Trouble With Made-to-Order
Shirts.

Did you ever have a shirt made to
order for a 16f inch neckband, and
then order Ii inch collars made to fit
the neckband. You did. Well. how
did the thing work when you put on
your Sunday-go-to-meeting shirt and
then tried to button on your collar?
If they fitted you lost no Sunday
School lessons, but if they didn't fit
you grew decidedly warm before you
found out that the neckband was II
inches and the collars the same size
Then you looked at the collar and
said something, then you threw it
down and said something about the
shirt-making frauds that was neither
complimentary or fit for good society
with ladies present. When you found
out that the shirt-making frauds had
made a shirt too big for the neck and
collar, you just sat down and said:
We'll, I'll be-smoked."
You figured out how you were GO
ing to get out of it without undress-
ing and missing your hair, ifyou had
any, and then you made another eff
fort to squeeze the IL inch collar over
the II inch neckband. and succeeded
after getting red in the face and hot
IN cody and temper. You finally
think it will do for the day anyway,
and then gently fasten your merry
widow necktie and put on your coat
in a hurry as the last church bell is
ringing. Your wife gently and Sc
renely remarks that there is no hurry
as she has her gloves to put on. You
get started and as you hurriedly walk
towards the place of peace and devout
inspiration, you realize that your col
lar is riding the edge of the neckband
and there is an opening somewhere.
Ii you have courage you will 60 on
and keep your mouth shut and think
about the morning hymns to be sung
by the choir. After you get seated
you run your finger round between
the collar and band and shove the
collar down, and about the time the
minister is telling us about the meek
ohS wv ouSlO1y ClluO luASC1dDlC CDl-
lar slips up again and the merry
widow necktie slips below and follows
the collar, and there you are about
ready to repeat the Lords prayer.
You needn't laugh. There is no
laugh due. It is a mixture of patti
ence, religion and confusion. You
imagine that all the pretty girls are
wondering whether you have a look
ing glass at home, and when you get
your head down to pray behind some
good sister with a merry widow on
her head, you pray not but dig both
hands into your neck gear and sweat
some more, because you can't say any
thing mean in church. You live
through the ordeal and get home in a
hurry. You rip off that necktie, col
lar and shirt faster than a boy going
a swimming and hunt up g sweater
that has been stretched out of shape,
and that's what you get for dealing
with some of the travelling fellows
who make shirts to order. Patronize
your home dealer and if he sells you
any such misfit you can have the sat
isfaction of licking him if you are
able,
