Ways of Wearing Cuffs.

1t is quite interesting to study the diff
ferent ways men have of wearing their
cuffs. A certain class of men always
wear the largest size they can buy, and
another class get those bat little larger
than their wristbands.
AS rule, the small, weazen-faced
man wears the largest cuffs. He gener-
ally gets No. IL and always allows them
to come down over his hands.
The fat man generally wears small
cuffs and rarely has them in sight. An
other conspicuous character is the man
who always keeps his little finger
sprawling around in the attempt to
push his cuff up where it belongs.
Examine his hand closely and you
will find small callous on the outer
edge of his little finger. Why does he
persist in wearing them in this way ?
He realizes that it looks untidy and that
they are an annoyance to him, yet you
could not induce him to have his shirt
sleeves made any shorter or to wear
sleeve supporters, says the Buffalo En-
quirer.
Then again you meet the man who
always wears the 'cuff machine" an
ingenious continuance that attaches the
cuff to the shirt sleeve and may be
raised or lowered at will.
Next comes the man who saves his
laundry bill by reversing his cuffs and
the man who has them joined to his
shirt sleeves
