Which Is Your Style.

“I can usually tell what city a man comes from,” said a traveling man the other day, “by the style of his hat.” “How do you make out?” “Oh, easily enough.” replied the man. “Of course I refer tp men who travel a good deal, who are on the road, if you please.” “Yes.” “Yes, a man from Chicago usually wears a silk hat, generally of the latest fashion, well brushed and stylish to a degree. A man of Cleveland usually affects a derby of a low broad crown, perhaps a year out of date. A Philadelphia man, if he has his choice, w ill nine times out of ten, pick a squarecrowned derby. A San Francisco man wears a slouch hat; a Southerner ei f her a stylish silk hat or a low' crush w hite hat.”— Detroit Free Press.
