WILL WEAR GREEN HATS.
New English Fad Is Sprung in Eastern
Cities.

NEW YORK, Oct. Green hats
such as King Edward VII of Eng
land wore during his recent visit to the
continent are now the vogue with the
returning American tourists. The
voyagerS or the Baltic and the Cam
pania, which arrived here last week
rejoiced in the new fashion, and sew
eral completed the color scheme by
wearing ties and scarfs of the same
shade.
1t is declared that the fashion is
spreading over Europe and the men
travellers count their trip incomplete
unless they have such hats. The head
gear is shaped on the Alpine model
and looks not unlike some of the pict-
uresque creations seen in the Tyrol.
The ribbon of green which adorns it is
wide and ends in a fluffy flourish.
Some of the hues of green are very
bright and may be seen at great dis
tances. while others of a subdued olive.
New York hatters seem much dis
turbed over the innovation. They hope
that the demand for the green hats
VIII not become too general. because
the blocks for the present season had
been determined upor. before the idea
from abroad arrived.
