APROPOS OF STRAW HATS.

Men who go to buy a new hat have their
little ways just as women have" remarked
an experienced hat dealer. las a rule our
sex has the reputation of firm nerve, de-
cision of character, seIf-relance and all
that, but plenty of customers that we have
seem to lose all their mental equilibrium
when it comes to choosing new hat Our
straw hat season is still on-lots of men are
just dilatory as women about getting
their summer hats-and every day 1 wait on
men who come in two and two to help each
other buy the new hat OF course they
don't take as much time TO the perform
ance as women do, because they don't have
to bother about flowers and feathers; but
they are every mite as particular that the
new hat shall be becoming. First one man
puts on a hat, then the other man puts on
hat; then they stand back and look at each
other. Then one man says: Wei. that
looks pretty well-but try another one
often at the first trial one or the other will
say: There. old boy ats the hat for
you. You couldn't get one that suited you
better if you tried a hundred.
Sometimes, too. the other man won't get
a hat that suits his friend for quite while;
then his friend will say suddenly: Stop,
Jack! don't take that off; that's the hat
suits you to a DOT. Then they have their
old hats wrapped up or leave them behind
and go off happy We have to get rid of a
lot of old hats Men who leave their old
hats here and say they will come after them
seldom do so Now and then l find a
proper good hat for myself among the old
ones-Tm not too proud to wear an old
hat-and our porter never has TO buy a
hat

where she took a special course, supple
menting her studies until she was far
ahead of her classes. Later she announced
her intention OF going to Zurich 10 take a
degree and brought down upon her head
the disapprovai of all her Quaker and
Southern relatives.
But she and a young woman friend per-
severed, and went TO Zurich. where they
encountered the opposition of the conserNa-
tive professors, who hated women students.
This too was overcome. and the plucky
American girl in a few months passed the
examinations for entering. Her graduation
was rare triumph for she completed the
course in year less time than was usual
and took degree and honors which had
not been taken by a man for forty years
back.
Her reputation for intellectually makes
everyone anticipate meeting in her posi-

world of letters, and she is looked upon as
