it preserves your masculine beauty, and in what
manner and how it screens your ugly mugs from
our view any more than our hats. And then in
form us the amount of comfort you enjoy on July

covered straw hats, where the high water mark or

hala'lons of twenty years. suppose You would
praise the taste Of those individuals who would hold
on to them because they are old, and would abuse
those who try to change the fashion by introducing
something new. suppose you like those big heavy
Panamas, when the dashing young buck of twenty
summers not content with letting it stay in the
shape the halter gave it, must turn il down MI round
his face, so that he may appear Somewhat rowdysl
The only advantage we can see in this method Of
wearing it, is that it hides their sleepy fces-butl
suppose with you it would be all right, since YOU |
want the face covered. Then there is the Paul .Ju
lien, with crown about three inches high and a |
brim not very ex,ensive-this seems to be the rage

CoTToS-"e have had another quiet weeks bu-

the disparity in the views Of holders and buyers.
Recent advces from Liverpool indicate nothing ia
vorable to Cotton. Our domestic markets general
ly are in dull and depressed state, which chlls the
hope Of much improvement in prices for the pres
ent season. We quote as extremes 81 to 81 cents.
