der enforces the ordinances against
transgressors with firmness, He is
supported by a strong board OF alder

Society is now being agitated
over the "shlrtwaist man." New
York is where the fad originated
and now it is no uncommon sight
to see the masculine members OF
the 400 parading the fashionable
thoroughfares of that city, arrayed
in gaudy shirt waists OF
many hues and frills. But when
they brought the idea South, a
man who attempted to attend a
theatre in Macon, Ca, in in shirt
waist was elected by the police
and an attempt has been made by
society in Montgomery, Ala, to
ostracize the votaries of the shirt.
waist. The advocates of this
fashion claim chat the shirtwais
man has come to stay. So next
summer we may look for a battle
royal between the shirtwaist man
and the shirt tail man.
