AUTOGRAPH HATS.
One of the new fads that started with University boys in America is the fashion of wearing autograph bats. The hats are made of white canvas, with stitched brims. Names can be written in ink anywhere on the surface. One of these bad several names of well-known men written upon it. Sentimental young men collect the names of their sweethearts, though this has its drawbacks, because there is always the chance that the last girl will want to know all about the other girls whose names she finds written on the bat before here. The words are usually printed, though script makes a prettier hat and looks less ke an advertising device.
