why DO MEN WEAR HATS?
Really, When You Come 70 Think Of
u, They Are Of Little Use and
Not Ornamental.

Men themselves do not know why
they wear hats. Hats aren't ornamen
tai. They do not keep off the rain. A
mans hat is legacy Of tradition, bru-
talized i'd its descent from the age Of
adornment. Straw hats are the least
awful.
The derby, the iron lid Of common
phraseology, is tragedy, and the silk
hat is useful only to lend dignity to
men who otherwise might be undigni-
fed. This dignityis traditional rather
than real. .Bridegrooms, undertakers
and members of congress need all the
dignity they can command. So they
keep the silk hat handy.
Spring, which brings the straw hat,
II welcomed by men. since 1t removes
the hideous necessity of wearing other
sorts OF hats. The strawlfst rouses
dim memory in the blood Of the days
of garlands. It may be worn with a
bright band. On the whole. 1t makes
life little easier for those who
haven't the courage to go without hats
at all. =
