entrance was to have been cut, but
the work was postponed until the "a

ECONOMICAL JOHN D., JR.
Always Wanted Leftover Scraps fo'
Patches

A certain Providence tailor is in the
habit of alluring student trade by the
information that John D., Jr.," was
wont to have his person draped at that
particular establishment, says the New
York Sun This wielder of the shears
never wearies of telling the character
istics of his richest patron. 1t seems
that besides sharing with other well
known men the reputation OF being a
stickler for extreme punctuality, the
Young Rockefeller practiced great fru'
gality. He never bought goods that
were expensive or very cheap, but
would select material with view only
to durability.
Then" says the tailor, latter the
garments had been ordered, he would
never fail to lean over and whisper
confidentially: Now Mr.. Blank, please
don't forget to slip into the pockets a
couple of patches for the trousers.
