HOW MEN SHOULD DRESS.

90 ike to see a man well dressed, but
I do hate a dude" Jerome X. Jerome,
the famous author Of Three Men in a
Boat which set half the world %alaughing
says, in one of his books Ct can't think
which one for the life of mel, "a mai
who is not particular about his dress at
twenty will be a s%lovenly, down-at-heel,
unkempt wretch at forty and I really
believe it. I'm a "tailor-made girl' my
self and the next best thing to a tailor
made girl is the "tailor-made man."
Nothing ever gals me so much as "ready-
mades" and "hand-me-downs," and I
have a positive horror of the man who
can't tie a "four-in-hand.'
The other day l went a shopping. I
didn't go to the dry goods stores either,
l went to the men tailors. l dropped into
Mr.. w. Walkers establishment at No.
1913 Second avenue and after I had eX-
planned that l was from The Times and
thus somewhat cleared the way, l pro-
ceeded to overwhelm Mr.. Walker with a
score of different questions about men
and h they ought to wear.
| rightly judged Mr.. Walker was an
authority on the subject. He has just
returned from New York City and simply
knows it ALL" l opened the engagement,
| and fired this the first shot of my repor-
torial career:
II would like to have you tell me. all
about the styles for men and what sort
of clothes they're going to wear this year
will you please?" CThis last sentence
was an addition came very nearly for
getting my youthful vows.)
well now, replied Mr.. Walker, chats
quite a question-it depends a good deal
on what he is, where he is going, and
what he is going to do"
well, now, an ordinary business man."
I suggested. "A respectable citizen like
yourself"
Then I should say that he would want
a double-breasted frock coat for all for
NAL occasions, church, promenade and
afternoon wear nothing can ever take
it's place; you see they're q little shorter
this year, and the skirts nave lost their
bell shape and hang very gracefully over
the hip. We are making them for some
of Seattle's best dressed men. These
vecunias, unfinished serges and clay
worsteds make splendid coats.
Il import these myself from England
and Scotland" went on Mr.. Walker, after
| had nodded my approval. They're the
best in the world, although the Ameri-
cam are coming rapidly to the front as
manufacturers of fine woolenS. The vest
to be worn with the Prince Albert coat
may be of the same material or a fancy
one, just to suit the wearer. Most fancy
vests this year will be double-breasted,
and will have a U-shaped opening"
"But-what about the er-unmention-
ables?" l ventured.
"Oh, yes, of course-well, we are max
ing full suits of course, though many
gentlemen prefer a contrast, and these
fine English, Scotch and Herrinbone pat
terms are in demand. They will be cut

ruler of the nation. This then is the lat
est act in the political opera-bOuffe that
has been played in Samoa for so many
years. Today the islands are aroused to
a high pitch of Indignation at what they
term this violation of their constitutional
rights.
The stories that nave been told of life
in the Samoan islands read more like
fairy tales than actualities, but there can
be no doubt that in many respects it IS
an ideal spot. Robert Louis Stevenson
found it so, and there have been others
who were just as enthusiastic in their ad-
miration for the country. AS to the peo-
pie, the native Samoan is a fine specimen
of robust manhood, tall and of fine mus
cular development. The women are
beautifully formed, and all ave wavy
black hair that is worn hanging down
their back.
While the men are not always prepos-
sessing, as the case Of the bushmen, the
women usually hav pretty faces, beau
tiful teeth, and dark, brilliant eyes, shad-
ed by long lashes. Their facial EXPIRES
sion is habitually pleasant, in old age as
we'll as in youth.
As a race the Samoans scarcely know
what it is to work. Nature has been kind
to them. While they are fishing, or loll-
ing about under the trees she is busy in
producing the material with which they
may satisfy their needs. Breadfruit, ia
no, mangoes, bananas, yams, pigeons,
chickens, sucking pigs, and fish Of all
kinds are always at hand. For milk there
ia the c%ocoanut, for an ovsn there are the

king had raised her to a seat beside him
on his throne. But German greed soon
steprad in and poor Malietoa was hur-
ried into exile, Tamasese being pro-
claimed ruler by the influence of the Ger
man business houses.
Trouble soon followed, however, and 1t
was not long before a revolt against Ia
masese was we'll under way. 1t is not
improbable thai the statement that this
revolt was i~nstigated by English and
American merchants, as against the Ger
mans, was true. At any rate, the oppos-
ing factions had no trouble in obtaining
Instruments of warfare, pewter swords,
gas pipe muskets, and sanded powder be-
ing at the disposal of either leader:
Tamasese was supported by the Ger
mans. the most powerful foreign element
on the island, but, in spite of that, he was
defeated on every hand, and Mataafa
would nave ruled the nation if Germany
had not come with her warships to put
an end to the affair. AS the result, Ma
taafa was sent into exile as a rebel and
old Malietoa Laupepa brought back to
rule again.
The old king died about a year ago, the
later years of his rule being disturbed by
only a few u%prisings, but as soon as his
death was announced the hurricane
broke. Tamasese, who had a taste of roy
atty, and who longed for deeper draughts,
was heartily in favor of his own REIN
statement, while Malietoa's son, Tanu,
claimed the right of succession. The
third candidate for imperial honors- was
once more Mataafa, the old man having

balconies that nne their houses. If
one does not go to the opera on Saturday
night through lack of invitation or money
one is very careful not to be seen else
where, giving out the suggestion that
sickness or trouble impelled ones alb
sence. The proud Creoles Of the French
set, some of them in grinding poverty,
ignore all the Mardi Gras festivities, ig-
more all that costs a picayune, in order to
save the amount to appear at the opera
on Saturday night.
mo debutante of New Orleans enters
society in the correct and approved IAN
ner unless she makes her debut in a box
ON this particular evening. If the social
aspirant has sufficient money n tact to
secure the good will of a leading family to
invite he'd debutante daughter into it's
box, this daughter has received the most
precious hallmark of society. If a man
who owes a social call pays the call to his
friends in their box at the opera it is just
the same as If he called at the house. The
center boxes are reserved for the debut
tantes. There they receive the homage
due them; there they We're wooed and

CREOLE RELIES SOCIAL DEBUT

Saturday night because it's grand-grand-
fathers handed down the custom 10 IT,,
writes Harrdele Hallmark in the March
Ladies' Home Journal. so establlsheu
in this custom that no social function IS
evnr nrepaned for Saturday evening dur

an invitation for that night is immediate
ly classed as not versed in the usages OF

is so deep rooted in Creole life that such
an invitation would be jeered at as If
coming from a barbarian.

Tamasese had but a scant following,
and Malietoa's chief supporters We're the
missionaries who had taught him from
childhood and could trust him to insti-
tue the much needed reforms. The only
really popular candidate, therefore,, was
Mataafa, and he was about to be de-
clared king when the American chief JUS
tice took advantage of his power under
the treaty and refused to approve the
election, declaring the son of the old king

get these things by his own effort he has
only to ask and others will provide them
for him 1a. y
1t is his ideal country, created by Ma
ture for the habitation of just such child
like people, that is now in an uproar SIM

ton for copra has inspired them to come
with their guns and their powder to ado
to the weight upon the shoulders of an
unsophisticated race of brown men who
wish to bear no burden.

An M. P. tells a good story of an out-
of-the-way country clergyman, who did
not keep up to date in what was going
on in the world. One Sunday he asked
his sexton: 'Is the prayer of parliament
to be used today? Is parliament still
sitting??"
The sections reply came pat and

anyhow, better pray for them, for they're
a precious bad lot."-Tit-Bits.
