to be, that is, where they ought to be on the
men. But there must be momenSs when a
woman's suspenders hang from her waist
Fancy the graceful sweep OF her arms as she
raises them; try to imagine the lovely curves as
she carefully puts them in place.
The first and most natural result Of the
women's appropriation Of this article Of ap-
parel is that some young men are embroidering
suspenders for their sweethearts. That 10 al
most too painful for contemplation. But, IL
they will do it, the young men should be very
careful in their choice Of notices to embroider.
Suppose such q weak-minded youth should en-
broider II love You" in blue silk on his girls
suspenders and then the suspenders should
break after the word 'love" That would double
the Young woman's woes, for not only would
she have pair Of broken suspenders to grapple
with. but also the question, Whom does he
love?" Perhaps nothing could unite them-the
suspenders. Again, although blue is always the
color Of true affection, the young man must
observe bis lady loves complexion and her
habit Of dress before choosing the silk for his
embroidery. Thus there will be many such
symphonies in color as that girl in Philadelphia
with red hair, red suspenders and red shoes.

walk up to the first man he sees, turn his back
to him and ask his help. II he knows the other
man he says: sold fellow, I've busted nv
galluses. Yank 'em down, will you?" If he
does not know him he is, of course, more dis
tant-that is, in his speech. He may say some
thing like this: ''Oblige me, sir, by drawing
down my suspenders. As you see, they re
broken And the other fellow. who it's ten
thousand to one wears suspenders himself, has
fellow-feeling and obliges.
Now. there is, perhaps, the simplest method
and the easiest to learn. Any woman can say:
''Oblige me, sir, by drawing down my suspend
ers. AS you see, they're broken" 1t may be
that the mans hand NAV tremble bit. but
there will be thatfellow-feeling still, and he will
certainly obiige.
If a mans suspender buttons fly off when the
rupture between his suspenders and his trous-
ers comes he has last resort that may be stated
first as being the most discomforting to a man.
He can take off his suspenders and walk on the

"rHE DEUCE TAKE THE HoRRID THINGS"
Men have used Irvine since twine has been
made, and tied their suspenders down. But,
there again men had the advantage Of the fact
that their suspenders were hidden. What
woman would walk down the street with her
suspenders tied to her silk dress? She'd pin
'em first, but pins would not hold ON man.
Instead Of pinning his suspenders he has always
nailed them, II need be, with temporary nails.
But it's doubtful if the expedient Of cutting
with a jack knife a new buttonhole in u @1O0
gown will be generally adopted by women.
Whatever they do, however, when their sus-
penders rise to their shoulder blades they viii
find it better than to try to grasp them The
woman who pursues her suspenders up her own
back will, after assuming a number Of ridicu-
lous postures, wind up by standing on her head,
a position repugnant to polite society.
Here Is another important point: Women may
rs well come to the same conclusion ~ have
men, that it is generally useless to try to repair
q broken pair OF suspenders when the leather
when that leather attached to the ring in the
back, from which the suspenders .radiate, gives
way, it's all up with the suspenders They may
sew that leather, they may clamp it, they may
renfore It with steel chains, II they like but L
won't hold anything thereafter. That's ono Of

known to ft another. Soitwil be useless II they
wear real true" suspenders, for women to pre-
serve their buckles exceptas curios. The buckles
may be graved like those old Italian cups and

those with which they were bought. The sus-

heel OF his trousers. But woman would hate
to do that. That is, she would hate to take off
her suspenders, for, strangely enough she wears
them for show, most osten atiously, proudly,
delightedly. with an air that says palmer than
words: BE kind enough TO observe, have
taken another step toward the emancipation of
the SEX" Some women, indeed choose the
gaudiest colors for their suspenders. If man
were to wear suspenders as loud as theirs he
would not be able to hear himself think For
example. all Philadelphia was delighted
the other day by the sight of red
headed girl wearing red suspenders and
pair of red shoes. Men, on the
other hand, hide their suspenders. If they
don't wear vests, a good many of them wear
sashes to conceal the awkward ends of their
ugly straps.
If man does not take off his broken sus-
penders he makes an effort to repair them.
Human ingenuity has exhausted itself in this
direction.
