Whether or not the similarity IN

growing number of stores are handing
hats for both sexes and doing II sue
cessfully, too One of the most prom

St Louis and husband and wife can
go there together and each purchase
Ccmplete outfit Of hats Of all descr1p-
tons, from an imported mogeI 70
straw sailor for the lady, and Pan

man. Several other dealers in men
hats in the western cities are contem-
plting putting in a line OF womens NIL
Iinery during the coming season
Mems Headgear Varies
The headWear of men Is becoming al
most as varied in its styles and ma
teria1s as is that of women, and each
year the number Of models increases.
Not only women, but men as wei, call
into service the products OF every part
of the world to crafty their vanity.
During the present season each well
equipped store dealing in mems mats
had to have PanamaS from ECUADOR
and Porto Rico, Sennlts and 1eddos
from Japan. Milans and leghorns from
Italy, split braids from China, Bang
kOks from Siam, Manilas from the
Philippines, Javas from Borneo, Mack
inaws from Canada and dunStab les
from England, in addition to the felt
and fabric hats which come from
France and Germany and our own
country. The STYLES, sizes and shapes
in which these hats for men are made
and trimmed is as varied as their orr
gin ard the time when a man had just
one or two simple hats to choose from
each season is passed An economy IN
hats affected by many men is IN the
adjustable hat band. Some men have
a dozen hat bands for a single hat.
They change them to match their neck
ties or for other reasons College men
like TO wear their college colOrs on
their hats and when ball game is on
between two rival college teams there
is a demand for hat bands for the be-
levers in each team.
At a recent exhibit in hygiene, held
in Dresden, Germany, the results were
given of some tests made as to the
relative advantages in Temperature OF
the different kinds of mems hats worn
during warm weather Panama was
registered at n degrees, the straw hat
at 70 degrees. the soft wool felt at Sc
degrees, the silk hat at SO degrees. the
cloth cap at "a degrees and the yacht
ing cap at 9S degrees. These tests
were made partially with view TO
regulate the provisions for the uni
forms of certain classes OF police Of
