A STYLISH YOUNG MAN.
How He Dresses Like a Gentleman on a
Moderate Income.

How He Dresses Like Gentleman on a
Moderate Income.
One youth said to another as they sat in
club window: 81 wish, my boy, | could
look one-half as well as you do all the time.
Somehow you always seem better dressed
than any man l know. Now, you don't
keep valet, and hardly think you spend
more money for clothes than | do; but l
simply am not in the same class with you
in the matter of dress. Give me some point
ers on how you do it."
The speaker was young man of wealth,
who spent very nearly as much on personal
adornment as the entire income of the other
amounted to, his friend being particularly
impecunious member of fashionable society.
Il can tell you very easily" replied the
latter to the rich youths query. "hOw |
manage, though it will do you 10 great good
to know, for l work on strictly economic
principles, and you never would. The only
claim that should ever care to make con-
cerning my clothes is that they are well
taken care of. fairly conserved, in fact. l
have reduced the art of dressing on small
expenditure to weariSome but necessary
science. Let me- tell you the most import
ant items in a genteman's get-up. They
are his hat, his shoes and his gloves. Let
man be physically clean, let him wear
good hat, bright shoes of fine quality and
can be pretty rusty without any one MOTTO
ing it.
IL have Just two whole suits a year. aud
they cost me $50 each. l wear both my
winter and my spring OvercOat four years.
They are good coats to begin with, mind
you. and | have them touched up with new
buttons and binding when they need fur
bishng; but they last me the time | say,
and, naturally enough, they do not look
spick and span in the highest lights. My
suits also get little queer before shed
them, but they are always plain and dark,
and by the aid of two or three extra pairs of
trousers | make them do. Now | couldn't
carry out this degree of economy in my hats,
gloves and shoes, for il | did | would look
shabby. | never try to make hat do after
it begins to look ashamed of itself, and am
almost eXtraVagant in my gloves and shoes.
Another item that l do not curtail myself on
is my linen. l always wear good linen aud
rich ScartS, though l don't plunge on these
as l do on my gloves and shoes. l pay about
$50 dozen for my shirts and 81 for scarf,
but my shoes cost me S12 a pair and my
gloves S3, My entire expense for dress is
absurdly small, mpaTatlvely speaking,
and all because economic in large ways.
To the members of the shabby genteel, of
which admirable fraternity | must at pres
ent confess myself part, | would say that
the way to deceive tho world about ones
personal appearance most effectually is t0
devote large share OF ones income to buy
ing good hats, shoes, gloves and linen.
Then, aided by brush-brOOm and the small
repairing tailor who keeps shop on the
side street. ones entire outfit may be kept
stylish and fresh enough to call forth fiat
