A Musical Treat.

That music hath charms was clearly
demonstrated at the Parish Hall last
Thursday evening when Miss Gretta
Cox, violin soloist of Evanston, Ill.,
appeared before a music loving assem-
blage of this city. 1t can be truthfully
said that Miss Cox more than fulfilled
expectations. Her renditions of the
most classical and difficult selections
were indeed masterfu, holding her
hearers spell-bound.
Musical critics of our city maintain
that Miss Cox is the peer Of any violin
artist who has ever appeared in Miner

Masculine Modes.

Let Us have a little talk about trous-
ers. 1t is an old saying that a man is
known by the shoes he wears. but for n
good many years. since the creased
trousers came into fashion, the neither
garment has taken the first place In
showing to his fellows the careful and
the well-groomed man.
/ remember the time, years and years
ago, ready-made clothes then were not
what they are today, when the crease
was considered an abomination 1t was
carefully ironed out The crease was
considered n proof that the trousers were
ready made, for It was created by the
garment being folded for a period on the
shelves OF a store. But nowadays the
creuse IS everything. and we are all
more or less glad OF It. There have been
efforts now and again TO change the
style OF this crease from the center TO
the side The most notable OF these
were made by King Edward and the
Prince OF Wales. Three or four years
ago they both appeared with their trous-
ers creased on the sides. AS a matter Of
fact. they. with a few other older men
attached to the court OF England. con-
tiuue the habit But II is not the fash
lon. 1t was tried, but never caught on.
The present Prince "cuts no Ice" as an
arbiter OF fashion, and the King is an old
man now and his style OF dress Is largely
for men Of his age.
No matter how moderate your means
you will find n trouser press Of the great
est benefit. II Is all very well TO sleep
on your trousers and wake up in the
morning finding them nicely creased.
This is an excellent subterfuge when
away from home. But when you are at
home get a press and use II. The best
press | have come across, and have
tri<d several. is a short, fat board with
cross wires on springs. There are usually
four Of these wires. The board is screwed
into the back OF your bedroom door,
When you take OF a pair OF trousers fold
them carefully along the proper crease
and then place the two ends OF the legs
uhder one Of these wire crosspieces. The
trousers hang down and By their own
weight resume their proper shape and In.
tensify the crease.
Such a press costs about $3.50 You
will pay that amount TO tailors for press
ing purposes in a few months. There
are. OF course. varieties OF presses where
the full length OF the garment is
screwed down tightly. But one has to

be very careful about this process. 1t
takes both time and trouble and. again,
Is hurtful TO trousers which are wet.
After putting a wet pair into such a
press they usually come out very shiny
all down the creases. But any kind Of q
press is better than none.
Suppose you only have one business suit:
II is the best Kind of policy to buy two
pairs OF trousers with II instead of one.
Whether you buy the suit ready made or
get II to order, the extra cost OF n second
pair OF trousers Is not large. and you can
bank on the assurance that you will al
ways look smart. II is the trousers N
clothes which get out OF shape the first.
The man with two pairs OF the same ma
terial can always have one pair in the
press. In consequence, by wearing each
pair on alternate days. baggness at the
knees and general shabbiness is warde1
off until the whole suit Is practically
worn out.
Appearance counts for q whole lot now
adays, and the two pair Of trousers TO
each suit when you only possess one or
two suits is the very acme Of economy.
Trousers this year are wider than usual
ly, and largely Of the peg-tOp variety.
Tint is TO say, they are full down TO the
knees, and quite narrow from thence 10
the feet. Cut In the extreme OF fashion,
they are not becoming to every man. But

are many readers who will have the lat

fly the style, but it will suit the man Of

Summer trousers are nearly ali being

up portion fits closely to the trouser and

lace shoes are worn and socks to match

be very broad and tied carefully into a
smart bow.
The most popular summer trouser is
