FASHION IS AGAINST MEN.
II is not because n man does not wish
10 be beautiful: It is because fashion and
not nature is against him There is Tom
Debutant. in all the gony Of his dress
suit. and for unadulterated business, from
the end of a w0Xed mOustache TO the toe
Of q patent-eather pump, or the irac-
| tional section Of a white cuff below
| coat-sleeve-which only serves 10 make
| his hands look large and red-he has
| bothered more about his clothes than his
| sister
Mark the difference when she enters,
robed I'm white. and not a simple white

Tom may be modelled like Apollo; by

since as a serpent ne hypnotized Mother
Eve. he has gone relentless on his way.
or is it that woman is really weaker ana

THE DANGEROUS MAN.
There is another kind of man who is
dangerous. because, somehow the wo-
