81 wouldn't attempt to judge man
by his coat" she said gravely, but l
would not hesitate two minutes to
judge him by his necktie. 1t is an al
most infallible guide. OF course there
are exceptions, but the character and
intellect of most men can be told by
the way in which they tie their ties.
Now, take the overclever man, for ex-
ample.
"The tie of the genius has afforded
much copy for the pen of the satirist
and the pencil of the caricaturist, but
in reality any little popularity or lido
syncrasy in dressing is generally the
outward and visible sign of vanity
rather than of personal untidiness. The
average man, with an ordinary share
of intellect, seldom knows how to tie
tie as it can be tied and is tied by
men with no intellect at all. He may
possess a charming selection of the
best ties which Broadway can supply
and does not in the least look eccentric
nay, rather, he often wants to be as

Directly you see really beautifully

men and actors, with whom it is a
part of the training) which never
moves out of place, following faithfully
the little idiosyncrasies of contempora-
ly dandyism, you may be fairly certain
that you are not face to face with an
undiscovered Shakespeare or an en-
bryonic Goethe. OF course, in the case
of rich and important parsonage, the
lesser details of the toilet ere usually
left to the valet, but even then I defy
man of real brains to keep his tie at
the exact angle for any considerable
time. At dinner you will generally find
that by the time the soup has arrived
the evening tie has shifted it's position
or become obliquely set. This could
probably be easily avoided. only it hap

wears his tie indicates pretty accurate

Put Yourself In the Other Ones
Place and Answer.
The great task of sound ethics is to
stimulate the social imagination. We
must be continually prodding our sense
of social consequence to keep it wide
awake. We must be asking ourselves
at each point of contact with the lives
of others such pointed questions as
these:
How would you like to be the tailor
or washerwoman whose bill you have
neglected to pay?
How would you like to be the GUS
toner to whom you are selling these
adulterated or inferior goods?
How would you like to be the in
weston in this stock company which you
are promoting with water?
How would you like to be the employ
er whose time and tools and material
you are wasting at every chance You
get to loaf and shirk and neglect the
duties you are paid to perform?
How would you like to be the clerk
or saleswoman in the store where you
are reaping extra dividends by impos-
ing harder conditions than the state of
trade and the market compel you to
adopt?
How would you like to be the stoker
or weaver or mechanic OH the wages
you pay and the conditions of labor
you impose?
How would you like to be the bust
ness rival whom you deprive of his lit
tie all by using your greater wealth in
temporary cutthroat competition?
