Merry Moments

Buying a Spring Suit
BY FRED c. KELLY

Stokes dropped into tailoring shop
to look over their new spring things.
The tailor began to throw the suit
ings over his knee in his most engag.
ing manner, and Stokes, with stogie
of Pennsylvania manufacture tilted
out of his mouth at a sassy angle,
looked on critically.
WHOM. thunder ever buys such
suits as that one?" inquired Stokes
amusedly, as he caught sight of a big
green plaid over an ice creamy col
ored effect.
"Oh, you'd be surprised at the num-
Der of that kind we SELL" replied the
tailor alphabetically. You see, we've
got to have something for everybody's
taste. You, for instance, like the
palmer things. Mebby the next man
will want something striking. We can
take care of either one of you Fact is,
though, that's a pretty swell suit
when you come right down to it," He
picked it up and laid it across his
thigh, the way a tailor will
Gee, I'd think man would have to
choke down a whole lot of self-respect
before he could come out on the public

THE FIRST TASTE
L earned to Drink Coffee When a Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains drug-cafetne-which Is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when I was a child in my moth

things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals /

drink but coffee and water.
And so | contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee SO
affected my parents that they tried
