And he putteth upon the top of his
head hat which hath rim like unto
the flange of an opened oyster can, and
the crown thereof hath the appearance
of discouraged pancake.
For his feet he getteth shoes that are
cut low in the ankle and wide in the toe
and high in the heel.
And he garbeth his feet also with
socks that can be heard mile off on a
still morning.
Which also have openwork and drop
stitches and other millinery effects.
Also he weareth a shirt which hath
the complexion of fire alarm and the
beauty of pied rainbow.
Yea, and he carrieth cane which
loOketh like an overgrown lead pencil.
Now, when he hath inserted himself
into this collection of glad garments he
sayeth unto himself:
"Surely am the warmest proposition
that ever ambled adown the macadamiz-

"verily, there are no other starters in
the human race except yours truly.
"And am glad in my heart that am
not foolish about clothing like the

MEMS FASHIONS.
SOLOMON CAFES AT THE FASHION PLATE
AND CONES TO THE CONCLUSION THAT
NAN CARRIES A WIDE MARGIN OF
VANITY.

Consider now the garments that are
worn by man.
Verify we sit down and make much
talk concerning the garb of women.
And we shout with large voice that
she is bent in the brains when 1t comes
to garments.
And that she would attire herself In a
carpet sack cut on the bias II it were the
fashion 80 to do. :.
We point the finger Of scorn at her If
she is in style.
And ue pass her up If she is not.
Woman has hard time of it, truly.
She must endure the sarcastic remarks
of proud men concerning the dresses she
wears.
And those she wisheth to wear.
And about as hard a time as she hath
is getting the money from her husband
to buy what she getteth.
But let us think few times at the
mark which is known as man.
Verify he maketh of himself a sight
to drive some folks to strong drink.
He changeth the manner Of his garb
each season, even as woman.
But he doth not make over last sea-
sons raiment to meet this seasons plans
and specifications.
Not any.
Nay, nay, my son; he hieth unto the
tailor and sayeth unto him:
"What is the latest wrinkle in trous-
ers9"
And the tailor showeth him that the
waist is half an inch looser and the knee
one inch tighter and the foot just about
the same.
And the price two feet longer.
And the coat as the tailor showeth
him, is cut swaybacked, and hath a
hustle effect around the tails thereof,
and the buttonholes must be 80 far apart
or the man will be out of style.
