men Is to wear ties that are actually tied by
the wearer. A few years ago nearly every

bright in color, want of refinement of per-

than once heard surprise expressed by men
OF authority in matters of dress that so few
of the neckties offered for sale are pretty:
but you must realize the fact that it is the
exceptional person in this world who
has good taste. People say that
there is no such thing as right and
wrong where tastes are concerned; it is
simply a matter of individual Judgment
But contend that beauty is thing abso-
Lutte, and good taste likewise. Good taste
means only that the possessor of it has been
educated up to or was born with the faculty
of experimenting the beautiful. 1t is a
curious fact, which has often come under
my observation, that the person who has
bad taste not only does not perceive that
the beautiful thing in color arrangements,
say, is ter than the ugly thing, but
actually he prefers in nearly every case the
ugly thing, concerning that to be the baauti-
full thing. A woman devoid of taste choos-
ing materials for her dress will select the
ughest every time. OF course we must
cater TO our customers at large as we find

UNDERCLoTHEs, CANES AND STUDS.
"Where does the underclothing you sell
come fromp
From England and the great center for

cloth for which is imported into England
from Ceylon and made up. The silk of
which silk pajamahs are composed is
brought to England in the same way from
India. Tue garments are growing more and
more into popul ar use in this country. In the

things they make in England much better
than we can here. In the manufacture of
dressing gowns, loose undress jackets If all

cannot compete with the British makes.
The imported articles of this sort are much
softer than ours and more comfortable

GAS to canes9
They form a very pretty feature of our
business. The woods of which they are
made are brought by the manufacturers in
New York from all over the known world
There, in that rack, you may see sticks Of
orange from Florida, bamboo from India,
malacca from the Island Of Malacca, coffee
wood from Brazil, stringy hair wood from
Morocco, grape stem from Madagascar,
close-jointed whanghee from China, pink
pal netto, and goodness knows how many
other queer ones. Umbrellas are made
mostly in Philadelphia. They, as well as
the canes, are usually sold by drummers,
who come to us with sample handles, of sill
yer chiefly, to choose from. The shirt
studs, of which we sell so many, are pretty
