 Doesn't anybody want a shirt?
 T have waited for an hour
 And my dispositon's sour.
 Please, somebody buy a shirt.
 This poetry is original and we are proud nf it. It is the song of the shirt as IL will not be sung by Mir. Culpepper Exum today, when he wields the auctioneer's hammer in behalf of The Age-Herald's s shirt sale. Because at the end Of an hour we believe that there won't be any shirts! Birmingham men are too keen at scenting a bargain and too tasteful in the selection of their wardrobes to hniss Che opportunity of replenishing from this fashionable and exclusive assortment.
 A word as to the appearance of these handsome new models-each fresh from the Parisian makers and the exclusive New York shops. They show an extensive variety and are the result of careful se- lection on the part of the buyers. There . to be found the new and distinctly smart "hobble' variety; the sheath, which . especially becoming to the petite type Of figure; and the sensational "harem." There are the more quiet models for per. cons of modest and shrinking demeanoE ohe tailored creations, for example, though in many cases the severity of the original tailored model is altogether miss tng. A certain caehet and smartness is always to be found in a well cut shirt and when this is enhanced by frils and nmbroideries the effect is highly pleas Ag. But there is nothing stiff or formal about the material or cut of these up- to-date tailored shirts. They are found and brilliant blues, to say nothing of the ever-popular white. Some have in- visible hair-line stripes that give par tocularly chic appearance. There are pongee creations for outings or fine white serge for golf or tennis.
 There is, in short. included in this out ny of sixty-nine shirts beautiful gar nent for sixty-nine fashionable men. There is notably an exquisite pale blue creation which will unquestionably lure fir. Murray Brown away from the shirts vhich he so highly recommends.
 N is just the shade that will be most 0Rective with MT. Browns smart light . quits. It would also look very hand . come on MT. R. l.. Tilghman. Another handsome model, in the lavender, is rec ammended to MT. John c. Lusk, as just nAe shade he should adopt. for so few men can. MT. Harrison s. Matthews would also look well in this. A light rose color would look we'll on MT. J. Ii. Barr or MT. Webb Crawford and for MT. Fl. G. Seibels there is handsome coral tinted one that would be extremely eff )ective. MT. G. T. Brazelton or MT. Ed Crawford might also try this one. MT. Stephen Smiths attention is called to a ooft linon soi or tussor as highly suitable Cor motoring or country life.
 Mr.. 8. J. Bowie. Mr. Solon Jacobs, Nr. William H. Kettig and Mr. John ". Tominson will find a very handsome lingerie creation which we call the "tea" 6Airt, and which could be worn with ad- vantage on the Country Club links on Tuesdsys and Thursdays. as they could be donned with graceful effect when these gentlemen join the ladies for tea follow mg an afternoon of golf. MT. Mason billiard will be interested in black and white striped surah which would be ex- tremely effective with light hannels, can- vas shoes and white straw hat. MT. ,levert would also find this appropriate c be worn with his summer pongees.
