THE SHIRT WAIST MAN.
HE HAS DISAPPEARED ALMOST
ENTIRELY-HIS REIGN
BRIEF.

Many people have wondered where
the shirt waist man is this year. A
great many men without coats can be
daily seen, but the regulation shirt
waist is something not yet apparent
this summer
The reason is probably that the
shirt waist was only fad, and ran its
course in one season. IL has been
warm enough to justify the wearing
of them this summer, but there seems
to be no desire to wear them.
