Tho Limited stock In Trade OF "a Young
Man of Fashion.
II apparently takes very little for a
young man TO make n hit when he dis.
plays himself Mt u summer hotel.
81 had very successful ten days Of
it down at the Branch" said rather
ordinary-loolsing youth to a friend the
other day.
did you strike en- in the old way?"
asked the friend.
Yes" was the reply. "Just bouton-
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, "rhcrc isn't any use of
Il chap with small income TO at.
tempt to go the full limit at place
like the Branch, / can't go it blind on
the hotel and wardrobe both, so l study
out the thing so as to get all can for
my money.

room in a fashionable hotel. You may
as well stay at home as go to second

real high-toned gayeties of the place.
"Well, after l get my expense of

II you do the swell thing all through.
Variety is absolutely necessary

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 / do? Why, work a
grand fake-a careful game of bluff.
And do it with trousers and bouton-
nieres. That's the result of u long study
on my part.
II can get just as many effects with
ten pairs of trousers as can with ten
full suits, and 1 can buy beautiful
trousers at Ss pair by getting the cloth
at a wholesale place and having my
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 is

pair of trousers with it I'm really &

of the weakest men with all the rest O.
my apparel that you ever saw.

Now, there's my way of getting or
