Gentlemen,s Hats.

"The styles in gentlemen's hats" said
a halter in answer TO a reporter of the
New York Mail and Express, differ
very little from those of last winter.
The crown Of the Derby is higher and
the curl and the brim are both hatter.
In silk hats the bell is lighter and the
brim is more open, smaller and more
coarsely rolled. The Fedora and Al
pine, the soft hats, are not worn SO
much. Black IS the prevailing color
and the silk hat is the only dressy hat.
There is nc difference between the young
mans hat and the old mans hat, except
that the latter has a wider brim. One
can hardly say that is true, either, for
the old men are getting quite juvenile
in their tastes. Before long they will
be the only ones wearing the narrow.
brim high hat.

Going Abroad.

The annual social outflow toward Eu-
rope has already commenced, but prob
ably won't reach full Roadway for
another month. The steamship agents
report nearly all berths engaged up to
the end Of June. MI. Vanderbilt is
preparing for his regular trip. This
may be why he has lately been getting
some Wall street things off his hands.
A trip to England and back does him
more good, he SAYS, than anything else.
He enjoys it almost as much as driving
a pair OF fast trotters, and il braces him
up wonderfully. Many Of his Fifth
avenue neighbors are also getting
ready for sea, but most Of them will
stay away longer than he Intends TO.
Their programme is TO take the whole
summer instead OF n few weeks. 1t
won't cost arg more to do Europe,
from London TO Rome-or not much
more anyway--than to pass the season
In proper style at New York,
Long Branch or Saratoga, and the
tone Of the thing, is, of course immeas-
ureably greater. The only objection to
the trip is that some common people
may be in the same ship, down in that
horrld place they callthe steerage, don't
you know. There may be agood many
such the coming summer, a steerage
rates are now very low, the war between
the companies having brought them
down 10 SIS. A pressing need Of the
time is steamship line that doesn't
carry any common people--none but
the highest of the high-toned. III this
is not providedi it may soon be necessary
for parties Of tourists from Fifth avenue
to hire whole ships for themselves. The
tendency OF the money-snobs to get
away from the common people increases
every year, and something will certain
~ have to be done to enable them to
keep far away from them, every
where at sea as we'll as on land. Just
imagine a millionaire living in the same
house, or boarding in the same hotel
with a laborer, yet millionaire and la
borer now cross the Atlantic in the same
ship.
