PALO ALTA HATS.
Among the novelties that the late victories
on the Rio Grande have given birth to- is the
introduction of new hat called the "Palo
.Aho." 1t is made of white silk, much higher
in the crown than the present fashion, which
makes it cooler than the low crowned hat, and
the under rim is green, for the protection of
the eyes of the wearer. This hat is admirably
suited to the present season, and is the inven-
ton of Todd, whose taste in such matters is
proverbial. They may be obtained at his ex-
