O'Neil, the tailor, was talking to me the
other day upon subject which should
interest a good many people about this
time Of year. About once in so long you
must change your style OF raiment 10 con-
form to the prevailing custom. III you

between yourself and your tailor. You

had occasion to go in the Conrad build
ing the other day. While there 1 called
on Prof. Herman Mueller, the well-known
instructor of German in the High School
and Hans Schneider the eminent
musical director and teacher. Both OF
these gentlemen are principals in their re-
spective departments in the Rhode Island
School OF Languages. Now ii is not so much
of these two gentlemenI wish to speak as
to impress the reader who may chance to
see this reference that in this school the
young man or woman who contemplates
adding to their accomplishments that OF
music and languages the opportunity Is
offered. New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia or Boston could offer none better.
These gentlemen are known here. They are
no strangers. Parents who desire to give
their children . thorough training in all
that pertains to art, music, language,
painting and oratory may do SO by avail
ing themselves Of the advantages of the
school referred to. You might send for

notice how quick you can tell the truly
successful business man and the one who
Is making bluff? The difference is as
noticea bic as between diamond and paste.
just as was about to cross the street l
noticed gentleman who is most favor
ably known, with most enviable business
record, unostentatious, and as smooth as
new glass. Success has not turned his
head or puffed him up with false pride or
made him forget old time friends. You
see his name announced every few days
in the papers as being instrumental in
consumating business between interested
parties.
Do you follow me?
Well, when replied to his CHEEKY saluta-
tion and pleaded prior engagement W hen
asked to join him at dinner, thought to
myself OF o good many things which
cannot properly introduce at this time
Then my thoughts reverted to the busi-
ness In which he Is engaged, and l said,
" What's the matter with my interview
ing him and gaining some useful informa-
tion at the same time?" / stepped into
!1lling ghast's, whore he had gone with a
friend, and made an engagement for

happened.
Up on the top floor of the Vaughn build
lug found my man who was so busy that

get down to business and in 20 minutes
