 FUTURE OF PANAMA HAT.

The future of the Panama is a fit sub ject for speculation. Each man has his own method of curing a cold and pre- serving a Panama. Some declare that careful course of kerosene followed by the use of a quart bottle of Florida water Is the only method worthy of being follow cd while others allege that the true stu dent of economy will this year wind whole yards of bath towel fringe around the straw. and hand over the white eie- phant to the negro who attends to the furnace. This. however depends very largely on the question as to whether the coal strike continues.
 If it does, this Is without doubt the wisest course to pursue for not only should the saving on fuel bills be con sidered, but the strain upon the nerves of one who attempts to wear a genuine Panama all summer In a city which is burning soft coal will be avoided.
 As a matter of fact, the indications point to a more or less abandonment of the Panama by society people during the next year or two 1t is expected that a return to the domestic straw with the ad- dition of bands of quiet colors will be noted on the avenue and during the later day at Bar Harbor and Newport
 It may be that the Panamas will be brought out two years hence for the first of the presidential election parades, but one thing is almost certain. which is that the linoleum imitation at S29S has done much to discourage the wearing of the genuine article to any extent during next season.

NEW FALL HATS.

The busiest season of the year has just opened for the manufacturers of mems hats. After tomorrow the reign of the straw hat ceases, and as all the summer head coverings in use soon must be re- placed by heavier material, the factories will be at their busiest, preparing to sup ply the market that convention will cre- ate.
 The rush of work had its general be- ginning last Friday. that being the date fixed by the arbitrary ruler fashion, for new fall and winter styles to be set. and therefore being the date when the models adopted by the more fashionable matters for the new season were attainable by the makers of cheaper hats. Until that time the manufacturers outside the charmed circle could make no move to- ward preparing the new stock, beyond having material and worlImen ready to start on the shortest notice at the big task of shaping and finishing practically two seasons supply of head covering in the few days left before 'the bell rings" on the straw hats that are to be retired.
 The agreement among the fashionable matters is ironbound, and though it might be worth a great sum to the makers of the form of a hat descriyed as the derby" to know a few days or a week
 
 curved and how wide, and the height and outline of the crown, the secrets of fash ions decree are guarded 8, jealously that for years the makers of the cheap CT hats have been unable to find any way of escape from the tyranny of trade and style"
 By the same agreement the new fash ions are put on sale on one date by the makers of fashion, rivals though they are. at a price that never varies. The annual exposition of the new styles there- fore is only two days old, but already the blocks for the cheaper kinds of derby have been made and set to work. While fashion in hat now costs the standard price. another day or two will find the retailers supplying the new shapes at a quarter less than the rates of the fashion arbiters. Thereafter the prices will scale downward until the last dealer in cheap clothing in New York has a full supply. and it is time. there fore, for newer fashions to be intro- duced.
