mannequin who listened properly could, nine times out of ten, carry out her duty with full poise and confidence….
( And a very dignified lady in the audience came up later and whispered, if I recall rightly: “ You do so remind me of my dear Aunt! At her age she didn’t have much conversation. But she was always immaculately powdered and turned out, till her dying day!” All I could say was “Thank you!” How memories are stirred at these showings! ’.

‘ Is that her again? Or someone else?’ ' As I said before, you never know, after the powder and paint has done its work to perfection!’ ‘ I do admit, I would not be surprised if this turned out to be Doris, after a visit to the local beauty parlour. A popular place for millinery was Paignton in those days…’ ' Yes, I remember it was, in those days..'

QUIET GREETINGS FOR A CHAPEAU!
( Image owned by the account holder)
A LOCAL OBSERVER OF FASHION NOTES:
‘A visit to the millinery department brings its own rewards! Eyes will turn as a distinguished hat sails quietly into view…..
Waiting to parade before an audience of many years’ standing, a fortunate mannequin is pictured. As her modest smile reveals, all the tender receptacles of her personality are moved by her prospect of acceptance and greeting, thanks to the choice of the best that a milliner can offer. Her demeanour whispers a simple request for kind acknowledgement . So let us trust that her expectation was suitably met by the warm smiles of a well-disposed, if otherwise rather less than active, audience.
After finishing her delightful duty, it will be the matter of a moment for her to be whisked away, to return to her traditional lodging, hopefully within the bounds of a peaceful community on which the sun will, in its due time, begin to set.’
( …a photographer will always select a ‘decorative’ rather than a plain setting…)

Ladies’ Millinery and Accessories- at Your Service!
Words from a knowledgeable customer:
“We all know that feeling! When a reliable outfit looks a little tired, and we are at our wit’s end wondering how to liven our appearance for an occasion now all too near. What on earth to do?!
Believe me, and I can call so many ladies as my witness, there is no better recourse than a visit to a shop that can provide just the right thing!
( Image owned by the account holder)
A pair of gloves! A newly wrought hat! Perhaps a chiffon scarf to adorn the neck! Such good value too, when you consider the price of a complete new outfit…
All the better if there is a very helpful assistant or shop owner who can give the right kind of advice……’ Perhaps Madam would like to try this….’ ‘ Madam looks even more perfect with that’… ‘ Madam will be so pleased to see herself now in the mirror’… You know the sort of assistance I mean…And I can always trust a friendly companion for final reassurance, should it be needed.
Even a place that looks a little drab can deliver the most surprising bargains. Once suitably accessorised, and absolutely satisfied with my selection, I can look into my purse… and lo and behold! The price seems trifling….
Yes, reliable millinery and accessories can come to a lady’s rescue- and more than once, I can vouch for that!
Now where we? (To a dear companion, sotto voce) Do you think the glove matches the hat? Just let me look again for a second...........
Heavens, will the hat make my face too big - a ladyfrog on her lilypad?!
( Whisper) 'Fear not, my dear! You're a Mother Cherub in a Rubens painting, I fancy! Perfect for you, rest assured'.............."
