WOMEN CAN GENERALLY DETECT
ERRORS IN THE CLOTHES OF MEN

A woman always likes to see a man
well dressed. and can generally detect
errors, though il isn't always advis-
able 10 point them out.
When a man is well groomed he will
look well dressed. though his clothes
be old and shabby If he but look
clean about the head and feet the rest
of his person will generally pass mus
ter. These two points usually catch
a woman's eye.
When one sees the sort Of errors in
dress OF which courting young men
are guilty, il is a wonder they ever
succeed i'm impressing any young wo-
man. Unless, of course. the young
woman decides that the man will
never dress properly until she has
married him and shown him how to.

suit, with enormous boots and a neck
tie rucking up over the back OF his
collar. certainly seems to need some-
body's aid to make him present

The present season. from the con-
sumer's standpoint. has been one OF
the best known for watermelons and
canteloupes. Both have been pienti-
full. and. considering the early drought,
have been of unusual quality, so that
there has been a constant demand for
them. The later crop of watermelons
promises to be even better than the
first, and the Rocky Fords now reach
ing the markets are selling almost at a
premium.
Fortunately. demand for the melons
seems to be declining in exactly this
same ratio as supply is diminishing
so that, in all probability. the mar

ion. Good boots, like good suits, al
ways pay. Excepting, perhaps. the
patent boot. which is being rightly
ousted by the glace kid. brown boots
are the most comfortable. but must
not be worn with black clothes. The
button boot. too, hardly suits a manly
man, being rather an effeminate ar
ticle.
The scarfpin is an article OF adorn-
ment of an unobtrusive nature with
the well-dressed man. A small pearl
pin in black tie. or a turquoise pin
In gray and lighter colors. is the limit.
Enormous horseshoes and imitation
diamonds on a large scale speak for
themselves.
Incongruities are what make a man
look badly dressed. A Norfolk jacket
should be worn with kniclSerbockers
and not with trousers. except I'm a
case of wearing flannel trousers for
tennis or boating. Colored shirts
should harmonize with ties and the
suit generally.
Clean boots, well-brushed clothes. a
shaven face. white teeth, cared-for
hair. trimmed nails. all go toward
making a man we'll dressed.
