The TOP Hat.

Although the beginning of the "cylin-
der of civilization" as it has been
called, can be traced back to the Eliza
bethan era, it is only about seventy
or eighty years ago that the top hat
of the present day reached its final
shape Since then it has altered slight
~ in the dimensions of the crown and
the curl of the brim, but the hat itself
has remained essentially unchanged.
The top hat seems to have had its be-
ginning in the habit Of gallants in the
Elizabethan period Of cooking up one
side of their broad brimmed, high
crowned felt or beaver hats and secur-
ing them with jewel. The French
court later developed this into cooking
up three sides of the hat and fastening
one with Il loop of ribbon. From this
fashion came the cockade, now used
only by grooms and footmen. The silk
hat of today was born in France and
suppIanted the now nearly extinct
beaver hat of practically the same
shape, though considerably larger
