Thomas, dressed in his new stag-coat, felt that he was getting along famously. He had some doubt in regard to his straw hat, however, till, after dinner, he saw that his companions were wearing their Panamas. Forbes, the artist, had reached that blasé period when, only upon rare occasions, did he feel disposed to enlarge his acquaintance.
"Did you not see that sign on the gate?" demanded the girl. "I did," he replied, still smiling as he removed his hat, one of Knox's panamas. "And I owe you an apology." She advanced to the top. He noted the riding-crop gripped rather firmly in her clenched hand. "No one is permitted to come up here," she announced, stopping a few feet away. She was quite tall and straight.
Such are mostly occupied by Parsees and Moormen, so that Black Town is not quite so "black" as might seem to the casual reader. The Moormen wear an impossible sort of hat, tall and brimless; others have sensible, broad-brimmed panamas, and some don the picturesque fez so universal in the East.
"That's the kind I mean only all of them don't have whiskers; and some of them wear yachting caps, or panamas, or most anything.... Well, the prince and the princess loved one another, and they got married." "That was nice." "Yes," he added; "for them. But it wasn't for the gnome. You see, the gnome loved the princess, too." "Did she know it?" He shook his head.
In the East a new industry has sprung up, viz., the making of "Panama" hats of bamboo strips or threads. In texture and pliability these hats are said to even surpass the genuine "Panamas," are absolutely impervious to rain, and can be produced at a much lower cost.
The girls adjusted their pretty panamas before the wide mirror while the boys picked up the bags and waited. "Is my hat on right, Allen, or should it be tilted a little more over the left eye?" mimicked Frank, as they watched the girls. "Or, perhaps it should be made to cover my face entirely?" "I think the latter with places for the eyes and nose," said Allen in the same tone of voice.
"But," says the object, "I haven't had a chance to tell you " "Get out you!" snaps Piddie, turnin' on his heel and struttin' off. It ain't the way he talks to parties wearin' imported Panamas and sportin' walkin' sticks; but, then, most of us has our little fads that way.
This initial error naturally dominates the entire book. Let us disregard, my dear Baron, the famous "moral order" of that society which enriches and honors the well-dressed wholesale thieves of the great and little Panamas, the banks and railways, and condemns to imprisonment children and women who steal dry wood or grass in the fields which formerly belonged to the commune.
Broad-brimmed white hats and Panamas, blue-cotton trousers, light-colored stockings, cambric frills, were all here displayed; while upon shirt-fronts, wristbands, and neckties, upon every finger, even upon the very ears, they wore an assortment of rings, shirt-pins, brooches, and trinkets, of which the value only equaled the execrable taste.
It had been tottering on our brows for some time. There was a very hot summer a few years ago which began the revolution. The tyranny of the top-hat became intolerable, and quite "respectable" people began to be seen in the streets with Panamas and straws.
