AUTUMN STYLES FOR MEN
Several Varieties Affected BY Leaders o
Male Fashions.
HALf-sEAsON HAT A GREAT PROBLEM
The Johnny Jones" style of Hat and
the Derbies and AIpines-COlOrs
An Neckwear-Tan shoes
I'm Favor.

The struggle for the informal hat which
shall take the place Of the straw until the
derby becomes a positive necessity occupies
many men in the autumn days. Most OF
them decide on a soft gray felt which still
takes the nat and inelegant form ma e
famous by George Conan. and 10 this uay
Is described by most persons as Johnny
Jones' hat. There is, Of course, little dig
nifty in such head dress. What u EN- 8
the man to wear as a substitute for the
straw before he takes to the derby? 1t
might be said here that fashion in its most
correct form would require a derby which
at this season Of the year may be brown.
But such advice will not have any erect
on the man who wants soft felt hat.
The brown alpine shape, soft and with
rather broad brim and a high corded
ribbon, is the nearest approach to proper
city wear In a soft hat and II is, Of course,
the best form in the country at this sea-
son OF the year. In gray II is equally cor
rect In England the crowns OF these soft
hats are worn much higher than they are
here. The high pointed crown has. accord
ing to our ideas, no beauty and is not
smart. Some of the importers have these
hats made up especially for our market
and the English manufacturers see that the
crown is Of the height admired in this
country. The round gray and brown hats
are unbecoming to stout men as they make
their faces look rounder and fatter. but
come very smart shapes In this style are
imported from England.
Viennese manufacturer, whose soft hats
were brought here first several years ago,
sends over dark green felts of a kind very
popular among the German and Austrian
nobility. They usually must have the
adornment Of the little feather on one side.
They first became popular in England when
the king had himself photographed at
Marienbad with one of these hats on. They
also come in brown and black. but the dark
green, which is the color of the forestry
and hunting officials IN Austria and Ger
many, is the most distinctive color.
Then there are the hats of cloth similar
to the kind Of suit a man may wear,
which are as smart as anything at this
time of the year. They are made by one OF
the city's hatters and are best when speci-
ally fitted to the head. They are especially
| liked when they are made up in brown
and gray Scotch tweeds. Men who have
several have the cloth sent from theil
| tailers to this hat maker, who follows ar
English model in his work. These hats are
inexpensive and are suited to rough veal
at any time Of the year. They need moi
match a suit and had best follow merely
its general tone and color.
