NEWS PLUMED HATS APPEAR
powny Adornment for Masculine ~
tire 10 the Greatest Departure
In a Century.

Chicago.-Plumed hats for men are
the latest. They have made their ap-
pearance in Chicago and have caused
a g1ea. wave of excitement among the
fashionable men of the city. They are
the biggest departure In masculine
adornment made in a century, and
are so decided a change from the con-
ventional that leading hatters declare
that a complete transformation IN
mems formal attire will be the result.
The extreme styles in mems plumed
hats will not become popular at once,
say experts. Extreme styles never do.
But observant persons have noticed
that for several years many OF the
better dressed men Of Chicago have

worn a ruffed feather just above the
bow Of their dress hats.
Recently this feather has been made
a trife larger until the leaders Of
fashion have accepted 1t as permanent
feature of the thoroughly up-to-date
hat.
The most striking of the new hats
are in the shape Of the foreign Alpine
hat which comes in all colors and q
be had with any style of trimming de-
sired. One shown Is of a light pearl
gray and trimmed with a dark green
plume, with a light border Of rich yell
low. A Paris milliner would call 1t
striking.
The same style with q long green
guile makes another combination be-
coming to many faces. The Alpine hat
admits Of almost unlimited changes
and will permit well-dressed men to
show as much individuality in the mat
ter of hats as women do now.
The dent-crown imported soft hat
shown, with a novelty wing. Is OF
dark gray and comes In many pretty
shades of brown, which will harmon
lie we'll with the newer fabrics which
the tailors have been importing for
spring suits. Wearers of the always
formal silk hat will also be able to
take advantage Of fashions latest
caprice and will not be denied the
privilege Of ornamenting it.
