How "Sizes' Vary.

When you speak of a mans hat
being "about two sizes too large for
him." you do not mean that the
proper fit would be hat two inches
smaller in either circumference or

inches, in sock an inch, in collar
one-half inch, shirt the same, in
shoes one-sixth Of an inch, in pants
one inch, in gloves one-fourth of an
inch and in hats one-eight of an
