Psychology of the Soft Hat.

1.-THE Lord tempers the wind to the
shom lamb" sayeth proverb--to which
a wag with modern notions added: "and
the straw hat to the summer vespers.
But what has caused the revolution, or
rather evolution, since it was bloodless,
in mere Mans headgear ? Why is 1T
seven out Of ten men now wear soft
felt instead of the hard Derby
We are perfectly familiar with the
theory of cycles IN styles. II implies
that in all due time knickerbockcrs and
buckles will return, the hoopskirt viii
once more occupy more space in trolley
car seat than is taken up today by at
least three strap-hangers; that bustles,
the "Grecian bend" wasp waists, starch
fronts with low cut waistcoats, Ascot
ties (which tod ~ would be known as
camoufage because of their ability TO
conceal soiled linenl and last, but not
least, "toppers" of the Abe Lincoln VIM
tace, tall, digni6ed and even stately until
hit by ne'er miss SNOWFALL from the
strong arm of boy, will again be re-
vived
But the cycle theory wont work in the
soft hat instance, simply because the soft
hat never has been recognized as within
the kingdom of style. II has been de-
cidedly Eau fait," taboo and everything
else which Society with the big ''S' has
been able to heap upon its unoffending
coIapsing felt Nevertheless the soft
hat has been steadily gaining in favor.
Possibly, the average man has been mag
retized by its comfort; possibly because
the wife Of his bosom has remarked IN
stern tones: "Now, John, do SO hope
you will get a sensible, stylish hat this
time" which meant buy Derby,
whereat John Immediately bought him
self q crushable headpicce, simply TO AS
sert his independence of skirts, If moth
ing else.
There is one other theory which may
account for the change. This is the preva-
lent and fast growing belief, and not
without its modicum of common sense,
that Derby, with it's tightly fitting rim
causes badness The average bald
headed man may jest about his shining
cranium, but secretly he wishes he had
a head of hair like the other fellow. II
may not be inopportuno, however, to
call attention 10 the fact that fewer doc
tors wear Dcrbies than Van Dykes. II
all men were physicians, BARRIERS, We
fear, would starve.
Seriously, we believe the soft hat
began with the Spanish-American con-
f1ict At that time, in '9S, or two de-
cados ago this coming summer, the pres
ent pointed olive-drab war hat came
into notice Its cult and its vogue
spread with rapidity as did the round
headed shoe in place OF the diamond
shaped toe So today, standing on a
street corner or sitting in a cosy corner
Of the Hotel du Pont lobby VIC note
that al least seven out of every ten men
who pass wear soft felt brims. And the
wonder to us is not so much, the change in
stvlc as it is Now in the world the makers
managed 10 change their mechanical
equipment to keep up with it
To the soft hat The word Is Selah; 10
the Derby, Amen, for the time being.

It was stated at meeting OF the Board
OF Water Commissioners yesterday that
there is nothing in the city's water TO

A wonderful view OF the United
States submarines were shown plying
off the Atlantic coast. A number
were shown in review as was the
various phases of the action of the
U-boat at breakneck speed and its
submersion. The great feature of the
pictures was the navy giving splen-
did insight into the power of our
militia. Rear Admiral Sims was
shown in characteristic pose as was
President Wilson.

SUNDAY BLAZE
MARKS PASSING
REALLANDMARK

One of the first business structures
built on Fourth street passed early
Sunday morning when frame build
ing between the Bismarck hotel and
the Hinckley block was almost com.
pletely destroyed by fire. The prop.
erty was owned by Mrs. Catherine
Boyle and was erected by her late hus.
band in the spring of 1877, when the
capital city to be was but five years
old, Mr.. Boyle erected the structure
for his own use and for 2S years he
occupied it with his pioneer mercan-
tile establishment. Since his retire.
ment, there had been various tenants,
the most recent having been the Block
Tailoring Co.
An alarm was turned in at 4:30. The
entire front was ablaze when the de-
partment arrived five minutes later,
and in spite of the great headway
which the flames had gained, the fire.
men, by work which has won them
the heartfest commentator, confined
the fire to the Boyle, building. The
paint on the Bismarck hotel, immed-
lately adjoining, was not even
scOrched. &
The fire is believed to have resulted
from an. overheated stove. This heat
er was blazing merrily when the fire
men entered the building after the
flames had been extinguished. A
member of the tailoring firm, who was
sleeping in the building, made his. es-
cape shortly after the discovery Of the
fire. The blaze was spectacular
one which brought Grand Pacific
guests from their beds in panic. The
building is so badly damaged that it
will not be repaired, and 1t is probable
that it will be replaced with modern
structure in the spring.
