MANY VIEW MODEL
Of TRAIL MEMORIAL

Visions Of a long, long trail, chok-
ing dust and restless cattle, the night
attack and stampede, crowded the
memories Of the men who made early
Texas history as they viewed the
model of the statue of the Old Trail
Drivers, exhibited at Gutzon Borg
lum's studio, Friday afternoon and
night.
All who saw the model Joined in
praises of its fidelity to type of men,
horses and cattle: its action and COM
plete symmetry as an Integral part OF
the whole. In fancy one could almost
hear the "thud. thud, tkud," OF count.
ltss hoofs; the straining creak OF
leather; the cries of the drive riders
and the clash of horns, and see again
the weather beaten faces, taut, tense
muscles and steady eyes, that gazed
often into the wide, open spaces, grave
with responsibility.
Mr.. and Mrs. Borglum, assisted by
officials of the Old Trail Drivers as
ISOLATION and invited guests, were
hosts to the members Of the associa-
ton and the public who called. Pho
neers and cattle men from many points
in Texas came to view the model of
the statue that is to be erected to the
memory of the early trail drivers, at
San Antonio.
Jesse d. Perkins and ]. f. Laid
ley, cowboys who posed as models to
Mr.. Borglum, were in the receiving
line, as were Henry Wedemeyer and
Allen Giles, student sculptors, who
assisted Mr.. Borglum.

DERBY HAT TRACED
TO PARSEE HEADGEAR

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The Outfitter,
n journal which deals with mems
fashions in clothes, says that the
bowler or derby hat is to come into
its own again. For many years now
it has had to take second place to
the soft Homburg hat.
The bowler has had quite long
history, for it was in the early
years of the sixteenth century that
one William Bowler, a Southwark
halter, devised the round-crowned
hard felt hat which was also called
the billy-cock or more correctly
the bully-cock, that is. cooked after
the fashion of the DULLES. Possibly
the origin of the bowler may be
found in a similar headgear worn
by the Parsee gentlemen in Bonn
bay.
