or cheek to swathe up one aof those
Jumps OF delight known as "o1F first
baby With these suits the fancy
waistcoats must be combined, and just
here stick q PIN. 1t used to be said that
you could tell Is gentleman by the tie
he wears. Now the touchstone is the
fancy waistcORt. Not only the material +,
but when he wears it. The cad will be
sure to get things wrong and appear on
the tennis ground with fancy wa ST.
coat. So, too, the "tailor- made man .
quite a different creature from the
tailor made GRID will be sure to wear his
sash with the wrong suit. For instance,
you II see him strut into the ball in
evening dress and a sash! True, he may
wear it with a tailless dress coat, but
only then.
The tennis suit is delightful this sea-
son, not necessarily for tennis playing,
but for the louDging, sweet, do-nothing
existence at summer resorts. / do wish
/ we're a man to wear one just for q
single week. What delightful thing it
must be to kick about, loll, lounge and
loaf around in such free, comfortable
and yielding garb as flannel shirt and
trousers, fancy belt or sash and o short
coat thrown back to let the chest stand
out from the arms the way the Lord in
tended We should carry ourselves.
Now in summer .etiquette, with many
other things, becomes very flabby. You
may appear at a garden party, in your
tennis suit or outing suit, OF drop in at
an afternoon lat home' in the same
rig, especially if you are young and gQoh
looking and appear well in these flannel
arrangements. On the other hand, if
you insist upon it and don t perspire too
freely, you may come like the gentle
man at the head of this column in high
pearl hat and stiff collar, with bouton-
Mere out of compliment TO tine season.
The second cut pictures q very strong
and servioeable outdoor athletic costume,
plain white flannel belted at the waist,
figured stockings, white overgaiters and
Scotch cap. It would be idle TO tell most
men what kind OF neckwesr they should
display, for between you and me, men
are the hardest headed and most stub
born creatures that ever lived, not even
excepting, well, you know.
But TO those who permit others to in
struct them, l would say be careful in
the choice of your ties. Ask some
lady acquaintance what colors go
with your peculiar style of
beauty, and then follow her advice
Don I come into the dining or drawing
room with tie that strikes out from the
shoulder or gives the spectator a pain in
the back Of his head. When your
clothes are dark tighten them up with
bright neckweaa, aud vice versa. Life
is only a series of contrasts. Don't, for
heaven IS sake, wear a made scarf with
your tennis suit or flannel shirt. Be
reasonable. You men talk about osr in
ability to do anything logical. Give US
a specimen of your love of logic and be-
gin with your neckwear. You tell us
women that we must be careful and new
er make our husbands ashamed of US.
That's good advice, but did it ever oc-
cur to you that you might come INTO the
hotel parlor with tie that would make
your mother wish she hadn't? AS a
parting shot, let me say to you that in
your case fine feathers don Z make fine
birds. Some men imagine that $50
tTouserings Will cure vulgar walk. It's
Q sad mistake and an expensive one. A
mans legs are hrs weak points, but he
rarely knows it., and pronenades up and
