The first 1910 derby hat has
arrived and a single glance shows
that it's going to be hard winter
for the long-faced man. This sea-
sons derby is about fourth
again as high as last years. It's
tall and tapering and must be
worn high on the head.
Do you remember those green
hats that Andrew Mack and
Chauncey Olcott wear on the stage
to look like the ould Oirish gintle-
min? Well, that's the nearest
thing to the new derbies. The
brim does not roll over at the

by-faced man had to wear a club

Within a few years he came to
New York as Harriman's general
counsel. Wall street laughd at the

They never have. They never
