What shall 1 wear" is a question that is agitating the minds of the men of Bisbee in this preEaster per tod Nix on prefiIing a wo- 10 the man, Mir. Mergenthaler. Stet Leave it be. as they say down in New York .tate. Not that Fathers manly brow shows any trace of agitation. On. no. Father has learned long ago that he Ia expected to yawn when the subject of dress is mentioned, but all the same there is away down under his vest a longing to infect all Of Main street with the green eye and ths stiff neck.
 ! When Father propounds this inn ! portant question to himself, he l imsgines fondly that he will wear any thing he blooming pleaseE. for did not
 he swine the Standard Oil such a val.
 lop that 1t was made to dissolve, dis
 sipate. dilute and disgorge! Did he
 not tell President Taft to bis face
 that the recall goes as 1t lays and did
 he not rise up in his wrath and turn
 the republicans out of office. PshaW.
 man, go to. Father tells them all
 where to get on.
 Yet snd just the same. the Nation , al association of Merchant Tailors Of America, which met in New York city the other day, have already decreed } what Father shall wear. that is if Father makes any pretentions to style . whatever. Even our forefathers who with A mighty stroke of the pen-and some ink-signed the Declaration or Independence handing it to George
  wore what it was decreed they should
 wear
 ' Fathers Of FaultlAs Fashion. all fathers who are not too old to dust : their shoes with handkerchief and then place the handkerchief niftily in !. the little pocket just under the left ! IappeI of the coat, will this year . spring and summer l912--wear hob ! ble suits of long lines and striped ma terial, following closely the natural
 figure. On top of this cruel ediet !. comes the worst blow of all. Not , yith.tanding few men have that thing , that is called figure. no pads will | be .lloved-that is, of course, elways e excepting padded cells, padded mitts
 and Irish names. The trousers shall Q fit closely around the hips for those n that have them-hips, not trousers n kontmorency-and there shall Dc nc < double collars. except the collar oi 2 the coat and the cellar Of Fashion ' sway.
 s There shall be long reyers for fai !. men. ReYers are not gin rtckeys oi T mint juleps and it Is doubtful if the e fat men will find this concession { ! consoling one. ReveTs are merely th' |. satin or silk lining that Is made tC s show on the coat lappel.
 e Another 1912 innovation, not to ssJ
 inspiration, Is that Tuxedoes will o'
 gray instead of black so that one may t distinguish between distinguished l- guests and the head waiter. White q vests for evening wear are tabooed f Black velvet vests with jeweled but l. tons will be the most modish vest E. coats. For Fathers full dress sui T for evening wear on formal occasions Il the National association of Merchant O Tailors have figuratiyely sewed or :, let buttons, having removed and dis q carded the black cloth buttons on th' > coat that Fathers father used t' " wear.
 ! Business suits will be either brown ' gray or blue if Father hopes to mak' V good in high finance. Coats of bus !, mess suits will be two inches shorte i. than last year.
 That's what Father will wear.
