DR.. Creamer, when asked about the
matter, emphaticaIly denied that no

How Gins Are Judaed.

Some men can take in all a girl
wears: the average man sees If she
be the kind he likes-or the other
kind.
If he cannot go Tito details. he can,
however, see whether.
Her shoes are run down at the
heels or any of the buttons are gone
Her gloves have holes in the tips and
would be better for soap suds or gas
oline.
She looks "band-boxy" or as if she
had never heard of pressing.
She is spotty or slouchy or neat and
trim.
Men may be impressionists as to
colors and materials; they are etchers
when it comes to noticing little things
that bespeak slovenliness
Do not forget, girls, that it is by
such little things that you are judged,
rather than by what you pay for ycuE
clothes or how well you carry them

Though Umpire Tom Connolly of the
