Beebe & Co., however, the hatters par er.
eellence, Of the town, have just introduced
their new spring styles, ono of which is de-
scribed as slightly bell in shape, delicate set,
with modest curve, very light, and with fine
band and biading. This is the New York
Hat. 81
A second style, intended more for youths
has cylindrical crown, and very graceful
curve to brim. A third style boasts of a
crown triae smaller at the top .hanat the
band, while thsset Of brim is, nearly fat,
and possesses scarcely any curve. In our
opinion, the hat first described is the most
elegant and recherche in appearance, and
will prove to be becoming to more persons
than either Of the others.
OF shirt bosoms those of marseilles and
figured and striped linen, are fashionable
for sporting and morning wear; while, for
neglige, the collar is worn ID Byronic STYLE.
