his shoulders, states a writer in the
Chicago Chronicle. If he lives in the
country he can go out in the garden
and get a bean pole and be right in
the swim, but II he lives in town he
will be compelled to seek a store
where sporting goods are sold and
there get a fish pole, which will do
very, w2ll. According to the very
latest news from abroad IL seems that
the man who wants TO be thought
right in the swim must carry stick
that resembles the balance pole used
by certain rope walkers as they trip
lightly over tie heads Of the people
in the summer gardens.
King Edward is noble man,
He has not lived in vain,
For he has given unto man 3
The blessing of a cane.
il is no SHIRT and stingy stick,
"A plaything or toy
But towers like pole in air,
A thing of use and Joy.
Let others wage their bloody wars,
And win their share of fame,
But Edward is king Of peace
And works TO hllp the lame.
This was when canes were used to
aid persons in walking, but the new
fashion means that they are to be or
naments solely, although It is quite
possible that they may come in handy
for other uses If tho style prevails
and goes to the extreme. Take the
man who Is fond of fishing. If he
sallies forth with one of those new
canes It. Win mot he necessary for.
him to carry fishing r1d at all.
All he needs to do is to take along
a line, some hooks and a little bait
and he is fixed. He can seek some
secluded spot, attach the line to his
walking stick and fish away to his
hearts content. Should he desire 20
leap q stream he can use 1t for a
vaulting pole as well and sail over
the water like the most approved
college athlete.
This new style in walking sticks
ought TO be fine for the short man.
as he will be compelled to carry one
that will loom up over his head like
flag pole in country village. The
tall man, however, will be in a fix,
for he will find it rather difficult
to find a stick long enough unless he
takes a telegraph pole or a pine tree.
But the new cane is not the only
feature OF the styles that is bound
to- attract attention. The hat. that
particular and important portion of
a mans dress, is wonder this sea-
son, and it looks very much like a
thimble perched on pumpkin.
When II comes to the brim it is
minus.
" a man wants to be right in the
very forefront of the style NE should
take last years derby and tear away
the brim and perch It on his head
and he will be all right. And it is
the same way with the straw head
gear The man who gets a new sky
piece must be sure that the brim is
not conspicuous. 1t should be about
the shape of tin basin, and while
II may be enoircled with band that
has all the colors of the rainbow
in It the brim must be about as
wide as a thread and nd wider.
There was a day when the brim went
cavorting all around over the neigh
bOrhood and put a man in the shade
but the man who wants to be in the
shade now must either carry an
umbrella or a parasol. In fact, IL
the brm gets much narrower men
will have to go into the business OF
carrying parasos in order to keep
their faces from being tanned the
color of burned leather.
And then there is the new styles In
trousers. Last year the man who
wanted TO be thought sartorial had
his trousers cut long and then he
had them turned up at the bottom
in huge cuffs. This year the tailors
got 1t one better and they cut the
trousers very short in order that
the man with low shoes may show
his pretty silk hose to the best ad-
vantage. And II the man wants TO
be ultra fashionable he must wear
two kinds OF sox at one and the
same time. One for each foot, you
see
For example, the youth who longs
