would be completed in time to give

Cost of a Wardrobe.

Comparatively. what man wears does

thing out. His coat must be the proper
cut, his hat the proper shape, his trous-
ers just SO and his tie the proper color.
But there are many men In the world
who can not pay so much respect 10 fash
ion. and hence we may strike an average
between the two extremes I'm dress.
I'VE will put the case alphabetically

will wear the clothes of a grown man for

would cost him $3.50 in a lifetime. Now.
on this basis OF calculation, man would
spend $3.50 I'm a lifetime for clothes.
There are. Of course. many men who
spend much more than this amount. and
there are many more men who spend
