The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-07-01


Maybe it's because of the uncertainty
of the weather and perhaps it's more
convenient, but at any rate the head
gear worn by Honolulu's men in So
eiety at night is about as nondescript
as one could imagine. Otherwise CARRIED
a la mode their evening dress, waist
coats. collars ties and footwear of the
latest pattern. the headgear verges on
The humorous. To obtain a view of
outlandfsh hats and caps one has but
20 watch a procession of guests on their
way TO or returning from social func-
zion. There is a handsome young fell
low in faultless evening dress wearing
z dinky little steamer cap with white
and black stripes. Another bandbox of
fashion has a steamer cap of four or
ave seasons back with ear-haps tied
an top with black cord. An elderly
man looks and feels comfortable-iii a
yachting cap. A middle.aged0 married
man wears soft black felt hat some
what battered from having been worn
at many a holly contested game on the
golf links. Still another in the long
=. procession wears Panama turned up
m front and down at the back of the
neck, and another wears his just the
reverse. Some Panamas are worn with
the crown denied in la Fedora style,
others in the more recent diSh-mode.
Here and there may be seen Derby,
some with the latest curve in the brim
and others dating back into last cen
Tury. Then several motor caps are in
evidence. At long intervals may be
seen a top hat. In fact the latter seems
to have only part in the social curric-
alum on wedding and opera occasions
Then they are out in force. OF course,
a little steamer cap or a black felt is
easy to stuff into ones coat pocket on
arrival at the place of entertainment,
and therefore easily found when it's
owner is ready to take his departure.
Then, of course. all this departure from
rhe set methods of dress may be due,
as has been said. to the uncertain state
of the weather. but> it's all decidedly
humorous.
