whether they will refuse credit
OF risk losing their trade. They were
out yesterday Just the same, and sad to
relate, there seemed to be a general
sameness about their makeup. The
beautiful spring weather will bring out
these feathers of ST. Paul life in all their
brilliancy, and the dear public must
suppress it's impatience for little while
yet.
The boys are anxiously awaiting Sam
Gilbert's appearance. He is probably
the most bowling swell in ST. Paul. He
apes the English and is certainly an
elegant dresser. He usually wears a
big pipe in his mouth and might be
taken for an English lord, but he isn't.
Luther Newport is not very far be-
hind. In addition to his baggy trousers,
low-cut vest with willOwy waist, he
generally wears bunch of viOlets in
his coat. If toboggan suits required
cOffee-sack pants, he would rather have
winter remain.
Ed Scribner's photograph is said to
adorn New York fashion plate. This
may and may not be true, but at any
rate he dresses splendidly and is given
credit for good taste. II the fashion

Ed would not wear one.
George LangeVin always has the best
material the market affords, but some
one was mean enough to say that his
clothes were cut with an ink-eraSer.
He is said to have taste, but after sew
eral hours of hard work the GLOBE re-
porter Yves unable to trace this report to
reliable source.
Fred Sibley usually wears dark
clothes. He always dresses in the latest
fashion, but with extremely good taste.
He never looks gaudy.
Mr.. Bickel. Jr., invariably looks neat.
His clothes are always made OF the best
material and fit him well. He inheritS
good taste and is modest.
Mr.. Bryant, of the Merchants bank,
always dresses in the heighth of fash
ion, and even wears a loW-cut vest at
work. He cuts quite figure, tits said,
at the watering places. He might be
called dude.
Frank Blair is another admirer of
winter for the reason that he is the
proud pOssessOr of sealskin coat. In
summer he goes about in flannel
shirt, that is, of course, in connection
with one or two other articles of wear
ing apparel. He is stuck on careless
grace"
John Langton, of the Clarendon, is

dress.
n One of the most fashionable men in
town is "Billy" Tease. He keeps up.
with the style at all times, and has to
do it in his business.
Jim Gilfillan would really like to be a
dude. His clothes are always of the
most elegant material, but seem to have
been cut with a tack hammer. 1t is
suggested that he never wears his neck
tie in the right place and is often guilty
of putting his shoes on the wrong feet.
TITS said that one morning he put on
his trousers wrong and started to 60 TO
work. but soon found himself in the
suburbs.
Lawson Lindsey looks we'll from the
waist up, but a little birdie gives it out
that his trousers are shaped with a
grindstone. This has not yet been con-
tirmed.
l.. N. Scott, of the Grand, always
looks neat. Men in his business are
usually very fiashy in their dress, but
Lou displays good taste and always
wears black. His clothes are always
ried too.
E. j. Kirk is very stylish and
quite English, b. George. Not only
does he keep pace with the
style, but has good taste. Two such
qualities combined are only rare in
stances in st. Paul. This is saying
nothing else about him.
Prof. r. n. Evans is as English as his
tailor can make him, and always has a
cap made out of his clothes. No one
ever saw his suit on account of the cape
overcoat being always tightly buttoned.
They do say that his bedroom set is
painted in check figure, and that each
year he receives a photograph of the
Prince of Wales.
Mcclure Bros. believe in the antique,
and wear two low plug hats that re-
semble two fried eggs. Their clothes
are also antique. They are inseparable.
and have their trousers numbered to
prevent mistakes.
Billy Trombley is quite a dude. He
dresses well and occasionally appears
in white duck. He makes two changes
day, and has telephone connection
with his tailor. Even his necktie fits,

George Chase is dudish and is quite
English in his trowsers.
w. d. Album. of the Northern Pa
cific, is a great dresser. He usually
wears black in memory of the carpen-
ter that made his trowsers, and is quite
proud of his personal appearance.
