The man of the future sat patiently darn
ing the family socks. From time to time
his mild blue eyes glanced YEARLY at the
pile of mending at his elbow. and he sighed
as he thought of the raw Irishman in the
kitchen, who needed incessant instruction
IN the simplest details of culinary art. Two
noisy, sturdy girls, as aggressive as became
their sex, romped merriy about the sewing
room. aggravating his headache: while
their gentle little brother sat quietly by his
fathers side. studying the pictures in al,
old book of bygone fashions which he had
found. and which appealed, of course, to
the instincts of the miniature man.
Look, father!'' he said, pointing to an
old print of the year 1S9O--"see what queer
clothes that man has on! What are they
Did men really wear them?''
Yes. dear said his father laying down
his needle for a moment and bending over
the page-"I never saw any: but father
once told me that grandfather wore them
when he was boy. They called them pam
falcons"
