| pIcon of bagging at the knees Of his
trousers, the coat is wrinkled about the
arm-holeS and sagging a little at the
! shoulders Collar and shirt front struggle
to test the stability of starch. Still as he
sits and fans himself with a white hem
stitched handkerchief, he looks the best
dressed man in the house.

| expensive material and in all particulars
| appropriate to the temperature. 1t is of a

| which he drives little puHs of air with
Chinese fan. He smiles as he fans, and his
| white tie is undisturbed
