The southern section of New Zealand
has been coloniZed in the main by Scotch
men and their descendants, and, as a re-
suit of Caledonian clannishness, a man
without a Scotch-sounding name has no
chance of getting a contract from the
municipal councils in these parts. At a
meeting of one of these bodies it was an
nounced from the chair that Sandy Nc
Pherson was the successfl& bidder for a
certain contract, and he Hgas requested
to come forward and enter into the neceS-

MANS SHIRT WAIST.
cThe Haherdas her.l


Advising or sanctioning the abandon
ment of the coat is to give countenance
to one o. the worst of all bad American
habits. To preserve the aesthetic and
artistic in dress one must leave the
units of our outer attire undisturbed.
To separate them is to leave d man half
dressed
The man in his shirt sleeves is al
ways the common and vulgar man.
You'll find his kind leaning against the
public bars, eXpeetorating in public
conveyances and smoking in forbidden
places. We may not discard the coat
and preserve the rules of prepriety and
aestheticism in dress. There can be no
comparison between the dress of man
and woman. A woman's shirt waist is
merely form of bodice, and it is an
integral part Of the outer dress OF
woman. A mans shirt is a distinctive
garment and is not part of his over
suit
Aside from these objections we have
the more serious one of appearance. 1t
cannot be "becomingly" carried out
There are not ten men in every thou
sand so built that they can go with
out suspenders. And unless the sus-
penders are to be banished there is no
use in talking about abandoning the
coat. In no decent society, or properly
conducted hotels or theatres, would a
man be permitted to appear without
his coat. The eoatless man must al
ways be what he has always been, a
common, vJ'gar, undisciplined being,
who puts personal ideas of comfort
above the ideas of seemly conventional

Is it a joke-the masculine shirt

ling femininity to think that man, su-
perior man. is actually contemplating
change in his wearing apparel that
will plunge him deep into the vortex of
that awful struggle of keeping the belt
line TRIM taut and unsagging. Doesn'
he know when he is well off? they are
whispering. Doesn't he know that for
ages dress reformers have lectured and
talked and reasoned and scolded to
make women abandon the baleful and
uncomfortable suspension of clothing
from the waist? Doesn't he know that.
after all is said, a thin and cool shirt,
an unlined coat Of summer material,
and pantaloons fastened up with order
ly sus0enders make the ideal summer
costume for real comfort, decency and
health. and that woman's way, ninety
nine times out of a hundred, is but a
surface imitation of these desirable
points?
Does he think. that women are as
comfortable as they look in their shirt
waists? RedhOt pincers would not lead
them to confess that pulling and tight

necessary to the perfect set of that

women aim primarily at looking cool,
not feeling cool. Doesn't he know that

every which way all around with every

not employed to overcome its perver-

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with the approval

The following tribute to the distinguished
ex-governor was given by Governor w.
Murray Crane tonight:
In the death Of Ex-Governor Wolcott
Massachusetts has suffered great loss AS
governor and lieutenant governor he served
the commonwealth with ability. fidelity and
distinction. His standard of life was high.
AS public official he won and retained to
a remarkable degree the confidence and af-
fecuon of the people. In every relation he
was true, manly and upright. 1t seems
doubly sad that a life so valuable should
be cut off in the maturity of its powers
for Governor Wolcott had every reason to
look forward to many years of useful and
honorable achievements. His death is
mourned sincerely and his family has the
deepest sympathy of the people of the
commonwealth in their bereavement. As
for my relations with Governor Wolcott
he was always most kind. helpful and true.
and TO me his death is a great personal
grief"

The Supreme Court of the District Of Co

Messrs. William NJ. Weaver and Henry T..

and of real estate of the value of $4,000.
