Tho Well Dressed Man

Inefe IS certain professor in Ger
tain university of the United States who
once, at the beginning of one of his lee
lures on me arts, got on tho subject of
tho KIND OF pins worn in the neckties of
young college men. He was Il good lee
turcr and was always interesting. Int
TINS lecture was tho most interesting of
his course to tho 500 boys who heard
him, and the whole hour was spent on
necktle pms, their use and misuse aud
what they suggested. The gist of what
he said was that there was no more
reason why boy should wear q horse
shoe with II whip across it all in gold
than that houses should have sieves for
roofs, and that us it was extremely
foolish to put big sieve OH your house
for roof so it was quite as foolish to
wear horseshoes OH your neckties. Tho
principle OF this is that you should have
reason Ill what you wear as we'll as in
other things and that senseless decora-
tlons, like horseshoes on neckties or
neckties on horseshoes, are silly and un-
becoming TO u self respecting person.
This particular example was only ono
to illustrate n principle, which is that
nothing unusual, queer, out of the or
binary, Is i'll itself good thing-that
III fact, most things that are queer and
out OF the ordinary are likely. in the
question of dress. to be in bad taste. A
man S dress ought to be quiet, but it
must be clean and well taken care of in
every instance. The best dressed man is
the man who, i'll whatever company he
finds himself, is inconspicuous; who.
you realize i'll an indefinite way, is we'll
appointed, though you cannot we'll tell
why. -Harper's Round Table.

Among other suggestions for summer
