For Good Dressers.

In the matter of being we'll dressed
1t must be remembered that the whole
effect can be ruined by the amount and
kind OF jewelry worn. 1t must be OF
the right kind and chosen with an eye
to the general effect. For instance,
with a tailored suit the greatest sim.
plicity shuld be maintained, any jew.
elry worn merely carrying out the idea
of severe tailor made. Rings of heavy
masculine type only. practical pins,
pearls IL any necklace is worn. On
the other hand, the intensely feminine
effect is heightened If with a droop-
ing hat, lingerie frock and fancy slip
pers are added a dainty necklace, friv-
olous chain, pendant earrings and pure
ly feminine rings. With an evening
dress anything becoming Is allowable.

counting the stock until the next day
when young Gates was overwhelmed
by having served on him legal papers
by the numerous brokers from whom
he had borrowed the stock, ordering
him to send the proxies on 1t to them
and telling him that If he attempted
TO vote it at the Denver meeting they
would bring suit for damages. Gates
had run head on into the law and had
to back out.
When John w. Gates was in his
prime he was familiar figure and a
heavy plunger at the race tracks. So
was his son. The latter's best record
of winnings was made at Los Angeles,
when he took $4,000 from the Santa
Anita bookmakers. Returning to the
city on the last day of the meeting,
young Gates much elated, paid $500
for dog worth $50. He then gave IT
to the cashier of the Alexandria hotel,
Next he procured a $50 puppy, but,
meeting a young woman who liked the
animal, pup No. vanished in oblivion,
Then the young plunger found hand
some bulldog and parted with $500,
but kept the animal.
Charlie" Gates has also taken oc-
casional filings at roulette and faro and
a fortune usually changed hands one
way or the other. One night, after a
banquet on Broadway, he fell in with
Arnold Rothstein and William Shea,
both notorious gamblers, and spent
the night at their place Of business.
In the morning Rothstein accom-.
panied the young plunger to his bank,
where Rothstein cashed check for
$4,000 which Gates had written at
daylight.
If the father was possessed of a

Germany is not the first place in the
world to which one would look for a
movement in the direction of relief
from conventionality. However, a
Mems Dress Reform society has been
founded in Berlin, with the object OF
bringing masculine attire to higher
hygienic standard. The society pro-
tests against the "airtight armor plat

cast-iron rule of black frock-coats for
weddings and funerals alike, and the
general system of dress which in
wolves the wearing of many tight-tit

tabooed. 1t Is said that the society
will begin its propaganda among ar

sportsmen. Berlin has not had great

New York-Like his late father, but
necessarily on smaller scale, Charles
G.. Gates has been known for several
years as a spender. Now, with up
ward of S30,O00,000 in his control, will
he prove to be a spender TO an extent
proportionate to the reputation he has
gained as an embryo, or as ''the son
of John w. Gates"
Several transactions in which young
Gates has figured and which may be
regarded as significant are recalled
here. While they perhaps no more
than verge on the sensational, they
disclose, it is pointed out, character
that in time may develop true bet.

1t is recalled that in 1901 Charles
Gates decided he wanted a seat on the
New York stock exchange, and to get
it wrote a check for $50 900, the rec.
ord price paid for a seat up to that
time.
On one occasion John w. Gates
went to Texas on a shooting trip and
left his son in charge of his Wall
street brokerage Office. One day the
latter went out before the books
closed on Colorado Fuel & Iron, Dor.
rowed about 10000 shares and had it
transferred into his own name. After
the books closed he returned the Ger.
tificates, but gave proxies on them to
Mr.. Hartman.
BY strange coincidence, George j.
Gould owned all of this stock. He had
planted IL about Wall street TO see
what would happen to it. When Mr..
Gould saw the clever move made by
young Gates-for the Colorado Fuel

counted-he let Hartman go ahead

I can tell many girls why they have

they may be good looking and may dress
well, if they have that awful habit of gum
chewing there is not one gentleman out of
five hundred who will take one Of them for
a wife unless he is habitual gum chewcr

Why is it that women persist in gum
chewing in public when it is, as we all
know, a vulgar habit? If one must chew
gum for indigestion one should do so in
the privacy of ones room at home.
