THE TANDEM.
This is a Hat wherein is displayed a good deal of what may be termedcharacter;for which reason, itsbecomingwearers, comparatively speaking, will be few in number; but notwithstanding thismarkedpeculiarity, there is a sort ofstylein its general feature which is uncommonlystriking;nor is there any form whatever, where so much of that airy lightness is to be seen, as in the Tandem. Few persons overthirtybecome this Hat, and none undertwenty, and evenbetweenthose ages, if the head be more than twenty-two inches, or less than twenty-one and a half in circumference, the whole effect is destroyed. Shape of the face immaterial, provided the complexion is nottoodingy; but, above all things, neitherovergrownor littlefatgentlemen should wear the Tandem. To have the best effect when on the head, it should be placed rather forward, inclining a little to one side.
