THE SOFT GRAY FELT HAT
Moods Expressed by II by Young wome
rs Well as Young Men.

Not many years ago every boy between IL
and ~ who was accustomed to city life and
made rretence Of following fashions wore n
bang without being considered effeminate. A
summer manifestation Of his carelessness of
consequences and his independence OF the rest
OF mankind was the exposure OF that bang
under a straw hat pushed back on his head
Take up few tintypes printed from twelve to
fifteen years ago and nine out OF ten boys In
them will have the bang and the tilted back

ofyouth was shown by persistently turning up
the collar OF n covert coat. That showed its
wearer to be possessed Of a certain audacity OF
character. The turned-up collar seems to
have gone out of fashion MS the sym Dol OF these
moods, but the spirit survives and IL expressed
to-day by q turning down Of the hat brim
Its adaptabiity to this purpose has done
more than anything else to keep the soft
felt hat in style. The same hat gives young
women an opportunity to express their feel
