NOW TO DRESS NEATLY AND sTREIsBEK

have earned for him the title Of "the Baron"
He is always so beautifully dressed and so neat
and careful in his attire that there is no com.
papy In New York In which he would bo eclipsed
by the dross Of others There Would be nothing
in this IL he we're rich man. bht he is not. His
income is very small, and yet he has heavy re-
sponsbilities and lives generously, so that the
wonder OF all who know him ls how he makes
both ends meet. To those who reason natu-
rally the secret is an open Sne. In Paris the
| world might say. "A duchess has taken a fancy
4 to him" In England It world be whispered
| that he draws upon some rich relative. In New
| York the natural explanation would be that he
| is a good manager. and that fs precisely what
| he is, He says OF himself that he has learned
| to dress we'll on what the ordinary clerk spends
! on his clothing. 1t is not ofton that such man
| talks OF how he accomplishbs on q little money
| what is easily done only with wealth. but IL
happened the other day that the Baron talked
freely and frankly about his methods to q
| young friend who found him iust in the mood
STARRING with my hat" said he MY first
rule Is to take care OF II. If(t Is a silk hat
rarely use a brush on 1t. keep it in the best
condition by brushing 1t with pad OF plush.
SILK hats are a luxury, though. They are not
at oil essential; In fact. II they are distinctive
at ALL 1t is in the line Of vulehrity. In Europe
thoy mark the gentleman; In New York the
poor man has to consider tffsir cost and that
is excessive, because a silk hat Is worse than
mono at all IL IL Is out OF style. and the styles
change constantly. l wear derby hats for just
that reason. In five years their shape does not
change materially. Do you know that 1t Is not
necessary to get them in Broadway Tho
derby Of to-day is made precisely the same
shape for Church street or Eighth avenue hat
ters as 1t is for Broadway dealers, and get Q
hat for tlraa laIso, NJ, H.
that you pay five dollars for. i may be
vain enough to take the Church street
label out Of 1t and put in its place little bit of
silk with my initials embroidered in IL, but II l.
do SO it is a bit Of weakness The main point
with derby is, never brush IL with q Jetif1>
brush. No felt hat will stand q stiff prush. {
Wipe it with the sleeve OF an old coat or brush
1t with soft brush, and 1t will last you FIVE
years. But never fail to brush or wipe 1t on
single day. for dust ages hat In dry weather
and stains II in wet.
Never buy a made-up scarf. They are as =
good as any others il you think 80. but men Of
taste do not SO regard them. They are tho
most expensive scarfs after all If you buy o
good scarf to mako up yourself you will find
that it will last dozen times as long as fac
tory article already made up besides keeping
you in good form. scarf that you tie your
self is not always worn In one position. You
can keep on shifting the exposed part around
