Hats worn-PecuIiar Headgear of Well
Known Financiers7Jay Could Wears
Derby Hats Altogether.
The procession of hats in Wall street
is worth viewing. Every body must needs
visit Wall street at one time or another
80 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 it
often betrays the characteristics of a
man. As a rule the money kings are less
particular about the 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 millionaires wear de-
cidedly antiquated and rusty tiles s
Jay Gould used to be very precise in his
dress. His clothes. while of modest pat
tern, were made by 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 q
high white hat Oflate years Mr. Gould
has been less particular about his dress
He has worn dark clothes entirely, and
he has worn them out too. He has
ceased wearing high hats altogether. In
the summer his head covering is light
derby and in other seasons of the year a
black derby M .-a.. 7aJ
There was a time when in the hottest
spells MIR, Gould affected Panama hat.
Although this kind of hat was probably
the most comfortable one he could find
for the dog days he gave it mp 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 fop
He is still neat in his attire. His shirt
front is always immaculate and he ia
always carefully brushed. but he has re-
lapsed into staid and conventional ways
of dressing. II ft's1 Si'sIq
