COL Tarker is a staid old West side citi-
zen who has made a fortune in land. He is
an arstocrat of the old southern school,
courtly and impressive. His collars are
made in the fashion OF 80 years ago, and his
neckties the same. Withal the colonel is

to yourselfY
Nothing, daughter, nothing. IL have

Sure enough, the colonel had on a new suit
OF clothes. The effect was gorgeous and
startling. The trousers were a loud check,

Of the situation finally overcome the
daughters gravity, and she laughed until
she cried.
"In heavens name father, where did you
get those clothesY she asked, at last.
"Wartz made them. le-he said checks
were stylish, and the cloth came cheap, and
II said | wasn't particular, you know;
never am"
The mild and dignifed old gentleman had
transformed himself into a comic valentine
without knowing il. His faith in Wartz is
now somewhat shaken, and he has donned
