A Young " tmaH Ci Observation Says Thai
 Such soieesms Are Common
 It is surprising, said young wo. man of observation, "how near some of you men fellows eeasn to being properly dressed and don quito got there. I've heard Il good deal of talk and read q good deal of writing about the fine art of dressing well, but my idea is that it's just question of tho preservation of the entities. It's just liko apple sauce with roast pork and currant jelly with canvasback duck-the proper thing goes with tho proper thing Yet man may be letter perfect i'll his condiments, ol may have q fit at seeing water colol i'll velvet frame, and still wear silk hat and sack coat. Oh, you needn't laugh. l ye seen it, not only on Broad. way on q Saturday night, but have seen 1t on Fifth avenue on a Sunday morn ing Yes, and worse than that l saw ono young fellow going to church with two swell girls, he wearing black silk hat and brown sack suit. Now. do you know l cali that impious.
 ''There are two other sins of attire that men are often guilty of-one a sin of commission, wearing all overeoat with q straw hat, and the other q sin of omission, wearing an overcoat aud no gloves These things are done all the time iil their season, and yet you sin. ners i'll costume think it good joke to see woman i'll white gloves and mackintosh--and so 1t is.
 There's another thing you men get woefully mixed up over-spats and gal ters. Any fool girl knows that the gaitef.' is used for warmth, and therefore is q part of winter costume, while the spat was designed as an article for sum mer attire to keep tho bottom of tho light trousers from being soiled by black shoes. It is quite as awful a solecism to wear spats with dark trousers as it is to wear a gaiter over a tan shoe, yet both are committed constantly here in New York, and by mon who ought to be ashamed of themselves for not knowing or not doing better,
 And, talking of tan shoes you never will convince me that it's either correct or convenient to wear t;m shoes in win ter or in stormy weather. That's the time for rubbers, and goloshes over tan shoes src an incongruity that gives me the horrors. It's tho same sort of dc. based taste that leads man to peril his soft palate by using cigar holder or that leads him to outrage decency by sticking cravat pin in sailor knot And dont t think for one instant that all tho rest of HIS don't observe these things inst as l do. If mans dress is trig and trim from top to toe we admire him, even if he's as homely as sin-that is, as sin is supposed to be--but if he mixes the seasons or falls down i'll tho nicer details of completeness we have om little sncer at him after he's gone, even though he's as good looking as yon'tl 1 like to be, New York Sun.
 DAWSON'S MARROW ESCAPE. He Couldn't Be Expelled From n No Work
 Club For Obvious Iseasons.
 Bailey Dawson was in danger of be- ing expellea from tho Society of Chris tian Repose. The object of the society, as its nanie indicates. Is to discourage | endeavor of any character. and its mem bers, who comprise such well known [ old residents as Colonel A. M. Babcoek, | A. N Kellogg founder of the newspa- per publishing concern; Frank Parme- [ lee of tho bus line, and others arc men who think they have done their work in life and now only ask for rest They meet at the Grand Pacific hotel and do not even talk much, preferring to sit in the easy chairs in the rotunda and look at each other
 But last week Colonel Babcock brought q serious charge against Bailey. He said he had gone to work; what is more. he had the evidence to prove it.
 Things looked really baslly for Bai- ley. The work WAS no harder than that involved in drawing the pay attached to political office, but it was work, and he could not deny it. So he took refuge in technicalities MT. Kellogg was trying the case, and to him Bailey mado this plea:
 If it pleases the court" he said, .the members of this society must not do any work of any kind?'
 They must not, replied Colonel Babcock sternly.
 They should not indulge in any kind Of effOrt!
 Certainly not, again interjected the colonel
 They cannot consistently take action of any description?'
 They assuredly cannot 7
 Then, said Bailey triumphantly,
 would like to know how they ars going to expel q member; that means action And President Kellogg sus- fained him, holding that it would be tmposible constitntionally to even take
 zefe on tho charges. Chicago Trib-
