The outside observer considering the
headwear styles for men this spring
would draw the conclusion that hat
manufacturers have been so put to IL"
in securing materials and dyes that
they have had but little time to evolve
new hat designs.

unique has been developed.
In the stiff hat styles 1t would neces-
state q close scaling with tape ana
rule to describe the variation in pro-
portions from the derby OF last season.
The crowns and brims seem approx
mately the same, with dimensions vary
ing slightly to attain different degrees
Of contour necessary as compromise
to effect becoming appearance to dit
ferent shaped faces and features.
Colored derbies are shown but spar
tans, with bands Of black or darker
shade of the foundation color. A few
DOrsay shapes are shown.
In the soft hats the Alpine and troop
er shapes take precedence over the
telescope styles, with crowns slightly
higher and brims q trifie wider than
heretofore. These are shown in a great
variety of color effects, with bands OF
colors. Dark blue, dark
green, Nile green, champagnes, choco-
late tan. steel, gun metal, pearl, putty
The popularity for caps is still on the
increase, no doubt fostered by the In
creasins popularity of golf and motor
ing. These are mostly in large, full
shapes with wide visors. The fabrics
are for the most part OF large and
rough Ecotchy effects In broad plaids
and mixtures of necked designs.
