his manner and mode OF expressing
himself. Oddly enough, however, in
the matter of feminine dress he has
developed such fine taste that his wife
and daughter depend almost entirely
upon his judgment in the selection Of
their hats, gowns, wraps, etc. He new
er goes to a large city that he does
not carry back home some article of
attire for Mrs. or MISS Tillman, and
he keeps up with the latest modes
more carefully than they do.
