Everybody knows with what complacency
and with what air of authority the teach
ers, writers and others who lay down the
law in morals. manners, fashions and what
not for their fellow-creatures. insist that
the true gentleman will always array
himself In inconspicuous garb. The unthink-
ing multitude accepts this assertion unques-
~tioningly, when.-if 1t would stop to reflect,
1t would remember that a gentleman who
by force OF circumstances is reduced to rags
Is not necessarily any less a gentleman:
also. that a man Of the most refined and
gentlemanly instincts may be utterly lack
ing In the judgment necessary to select suit
able attire; further. that fashion. which is
a law that no civilized man or woman can
successfully resist, may offer garments by
no means quiet" or inconspicuous. These
are suggested by a portrait Of
Mr.. James Russell Lowell, which appears
in Edward Everett Hale's entertaining story
OF Lowell and His Friends" This portrait,
which represents Mr.. Lowell as he ap-
peared In 1874, shows him with hair parted
in the middle and a curl on each side of
his face, and wearing a wide-spreading
white collar. a stock Of large proportions,
and a waistcoat, more Familiarity known as
a vest, of enormous plaids. The coat is
quiet enough, but. the vest is quite start
ling. 1t is what would be called in this day
a LOUD costume, and its wearer, until his
credentials were produced, would be looked
on askance. Yet no one will deny that Mr..
Lowell was a gentleman in every sense. If
plaids were acceptably worn By gentlemen
in 1874 fashions wheel may swing that way
again, and then what will become of the
present rule for the true gentleman? 1t is
never safe to build axioms on fashions
mandates.

HAT OF SPUN GLASS

A guest at one of the leading New
Orleans hotels put in an appearance in
the office wearing very peculiar look
ing hat. At first glance it seemed to be
of finely woven brown straw, but closer
scrutiny showed that the material was
evidently something else. 1t was passed
around among group of friends, and
they all took a guess. One thought it
was prepared silk, and another thought
it was asbestos, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
You are all wrong" said the gentle
man; sit is made of spun glass. You
can see it has considerable elasticity,
and fancy it would be about as hard
to break as an ordinary Panama. I
value the hat chiefly as curio," he con-
tinued, "for it is too hot to be worn
with much comfort. It was made sever
al years ago by an old Austrian at Pitts
burgh, Pa, who invented process for
spinning and weaving glass, his idea be-
ing to produce noninfammable fab
ric for window curtains and other
draperies. 1t was found, however, that
the stuff couldn't be made attractive to
the eye. 1t was too stiff and ungraceful
and the expense was prohibitive for
theatrical drop curtains-the only pur-
pose to which it might have been
adapted. Anyhow, he gave up the I'M
dertaling, and this hat was one of the
last things he made. 1 had backed the
enterprise to small extent, so the hat
