Many clever persons who consid

traordinary, but 1t rarely happens that
they adopt a fashion which Is insult

originally conceived was a smart little
affair, eminently suitable for winter
wear.
It came down closely on the head.
It permitted enormous fur stoles and
collars to be worn with comfort; 1t
clung to the hair in gale Of wind.
In short 1t was thoroughly suitable

not be blamed II the close-fitting hat
