Middle of September Calls for New
 Headgear for Men.
 All day long the bell was sound ing calling the straw lids that have done service all summer to theil winter homes; some for the ash heaI others for vacation in a closet where after an extended rest they will be in readiness to go on duty next year. The weather was very appropriate for suitable farewel to summer headwear and the chilly atmosphere made the timid ones be gin to look up their heavy clothing Goodbye to the crash suit and oth. CT incidentals that go to make life pleasant during the sweltering days of summer.
 An Autumn Farewell. Dear old crash suit, goodbye, gocd-
 bye!
 There blows a hostile breeze. 1 say it with yelling eye
 And with an ailing sneeze. Tho close as you have clung to me So close I'd cling to you, !. A cold, cold world demands that we Do bid quick adieu. 'Tis true you've chosen times to
 shrink
 Your duty, and expose Some inside facts-the least, I think, My wristbands and my hose; But then you might, I'm free to say, Have had meaner fit, And in a most ill-natured way
 More seriously have split. We've moved together mid the
 throng;
 We've shared in love and sport; Old suit, although I've known you
 long,
 Now all too short, too short! But when the frost it's course has run,
 And warmth returns, we'll see If you won't suit my little son
 As once you suited me.
 Judge. The fall and winter styles in der by and felt hats are much the same as last season. The felt hats are becoming more popular each suc- ceeding fall as many people do not care to don stiff hat immediately after giving up the straw. The fashion makers of mems clothing are trifie conservative as yet but there is no telling what may be sprung before the winter is over.
