The Origin of the Sash.

The broad sash which the young
Spanish and Mexican origin, and, as
worn by the greaser dude of the Rio
Grande, is broad scarf tied at the
side with flowing ends. Since they
have become fashionable with the
American youth the tying in some in
stances is dispensed with, and the
sash, which presents a broad front, is
a delusion and snare, and, like the
butterfly necktie, is made up and fin
isheS in the back, where it is concealed
by the coat, in small belt and buckle
to keep it on. For the young man
whose shape does not allow of his get
ting along without the use of suspend
ers, the sash is not "a thing of beauty
or a Joy forever" If he ties his sash
tight enough to keep his trousers in
place it will collapse and be like a limp
string in size, and if he allows its broad
folds to encircle his abdomen loosely
then he is in mortal fear that his
trousers will drop off, so he is never
entirely happy. l saw one real sweet
young man the other day, and he had
his sash arranged with sort of martin
gale. The sash was very broad, and
he had his four-in-hand necktie come
down and meet his sash, and pinned to
it with a society pin. l wouldn't be sur
prised if the sash was also pinned to
his trousers, SO that the whole weight
was brought on his neck, for he walked
with a sort of round-shouldered gait.
and didn't look as if he was enjoying
himself btu. Y. Mail and Express.

ing condition. The primary object Of the
republican party in admitting Nevada as
State was to gain two Senators of the Unit.
ed States and one representative in the
House. The Senators have since become d.

still republican. The best thing to do
with Nevada would be to annex 1t to some
other State, and thus wipe II out altogether.
