The man referred to entered the store,
bought an umbrella, a pair of gloves and
soft black hat, and while the halter
was talking to him he learned he was

the halter remarked after his customer
had gone Il have made study Of that

calling if they only observe people and
notice their actions, The work man
does gives him certain sort Of air ana
expression entirely different from anyone
else. Observe the air of a minister
severe and careful in everything.
HIS PATIENTS MUST OBEY HIM.
'Notice the way a doctor acts. He is
decisive, commanding and acts like one
used to being Obeyed. Talk with law
yer. He'll argue with you about every
thing aud use expressions foreign to al
most everyone And so it is with every
calling
The conversation drifted back to hats,
but it was interrupted by young man
who entered the store.
II want derby, - he remarked.

A hat Of black hue was finally found.
II fitted. The young man asked:

The Young man thus iollied became
rather fam boyant and remarked

Hes clerk" the halter remarked.

million, and wears a hat worth 49, while

you noticed. Some men come in here and
want hats of the style of four years ago
They won't wear anything else,

five years behind the age, so far as style
goes. l know a man who is worth plenty
of money who hasn't bought hat in ten
years. He wears an old, dilapidated silk
tile winter and summer. He has had it
blocked and ironed hundreds of times
It's not because he's mean or anything of
that sort bnt Just because he's become
attached to his old hat and hates to get a
new one, in which he would likely feel I'M
comfortable. Why, every time he comes
in here to get his tile ironed he tips
the clerk 30 cents, besides paying for the
job"
Styles III hats come and CO. This year,
the latest style in derbys is one ten years
old. Many well-known matters have
styles of their own, but they vary from
the general shape but little.
There is a good thing in hats. Every
s. hat does not cost more than 81. 25 to
manufacture and an imported derby for
which SO is charged may be bought
Wholesale for 81 in London. The English
hats are much heavier than those of
American make and consequently wear
longer.
Straw hats are very cheap this season
and are being worn more than in many
years. The old white high had, which
has been so popular in years gone by, has
almost entirely disappeared, and hardly
two men in town wear them.
Many people can tell a mans character
by the kind of hat he wears. There are
some who make a study of the matter,
and are always alert 10 observe when on
the street or in any public place Many
famous men in the countrys history have
worn one hat for years at time Al
though well dressed in every other
and would be thrown away if they We're
owned by others. There are hundreds of
men who never wore silk hat in their
lives. Many contend a man should wear
a silk hat to be properly dressed, while
others say silk tiles suggest a person is
inclined to be sport. But the shape is
everything.
A statesman's silk hat is entirely diff
ferent from that worn by the society
man, and the one worn ION Sunday" by
the general class of men differs greatly
from the "stove-pipe" of the ward poll
tician.
But hats are things people can't get
along without, and the peculiar class will
continue 10 have their little eccentrici-
