Women in Commons to Discard Hats After Debate on Possible Shoclks Lady Asior Established Custom of Wearing Head Covering, But Will Join New Move If Hair “Stays in Order,” By the Associated Press LONDON, January 11.—The earnest speeches and discussions that occu- pled most of the time of the women members of the house of commons at the dinner given in their honor last night were enlivened by an exchange of views on the question of whether women are to continue wearing their hats in the house, as Lady Astor and her two first colleagues have done, or g0 _barcheaded The new labor women members de- parted from this precdent on the first day of the session, and last evening gained a recruit when the Duchess of Atholl sald: “It is my ambition to be allowed to do my work in the house of commons with uncovered head. I am ready to obey the wishes and teaching of St. Paul when I enter a divine Dbuilding, but in the commons I am prepared to recognize only the authority of the speaker -and the rules of the house.” Hereupon Lady Astor interjected: “I discovered when I first entered the house that had I gone without my hat I would have shocked most of the members much as.if the Lady Godiva had appeared and I thought I wouldn't give them more than they could stand, o I kept my hat on. Once I actually did go through the lobby hatless and several members came to me and sald, ‘pray don't do it again.’ “I mean not to wear a hat hence forward—when I can keep my hair in order.” One of the anclent customs of the house is that when a member raises a point of order he must don his hat. Lady Terrington wunted to know if the woman would have to keep their hats under the seats against such an emergency. When the customary formal per- mission to smoke was given at the conclusion of the dinner, it was re- marked that the only woman to avail Tierself of the privilege was Miss Jewson, labor member for Norwlch.
