THE VOGUE OF THE SILK HAT.
1t Has Lost Ground. But 1t Is sdII n
swell Head-Gcar.

From the Hatters Gazette.
If the question were asked of every
wearer of a silk hat. If comfort were
the only question to be considered, would
you prefer TO wear a felt or a silk hat?
We do not doubt that without exception,
the answer would be that fashion DEGREES
/ that silk hats must be worn by all men
who wish 70 look well dressed, and the
dictates of fashion must be obeyed, not
Withstanding the extra comfort gained by
wearing a hard or soft felt While fash
ion rules thus. the hat trade benefits ali
round. A man wearing a silk hat when
on business at social functions, or on
Sunday naturally revers TO felt hat
on other occasions. AS hatters know,
hat suffers almost as much wear by be-
ing exposed to light and dust while hang
ing on a peg as when on the wearer's
| head. it follows that all branches OF The
trade are helped and the more frequent
" the leaders Of fashion desire new shapes
in either silks or felts the greater will
/ be the turnover Of manufacturers and re
tailers.
Who are the mysterious individuals. or,
rather. who is the mys terious individual
who DEGREES with what particular kind OF
! covering long-suffering humanity shall
hide the brains we are all more or less
supposed to possess? II is said that the
Prince of Wales, who is a Staunch be
lever in the silk hat, has a considerable
| hand in the matter. But, whether thar
be so or not, the Prince is undoubtedly
| responsible for the still almost impresna-
| bic position this article occupies in our
Wardrobes. According to a London morn
| ing paper the silk hat is losing ground.
"Wtth frock coat il is de rigueur the
world over with an who make the slight
/ est pretensc even of knowing what to
! wear" says the writer of The article. But

ROOT BEER IN THE MELON.
Amusing Mistakes Made by Sena-

tor Who Prepared "a Feast.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, June ga distinguished
senator from New England has for TWEEN
ty years past boasted of his skill in pre-
pairing watermelons for the table Last
year, about this time, he asked a number
of friends to his house to enjoy melon
feast In preparing for the event the SEN
ator plugged three fine Georgia melons and
poured into each one a quart of cham
payne. When, several hours afterward
they were brought upstairs to the dining
room the host prepared to do the carving
All but several of his most intimate
friends We're served from the two melons
first cut The third one, the finest of the
lot, was kept for the senator himself and
the few others who, in his opinion. could
cut open, seemed a little darker in color
than the Others but no one commented
on the fact Each gentleman after he had
tasted il remarked This is delicious" but
their approval had in it a ring of polite
ness that made the senator suspicious
The senator hurriedly cut out a morsel
held it to his lips several times ana then
exclaimed: well, I've been fixing melons
this way for twenty years and I never
knew one to taste like that before" Some
one suggested he had made a mistake
and proposed that they look at the bot
Ties. so downstairs went the whole party
and there on the shelf were the three
empty bottles, two with champagne labels
and the other marked root beer"
