K'ot ro many years ago, the style !n ncn"s 1 :ts was a rirctly staple proposiriun. a:ut if a man so desired he conk! readily wear a Spring hat in the Fall and vice versa; but it seems that men have followed the tendency of women in ftjlc, and the number of different designs which one may now find on display at a larrc hat store is almost unlimited, y One hatter confided the fact that the lint business was a much more precarious proposition than previously, and that new styles seem to spring up almost more quickly than he can order. This was particularly true of the hats for Spring wear and will again be reflected in the vast number of styles which would be proper for use this Fall. When the green hat was first designed, it was the butt of every jokesmith in the .ountry, and the man who had the nerve to wear one was considered to be an rxtrcmely brave sort of person; but for Tail wear, the green hat will not only I e popular but it will be accompanied lv hats of a great many other colors that had hitherto been regarded as rather unusual for men's wear. There will be several shades of blue, rrcen, brown, gray and olive that will he shown by leading hatters of the more metropolitan cities of the country, and tach of these colors will be displayed in

so many models that a man will be almost bewildered when he goes into a store and tries to find a hat that will be becoming to him. Besides the number of colors there will be an equally great number of colored bands which will be made to contrast with the body of the hat, making the entire appearance as attractive and distinctive as any hats which have ever been designed. Perhaps the most standard of all styles will be the high tapering crown hat which had a rather limited start in the straw hats of the past summer. The mushroom brim and the diamond dip telescope will continue in popularity and are certain to be worn as extensively as they were during the past season. Cloth hats will be somewhat in vogue, but they will not be nearly as popular as they have been and will be worn more for knock-about use than for regular street and dress wear. There will not be any decided change in the general proportion for Fall hats; that is, the relation between the height of the crown and the width of the brim will be about as it was for Spring, though in some few instances we will find young men wearing the crowns less telescoped and consequently very much higher than the previous mode.

For early Fall wear the soft hat will of course be preferred to the Derby, for there has been a special season developed for the wearing of soft hats. Years ago a man's supply of hats was usually confined to two styles, a stiff hat and a straw hat, the stiff hat being worn during the entire Fall, Winter and Spring seasons, and the straw hat for , Summer. Style tendencies have changed, however, and we now find for early Fall use and early Spring wear that the soft hat is preferred by most men. This is readily understood when one appreciates the comfort that a soft hat affords. A man's wardrobe to be complete should now contain approximately four different styles of hats per year, of which two should be soft hats, with, of course, the addition of a high silk hat for formal wear. The silk hats for Fall wear will show an almost absolute exclusion of the opera type and will be blocked on the high tapering crown and flat brim order and should follow the lines of French hats. Golf caps for Fall wear will be shown in a great many more patterns than heretofore, and will be made of a great number of imported English and German woolens. They will be made in very large shapes, practically along the same lines as those shown for Spring.
