Man the StickIer For Fashion
BY Cynthia Grey.

Proud of his new featkers2
Well, rather! And new they
are, too.
Who ever heard of a man

Surely not, the styles change
too much for that.
It's poor business to let your

That's the way man crdwls

When the new style of hat Is
out, how many men will you
see with a style radically differ
ent? Is it the fashion for men
to wear tan shoes? Look along
the forest oil legs on the busy
street and you will tind the SHE
walks blushing tan.
When the tailors decree slup-

mediately an army of men VINO
ought to have manly, square
shoulders nope through the
city like a lot of consumpIive
dudes.
The average woman will new
er get just exactly the same as
any other woman. In a days
walk you will rarely see the
same hat or gown twice. But
man goes in for the same thing
as the other fellow so that be
shall be in fashion.
They do say that since the
oose.legged-tight. ankle trous-
ers have come into style men
are enduring agonies every
time they put them on.
Just the other day l over
heard one man telling another
that in order to change his
trousers he bad to take of
his shoes and stockings and
bend his heel back half way in,
to his ankle.
Who is the slave of fashion?
Man, of course!

Groton Junction, now the town
of Ayr, a man who stammered
considerably, but was known as
a great joker. He bought a
horse he thought was just
right, and boasted of the many
G God qualities it was supposed
to possess. He soon discovered
he had been deceived. and sold
the animal at the first opportu,
nifty.
When it became known that
the horse had been sold a friend
said to him: Il thought you
had a remarkable horse, and
just the one you wanted. Why
did you sell himH'
He replied: "N.nothin, only
h-he went so f.fast the m.miIe-
stones C came so th-thick
th-thought l was r-riding
th-t trough a cemetery."-Bos
