If women are assuming masculine
attire-and they are-in shirts, and ties,
and caps, the men are cleverly turning
the tables in the femininity of their
summer sashes and broad -brimmed
sailor hats The styles from their ap.

they are meant for pretty boys or pretty
girls But they are not meant for
either. They are for men.
Nearly every fair day one can see a
bit of boy on West Eighth street,
carrying a much mutilated doll One
eye Is missing and part of the hair,
which is no more haxen than his own,

1t as tenderly and croons over it as softly
as young mother, with her first babe,
and provokes many smile by his odd
little fancy.
