HAT OF SPUN GLASS.
VIII Prevent Frequent
Imitation.

A guest at one of the leading New
Orleans hotels put in an appearance IN
the Office wearing very peculiar look
ing hat. Al first glance it seemed 10 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 guess. One thought it
was prepared silk, and another thought
il was asbestos, says the New OrHans
Times-Democrat.
.You are all wrong" said the gentle
man; lit 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. !
value the hat chiefly as a curio, he con-
tinued, ''for il is too hot to be worn
with much comfort. 1t was made sever
a years ago by an old Austrian al Pitts
burgh. Pa, who invented process 70:
spinning and weaving glass. his idea be
ing TO produce nCninAammable fab
ric for window curtains and other
draperies. 1t was found, however, that
the stuff couldn't be made attractive 10
the eve. 1t was too i'll and Ungracefrll
and the expense was prchib!tiye for
theatrical drop curtains-thc only pur-
pose to which it might have been
adapted! Anyhow, he gave up the Ir-
dertaking, and this hat was one of the
last things he made. ! had backed the
enterprise TO a small extent, so the hat
stands me in about 81, 100. 1t is the most
expensive article of attire that | pos
sess. | don't know anything about its
acoustic properties, but / presume one
might talk through it the same as
through any other hat"
