ADoDGE IN NECKTIEs.
II notice that you have not made any
mention of neckties as an item in your eSti-
mate"
Perhaps it was hardly fair to leave those
out, but neckties have always been a special
hobby with me and regard them as a sort
OF extra. l don't think any man In Wash
lngton wears handsomer necktieS than L do,
and L pay very little for them, too. Even
If were rich man l should never think o.
going to the haberdasher's, as most men do,
and buying neck scarfs for 81 80 or more
apiece. The ones made up and lined-I
don't mean ready tied-are particularly IN
desirable, for the reason that the slightest
epOt, WHICH Is sure 10 COIIlo hlUST q very lew
wears; renders them useless. My neckties
are gotten up on more scientific principles,
and | strongly recommend them
to youth in general who have a fancy for
| effective neck gear. There is no part of
the dress better worthy of attention, for
the necktie is, as you might say, the center

was going to say, go to dry goods shop
and pick out some handsome silk, either
plain or with some inconspicuous pattern,
and buy yard of it. Usually |

are hemmed to keep them from raveling.
and the neckties are finished. l simply fold
the necktie into shape when l am about to

A yard of lovely silk is only 81 %, which
is what the two necktieS have cost; pretty
cheap, too, if you will notice how long they
last. Very pretty India silk comes at IS cent
a yard, and it does admirably for the pur-
pose, washing very well any number Of
times A modest but not cheap-looklne
little scarf.pin, stuck in the upper right

else, will complete a most satisfactory
