incident. "lived down on the South

chimes of the sounding Of a bell. One
NIGHT the college fraternity OF which
the man was a member, gave BAN

when he arrived at the front door OF
his home. He thought that dlscre-

that when he got inside he began to
remove his shoes before going up the
stairs. Unfortunately: he was not
very happy in the execution OF this
act, for one of his shoes slipped and
made a noise that could be heard all
over the house. A moment later his

JEWELED sUsPENDER BUCKLE.
Gold Mounted "Galluses'' for Which
One May Pay $120.

For men who, in the way Of braces,
like something rather more elaborate
than galluses Of homespun, such as
lately were presented to Speaker Can
non, there are provided gold noun
ed suspenders, and these can be had
in a variety of styles and mountings.
The web Of the gold mounted sus-
penders is, of course, of silk and for
the most part of white silk, but they
can be had in any color desired.
Some Of the gold mountings are ex-
tremely simple. The gold buckles and
end piece on some Of the smooth, mar
row, hard finish webs, for instance,
are as plain as the white metal fit
tinss on a pair Of suspenders that
would cost so cents.
Others have buckles that are some
what larger and more ornamental IN
shape and either embossed or engrav-
ed with a pattern. Some of these are
set with small sapphires, some dla-
monds.
These gold suspender buckles are
made Of II karat gold so that they
will withstand wear, for it is not the
custom Of men who wear suspenders
Of this sort, when the webs wear out,
to toss them into the scrap basket.
When the webs wear out the wearer
takes the suspenders back to the jew
eler and has the gold buckles mounted
on new silk webs.
Gold mounted suspenders can be
found in stock at prices from $50 to
$12O a pair. These perfectly plain,
simple suspenders with the simple
cold buckles, cost $3S. A pair with
sapphires set in the buckles cost $50,
and another pair with eight small dla-
monds in the buckles cost $l2O.
