the great discontinue Of would be, al
bfters of fashion, but without Worrying

the last great European strongholds
OF formality to give in before what

Men have to wear hats" said a
prominent halter on the bOulevards
but they don't have TO wear top hats
The top hat still is worn 10y Europeans
for solemn functions and there is no
noticeable falling off in its vogue for
such purposes. 1t is due to American
influence, however, that the top hat Is
no longer worn to the theater, con-
certs, dances and other evening amuse-
ments. Personally | think ii is fol
the best. Most men look absurd in
top hats, anyway. A soft dark hat
will do just as well, OF the derby
