The New stoyepipe Hats.

Sometimes there is a good deal in a
hat, and sometimes there is not The
latest authority saws there is to be less
room in the upper of the stovepipe than
usual. In fact the newest dudes are al
ready tapering off at the top a good
deal like the old-fashioned sugar-loaf,
or the historic hat of the witch-burners.
OF course there will be more or less
cutlery against the enlongation and mar
rowing of the stovepipe. 1t is ugly and
uncomfortable enough at the best But
when it conforms measurably to the
size of the human head and keeps up
something of the spirit of the soft hat or
turban the human eye is not too severe
ly offended. But to run it up TO plain.
black, blunted point is too much even
for the. prevailing beauty of men,
Possibly the return to the Puritan
shape of hat may swing us back some
what toward Puritan morals, and in
some things some people might be in
clIned to call that an Improvement But
it is doubtful if the bat would accom-
plish much toward improved morality.
Even the head is rather ineffective in
that line. and much less can be said OF
hats. The narrow top hats have not
improved the women very much, and
the men are much tougher subjects. On
the whole. little is to be hoped for in the
new hats of the day. Philadelphia

A Washington letter to the Boston
Traveller says: THE latest craze which
has struck the Washington belle is the
carrying of canes. A few weeks AGO
q young leader in society returned from
England. and the next day she surprised
her friends by appearing on the street
with cane. 1t wasn't the ordinary
dude cane, but nice little stick with a
shepherd 5 crook of hammered silver.
Sometimes she swung it. and at other
times she struck the ground with a
sharp rap. There is no question but
that this created a sensation, but there
is great deal of difference of opinion
as to whether the craze will strike in or
not So far not more than half-a-dozen
girls have mustered up courage enough
to appear on the streets with canes
