Kicks on Souvenirs

the hotels of New York do not nave
better souvenirs for sale. Look at TINS

and dangling hearts. 1t had ice cream

with papa and a dollar and a hair

beauties on the table? | knew | could

College Boys Worst Dressed
The tailor whose shop is located near
| Columbia university sighed as he re-
! garded a crowd of students passing his
! doorway. "The college boy is the
worst dressed young man i'm America,
| he announced. why so?' inquired the
customer 10 whom he was talking.
| Because the college boy goes in for
such eXaggerations. was the answer
''Instead of following a new fashion
with restraint he seizes upon 1t and
enlarges on it until on his figure an
attractive garment becomes a carica-
ture Look at those boys Notice their
shoes-soles an inch thick and exten-
sons all out of proportion. Take notice
of their coats. their trousers. their
oVercoats. their Waistcoats-all over
! done, all burlesques of the real fash
! ion The college boy is not content to
wear the correct thing. 1t is not Obtru
siVe enough for him. If he We're simply
and quietly dressed he is afraid no one
would know he was college man, so
| he takes every feature and eNaggerates
| it. If broad shoulders are fashionable
! his will scarcely let him through a
doorway; if long coats are the style his
comes below the knees; if loose trous-
ers are the thing he has his made the
size of a barrel. So on account of his
tendency to distort everything ] call
the college student the worst dressed
young man in America
How to Get Cheap Hats
| Don't mention art to me-" re-

other day Speak not of Rembrandts
and Ministers, but let's get right down
to Gainsboroughs. Now much has
been said about the woman and the
high priced hat. It's all bosh. My
wife is the best artist in the world and
defy you to say that she hasn't the
prettiest hat in New York. 1t would
make the Duchess of Devonshire's look
like that of an Eastside waitress. She
wears good hats because she's an ar
tist. Can't understand, eh? Well
here's how she did it the other day. 1t
was her birthday and l wanted to
crown her with feathers, birds. fruit
leaves, etc, and we started to explore
the store A hat costing $42 displayed
in the window of Fifth avenue store
caught her fancy. Too much" said
she But wait. she added. Pulling Il
pad and pencil from one of those
junior suit cases the women carry now
adays she began to sketch that hat.
1t took her about fifteen minutes and
