with his magnifcence. He was I'M
fortunate enough to spoil a suit of
clothes out hunting and had recourse
to the local tailor for another outfit.
There was a great TODD over the gar
ments. The entire town knew of the
preparations. The millionaire's meas
urements were obtained from his De-
troit tailor, and if business were an
available factor in clothes making the
suit should have been perfect. When
finished, however, the suit was skin
tight. The millionaire fastened to the
tailor and threatened a suit. GO
