Eighteen Of Them1

Whist on Earth Does He Want With
Eighteen Of ThemH
The great fundamental difference be-
tween the modern woman and the
modern man IL thIs-that whereas the
ralment OF the modern woman has no
pockets a. all the raiment OF the mod.
cru man has nothing else.
Indeed. n man may be defined as an
animal with passion for pockets II
you were asked TO say offhand how
many pockets you possess nj given
moment, you would be stumped.
II would be necessary to make out an
inventory, In the FIRST place, there are
ut least Eve in your overcoat. There
are At least Ave more in your lounge
jacket. four In your waistcoat and four
in your trousers. You have therefore
at least eighteen pockets.
Now, II Is absurd to say that any
man needs eighteen pockets. Why, II
Is almost a set OF pigeonholesl They
ought to be numbered or lettered. OF
ten a man loses his railway ticket and
after paying excess fare he finds II
hidden In one OF his dozen and a half
pockets. II takes some time TO search
carefully In eighteen little bags.
Men carry a great deal OF rubbish in
their pockets. There are few Of us who
do not suffer from denominations OF
old letters paid and unpaid bills, bus
and tram tickets, theater vouchers and
miscellaneous odds and ends.
We change our fotsam and jetsam
from one suit OF clothes to another, for
we are not happy without unnecessary
fragments OF paper.
once knew a man who carried an
amazing assortment OF useless things
in bis pockets, He always had a lump
OF chalk, piece OF string, a small
ivory inch rule, penknlfe, a pencil
and a pair OF compasses,
In his pocketbook he carried stamps,
sticking plaster. telegraph forms and
pins. Another man know always car

shaped like torpedoes with one cigar In
each.
Some men have a mania for carry.
Ing enormous benches OF keys. They
do not use mote than two of them ev.

they have a key for everything they
have ever owned. When they lose

Pending decision by the state su-
