Derby Hats Altogether.
The procession Of hats in Wall street
Is worth viewing. Everybody must needs
visit Wall street at one time or another.
SO more kinds Of hats are seen there per
haps than anywhere else. 1t is. how
ever, TO the hats worn by men famed in
finance that the most interest attaches
The hat never makes the man, but il
often betrlys the characteristics of a
man. Asa rule the money kings are less
particular aboutthe hats they wear than
are their clerks They have more i'm
portant things to think about Hats good
enough for them in one season are good
enough for them in another. The con
sequence Is some m%ilionaires wear de-
cidedly ~antiquated and rusty tiles.
Jay used TO be very precise in his
dress His clothes, while Of modest pat
tern. were made by a fashionable tailor.
and were always correct in fit and finish.
In the cold months Mr., Gould wore a
high silk hat, and in the hot months a
high white hat Oflate years Mr.. Gould
has been less particular about his dress.

he has worn them out too. He has
ceased wearing high hats altogether. In
the summer his head covering is a light
derby and in other seasons Of the year a
black derby.
There was a time when in the hottest
spells Mr.. Gould affected a Panama hat
Although this kind Of hat was probably
the most comfortable one he could find
for the dog days he gave it up for some
reason for the derby. Mr.. Gould does
not change his hats with the styles, but
makes them do service as long as they
will 1t is said that when Mr.. Gould
was a young man he was almost "A for.
He is still neat in his attire. His shirt
front is always immaculate and he is
always carefully brushed, but he has re-
lapsed into staid and conventional ways
of dressing.
MOSTLY SILK TILES.
George j. Gould, the eldest son Of 1ay
Gould, is plain but particular in his at
tire. He is n young man Of athletic
build, and ia a r~efutation Of the saying
that clothes make the man. Most Of the
time he wears a derby like his father
Occasionally he Is seen with a silk nat
In the hot spells he puts on a straw hat
Russell Sage wears a high silk hat or
= high white hat according 10 the season.
In rainy weather or when heis going for
n drive he dons n derby. He generally
carries a silk handkerchief in his pocket
with which he brushes his silk hat when
ever he puts it on. Mr.. Sage is very ex-
act in his dress. Both on leaving his
house and his office he carefully brushes
himself. He has a shoe brush in one Of
the desks at his Office, and he gives his
shoes a smart rubbing at the conclusion
Of business each day.
Cyrus w. Fields tall form is made 10
look taller by a high silk hat, which,
however, is discarded for a straw hat in
the heated term. Mr.. Field is particular
TO sec that the nap Of his silk hat is
brushed the right way, but he is rather
near sighted, and rarely goes to IA meet
ing without picking mp somebody else's
hat in place Of his own. Once in a
while he gets thu best Of the bargain.
but as a rule, he says. he is the loser.
Coils p. Huntington is one of the few
men who wear head coverings both in
doors and out At home rs well AS In
his office he wears a silk cap. The prac-
tico Is more from force Of habit than
anything else. Mr.. Huntington has lit

is a powerfully built man and has
scarcely lnown a day Of sickness in his
life. In the street Mr.. Huntington wears
a silk hat, except on rainy days. when he
puts on q derby.
D.. o. Mills is a clerical looking man,
and he H~ecentuates his ministerial mien
by wearing n silk hat Of severe shape.
In the summer he wears a tall white hat.
Sidney Dillon, the president Of the
Union Pacific railroad, wears a derby
with a broad black band, which he oc-
ca%sionally, in the evening or on Sunday,
exchanges for n high silk hat. Mr.. Dill
Ion is a very tall man, and a silk hat
makes him look a giant in comparison
with the average man.
J. Perpont Morgan wears both "A silk
hat and a derby, and one about as much
as tho other. He buys his hats in Lon
don, and they always attract attention
by their contrast to American shapes.
Mr.. Morgan does not let his hats get
rusty.
Addison Cammack, the bear leader in
Wall street, generally wears a high silk
hat in winter and a high white hat in
summer.
DEACON WHITES HAT
Deacon S. V. White wears n straw hat
in summer, but the rest Of the year a
soft black hat covers his head The
memory of Wall street runneth not back
TO the time when Deacon White was
ever seen in u other kind Of hat thai
those named If he were to possess a
silk hat he would probably from habit
try to double it up and put it in his
pocket He sits on his straw hats the
same rs on his soft hats.-New York
Recorder.
