education that he should have been taught
to tie his own neckwear. To that end there
have been established in Paris and London
by gentlemeE's Wallets schools where the
various knots will be taught for a reason
able fee. For long time there existed in
Lond ON place where the swells were wont
to go in the morning and have their scarfs
adjusted in the latest mode.
1t is not an infrequent occurrence for men
who could never tie their own neckwear to
drop into Budd's, Neweil's. or Kaskel's.
and have the correct knotting made about
their necks by one Of the skilled and oblig-
ing statesmen. Indeed, l am informed that
there are several Of those fine clubmen of
the old school that so relish the appearance
of straight scarf, and who cannot master
the art OF self-tying It, that they have the
De Joinville tied on to their taste of pre-
clslon, or neglige, the scarf pin inserted.
and then the tie cut at the middle of the
back Of the collar and rejoined by the addi-
ton OF buckle and strap.
A well-known Broadway furnisher adopts
this method in securing all of his specially
made-to-order goods. He ties the scarf on
his own neck, then cuts the band behind
and sends the design to the manufacturer as
a sample If it is faithfully copied he is has
a made-up scarf in exact reproduction of
self-tied neckwear.
1t is n lamentable fact that there is large
proportion of men with an inclination to be
well dressed. who either cannot, or think
they cannot, Tie their own neckwear. This
proportion will, of course, in time be re-
duced, but considerable may say DOM
inant-portion OF non-tieable masculinity
will still remain. There are some men who
could never learn, under any kind of tuition,
how to tie the simplest KNIT They may be
likened to that not inconsiderable quota of
educated men in the community whose or
biography is constitutonally imperfect.
But these men. who know what is right,
That best OF all, will gloss over their lack
of skill.
Meanwhile the swels of all the swells
are narrowing the souls of the non-tieable
contingent by not only tving their own
scarfs and cravats, but tying them crookedly
enough to show aggressively that they are
tied by themselves. The white cravats of
evening wear are now tied by the swagger
types IF the jeunesse doree in regular X

Their glee of absolute immunity and Sc
curity from imitation will not last long,
however. IL they make this fad an accepted
vogue, for then the aStute neckwear manu.

lar tyings in beautiful exactitude, after their

KNEELING OR AT FULL LENGTH.
A Controversy as to How Charles L
Submitted Himself to the Axe.
Eugene Field IN the Chicago Neus.

Eugene Field liz the Chicago Nelps
Certain scholarly and ingenious gentlemen
in England are discussing the much-vexed
question as to whether Charles l., when he
submitted himself to the executioners' ak
lay at full length upon the scaffold or simply
bent over and rested his neck upon the
block. ItseemS that this discussion has been
precipitated by the exhibition in the ROYAL
academy Of picture 10y Ernest Croft
representing the gloomy scene at Whitehall,
Jan. 80, 1919. The artist has represented
the king kneeling and bending his head for
ward upon the block.
R +. ID. Falgrave was the first to protest
that this attitude was not assumed by
Charles at the last moment. ION the con
