From Tho Shadows of Great

associate, prosperity and plug bats.
Why poverty of a.l degrees. honest or
dishonest worthy or unworthy. should
celebrate it, emancipation by assuming
at once amt without any preparatory
step, thu, most arrogant and naughty
of hcad-covcriug>
That dramatic yiiliany should usually
triumph in a dre,, coat and stove
pipe hat has always seemed on t. natu-
raj and rccoucilablc with original canons'
OF human nature but that mere wealth
should express, itself "a similar fashion
is not 50 comprehensive.
Yet for Williams The the plug hat is
simply admirable.
Nothing 50 de-humunizes a man as
the cold glitter and uncompromj,ing
rightly OF the slkcn tile. To request
the loan OF a round aud comfortable
derby is difficult; II borrow OF u plug
hat require, suprrhuman nerve.
1t subtiy iu,liii,s the most heartless
utterancc> OF 1T, wearcr, by the sheer
force of It's callous aul unruflled impas-
stability; il is the most cruel, unyield-
ing, uncompromising and ugly Of hats.
Its admirably cons stent. too.
For while it Is a perfect expression
of villany in its sleek success, 1t lends
itself with perfect adaptability to every
stage of n downward career.
Is there ANYTHING. for example, in
VIII ch q drunken man looks drunken
than IN plug hat
If whole it makes him the worse by
contrast; il broken. through sympathy.
For the most eloquent symbol Of IRE
