As the girl Joined the line of passengers
waikiki 10 the train, her chaperon gave
the guard a Contemptuous look, tossed
back her head and sailed out Of the station
with rapidity out Of all proportion TO
her size.
Since the new rule went into effect there
is always group about every entrance

But the couples that are to travel together

MEN'SCL0THES AT THEIR BEST
LEARNED OPINIONS FROM THOSE
VINO MAKE FASHIONS.
Present styles Fit the Times and Are Likely
to Outlast This Generation With
out Material Change - what II
Costs to Be Really Well Dressed.

The editor Of London periodical devoted
to mems clothes and considering itself an
authority on that subject lectured upon it
a week or two ago in the British capital
and he laid down this dictum:
We have reached fnalty as far as the
dress of the English gentlem n il concerned,
The trousers Of to-day will not only the
the trousers Of the next fifty or sixty years.
but the next million, and the Chesterfield
il the permanent coat. The motto for to-
day, for ages to come. il ease, grace and
common sense. We cannot change any
thing for the better
Now, trousers as an institution are one
hundred years old this very year, fact
already heralded far and wide, and the
trousers of this years fashion are not pre-
cisely like the trousers Of last year For
that matter. neither are the coats, and there
are some new things in waistcoats.
SO the statement Of the London tailor
who has stepped up the stool of authority
must not be accepted literally. Neverthe-
less, the greater number Of the taiors in
this city whose rules are law in the field
Of mems fashions in New York agree that,
stripped Of its frils Of exaggeration. the
statement Of the Londoner is. in the main,
correct
There are dozen or so Of these tailors
who set mems fashions in New York. Their
establishments are inconspicuous and they
do not seek to make them more so, for there
Ia no need. Each has a settled clientele
and they make up in prices for what the
other fellows get in size of output,
They are not even anxious to be quoted
in tho newspapers as authorities on the
subject OF clothes, though, all the same,
they are keenly jealous of their regulations
OF turning out the best dressed men in the
city.
They take their business seriously. To
them the phrases -sartorial art" and -sar-
torial artists" are neither grandiloquent
nor :. r.o-comic. They yield place neither
TO sculptor nor artist and, though they are
not in business for their health, they profess
to look for a satisfaction that is greater
tnan dollars in maintaining a reputation
for displaying the male form in the clothes
best suited to each particular shape.
Ore ,f these conscient ous artists In
clothing gro, gray in the trade, produced
not long ago book on clothes. full Of good
advice to young tailors, to which he brought
the experience Of a lifetime and an amount
of eriditlon not surpassed in any work
on any other branch Of tire arts And in
