Brooklyn writer, that men are above

women are interested in them. This

claimed that clothes have more effect

Make a man get into seedy, wornout

discussion by reading paper entitled

passage will give an idea OF his point

New Testament traditions, Jesus was
born Jew, lived Jew, died Jew |
found that the thought of establishing
n new belief, or even new sect,
was furthest from his mind; that his
aim was not TO follow after the
hcNthens, but to seek out the lost
sheep of the house OF Israel, found
that his mission seemed to he to unfit
the lowly and to expose wiCkednoss In
high places. found that he gave his
heart, his soul and his very being to the
poor, to the sick and to the needy He
said: l am not come to heal the sound:

that he was n man of unhOunded

A ROMANTIC ROGUE.
Social Highwayman Caressed Louise
Bignon Only to Rob Her.

\ form in the gaslght, a kiss in the
dark and Mile. Louise Bignon and her
Jewels had parted company. At
least that is the substance of the young
woman's testimony in a Paris court,
and there is no doubt that the young
woman tells the truth, for her frank
ness is startling.
Mile. BignOn is the fancee Of VI. Paul
Lombard. young man well known
about town. She is one of those tall,
magnificent blondes, stylish and in
the first bloom of youth. SO proud
was her lover of his conquest that he
had showered all sorts Of fine presents
upon her, and her diamonds were the
admiration of all who beheld her.
The other night Lombard took his
promised wife to performance at La
Scala, one of the most famous music
halls in Paris and the two occupied a
box. As the night was close and
warm they left the door open-and
therein lies a moral.

are now the fads of the moment.
These cravats, says Gibson's Clothing
Gazette, are made from huge neCker-
chiefs and are cut so that the border
forms an edging to the apron of the
cravat. In ties the soft madras cloths
and the rumchundas are the most pop
ular and modish fabrics. The former
is made up into a broad end bow and
the latter Is made into folded in,
broad, Windsor-like bow. The ties
and imperials are worn with the high
banded turn-down collar and the
neglige shirt. OF course these are for
waistcoatless suits.
The man who doffs his waistcoat
must be careful to have perfect fitting
trousers, for he must go suspenderless.
The belt should be narrow and as
dorsey" as possible. The half hose of
the most vivid patterns is now very
fashionable. There seem to be evil
dences that point to a return to The
Scotch plaid effects. For dress the
black silks with self or neat contrast
ing vertical bars or instep clocking are
best. For wear with tan shoes the
vivid toned combinations in vertical or
horizontal stripes spots and figures
give one an ample field for selection.
Embroidered monographs are new
and useful fad. A swell haberdasher
recommends them for every article of
wear. A lot of goods prepared for a
young club man has the undershirts
marked on one side near the waist line.
The drawers were marked on one side
of the band. The shirts had the mono
gram on about two inches from the
outer edge of the lower part OF the
bosom. Small disks, overstitched with
silk with the monogram in the center
were sewn to the half hose, close to the
top. Small circular-like bits Of linen
with wavy edges embroidered with silk
had the monogram on in silk, and were
sewn to the handkerchief. On the era
watts the monographs were embroidered
in silk near the point in the apron.
This is quite a novel idea. and bache-
Tors who depend on outside laundries
will hail the innovation with delight.
