for the Union Pacific railroad; but he
sprang q big surprise among the clans
of the Country club the othsr evening.

give the blase Country clubbers a new
sensation.

tional when he appeared at the dinner
party given by DR.. and Mrs. A. i. Jonas
in . dainty. cream colored tuxedo made Of
pongee, the thin. silky. oriental fabric so
popular with the debutantes. He simply

right on wearing them until Jack Frost

home town was not much different from
that OF Manila and Hongkong; 20 he

the neighhors for pajamas.
Mr.. Griffith not only enjoys his tropical
attire; he also likes shopping In the
orient. He declares that the little brown
tailors over In the eastern hemisphere
are much more expeditions than those in
the west He and about hundred other
men on the tourist ship ordered their
