A Relic of Old Time Hats.

nut street halter. Nov. just take
your own derby hat. Do you see that
little white bow at the back inside
What earthly use is it? 1t can't be for
effect, because no one ever looks in
side your hat. But would you buy a
hat without that same little white bow
tackled at the back Of the lining? !
guess not No, sir; the manufacturer
has to lay out money for silk to make
that little bow. 1t doesn't amount to
much for one hat. but when you think
how many hats a manufacturer turns
out in the course of a year you will
agree with me that the silk used up
amounts to pretty item. The funny
thing is that there is reason for that
bow too. 1t is relic Of prehistoric
days, so to speak-that is. 1t had use
once in the old days. but in spite of
the fact that it's use has been aban-
doned long ago the bow remains. In
the good old days instead Of making
the hats in graded sizes they were all
made one size and a ribbon was run
around inside the lining. By tying this
ribbon or letting 1t out at the bow in
the back the hat could be made to ut
the head."-Philadelphia Record
