To begin with, you needn't worry about last
years dress suit; it's all right for the coming
season. says the Haberdasher. There are men
who will wear the Tuxedo tailless ''dress'' coat
and the black sash for evening dress, Just as
there are men who will wear sombreros and
green neckties; but our advice to you is
Don't. If you want to be well dressed, avoid
experiments and stick to accepted gentilities.
Don't be either . dude or a sloven, and to
avoid being either wear q dress suit Of plain
black throughout, with no marked departure
from the shape which has so long prevailed in
evening dress. You don't need a shawl collar,
nor white silk vest nor embroidery down the
sides of your trousers-you can have any or all

but you are sure to be in good taste il you

West End Joe.

From the Atlanta Journal
That's West End Joe," said q street-car
driver, pointing to a long-legged mule of the
hump-backed variety, which was ambling along
IN front OF Wheat street car.
Joe used to belong to the West End and At

he's daisy when he feels little off, Many's
the time I've seen him kick the gzzard outn
fly sitting up under the roof over the plat
form. One day his liver, Joe's mean not the
fys, was out Of killer and the first hill he came
to he created little amusement for the pas
sengers. He bumped his back and histed his
long legs up and sent them flying through the
glass door. The glass flew over the passengers
like hail stones and in about two seconds and a
half by my Waterbury he had unloaded that
car Of every blessed passenger.
Another time Joe got his hump up about
the time put on brakes and stopped the car
He wanted to 60 on to the stable but held him

shoulder, took sight at the break and let fly
