BOUTONNlERS AND TROUSERS

Tho Limited Stock in Trade OF YOUNG
Man Ut Fashion.
1t apparently takes very little for q
young man to make hit when Re dis.
plays himself at summer hotel.
Il had very successful ten days OF
1t down at the Branch" said a rather
ordinary-looking youth to a friend the
other day. !:
did you strike 'em in the old way??'
asked the friend.
''Yes," was the reply. "Just boutoa-
nieres and trousers; nothing more.''
An outsider inquired what was meant
by this.
Caught the girls on boutonnieres
and trousers, you know" said the
young man. ''There isn't any use Of
chap with small income to at.
tempt to go the full limit at place
like the Branch, can't 20 it blind on
the hotel and wardrobe both, so study
out the thing so as to get all can for
my money.
First. I get the cheapest possible
room in fashionable hotel You NAV
as we'll stay at home as 20 to second
class house if you want to join in the
real high-toned gayeties Of the place.
well, after l get my expense Of
board fixed, then must turn my atten-
ton to my wardrobe. Now, you must
know what a seashore wardrobe means
if you do tho swell thing all through,
Variety is absolutely necessary.
1T is the kaleidoscope young man
who plays the large part in the summer
hotel. And what chance should have
to compete with some of the winners?
None So what do l do? Why, work q
grand fake--a careful game of bluff.
And do it with trousers and bouton.
nieres- That's the result of a long study
on my part.
II can get just as many effects with
ten pairs of trousers as can with ten
full suits, and can buy beautiful
trousers at SO a pair by getting the cloth
Mt wholesale place and having nv
little tailor to make them for me.
Then l want black cutaway coat
for evening and blue serge sack for
ordinary wear. The blue serge sack il
the daisy. Every time put q fresh
pair OF trousers with it I'm really .
brand.new figure. l have an extraor~
binary number of trousers and am one
of the weakest men with all the rest Of
my apparel that you ever saw. =
Nov, to draw attention from tho
blue sergeness of my coat, 1 utilize the
boutonniere. There's nothing like .
bunch of flowers to burnish up a coat
and make it look as though it had lust
been sent home. -.
Nov, there's my way Of getting ON
economically, and bet / cut {. bi9por
figure on less money than any one YOU
know. Did the girls admire nv stvle7
Well, now, my friend, the feminine en-
thusiasm l created was the subject of
much remark. I don't mind telling you
that there was one, a perfect blonde,
that I am all but engaged to ~ = result

And what do you suppose the young
lady's first remark to me was after We
were introduced? + 5s5*
''She said: DO you know that your
