NEW YORK, March 15.-Folks
who want to see something real
classy in the sartorial line are drift
ing into the Hotel st. Regis of an
evening to pipe off M. Robert Gug-
genheim and his panties. Mr.. Gug-
genheim looms UP in the foyer and
dining room at the dinner hour clad
in a spike-tailed coat and baggy
knickerbockers of self material.
Further appertaining to Mr.. Gug-
gcnheim's wealthy limbs are silk
stockings and patent leather pumps
with large, real silver buckles.
When Mr.. Guggenheir goes forth
from the hotel he dons a military
cape which reaches below his
knees. Possibly Mr.. Guggenheim
does not know that King Edward
has abolished knee breeches at En-
glish court functions. Possibly he
does not care.
