NEVER FAILING
Spring TOKENS
WILLOW Hi1 AND PAN ANA LID
ARE MAKING ANNUAL TiL-
81 APPEARANCE.
TROUSERS A LA creme
They Don't Hang Well on the 10 low
Who l. Forced To Perform
Real Labor,

When the sap In the shubhcry is
slipping upward like the contents If
Il nickle-the-Elass shoots mnrri} up-
ward through the straw come then
the sleeveless and lesglcss Wonders
in the ncgligcc line, the willow hat
and the panama I'D ana the covering
Of straw, together with the shiny aud
gossamery coat and the "A Ia creme
trousers
In spite of everything fellow can
do he cannot keep down his hank
erlug for the goods of spring. To
come out in blossom is Just as natur-
al for man as It is for the holly
hooks, and while mankind usually
beats the hollyhocks TO 1t 10y month
or so. the hollyhock makes up for II
in profusion when it does arrive. But
the longing for new duds each spring
is Irresistible. All women expect new
raiment, and all men hope for some
lowcuts and some socks which, II not
exactly passionate, are mt least emo
tional There's no way out OF II, the
craving is there, and to attempt to
sthe it is as useless as It is TO keep
Ncklcs away from a sufferer Of tn
mumps or the fellow who has taken
eight gallons of calomcl to clear his
complexion and eradicate the buck
alger'
Perhaps the most banoful thing
fostered by civilization and thrust on
To- nt II
schedule styles and fashions and man
ners and dress etiquette and such
things, II the white, or a la creme
trousers. They may be all right for
the fellow who is riding along "on
flowery beds of ease" but for the
hired man Of commerce and the fell
low who has occasion TO sit down
once in awhile, they are about AS use
ful as squirt gun is to a burglar
They are not tough enough for prac-
tcal use, and belong to the age OF
the suffragettc movement rather than
to that age of colonization when fore
fathers hacked down big trees ana
tore their way through the forests
In preparation of "A civilization that
brought with it white trousers ana
ivory teeth and manicuring OUTFITS
Think Of one of those Old-timers
bucking up against a cn-foot syca-
more, standing among patches of
blackberry bushes, clad in flowing
whiskers and white pants Imagine
what would occur when he spat on
his hands in order to get tghter
grin on the axe handle, and finding
too much moisture in his palms, rub
bed them on the side of his brceches
like a kid does after having empaled
an angle worm on the fishing hook
Imagine if you can, the Improperly
he would annex to his reputation by
appearing In public by allowing Whlte
trousers to officiatc instead of blue
Jumpers when he straddled the neck
of the orphan calf, jammed three nm
gers into the infants mouth to teach
II the habit of helping itself from the
depths of a four-gallon pail, and then
fell over backward and got milk-
soaked and dust besmeared when the
fool calf got scared at Its own expec-
tOratlOnS ana Sntt NIii ouSH ''N"N''
his legs like circus heroine hops
through bareback hoop! No, sir,
nothing but ovcralls and true chris
tian can stand that kind of racket
without giving away in some and GER
tain respects. 1t may look all right
to walk down the streets and look like
YOU had forgotten to free yourst'f OF
YOUR pajamas that morning, but to
clod hopping sod buster VINO eats
peas with fork and cuts up dish
of noodles with the edge of spoon
ley have nothing in common with
him.
To those wonderful armless and
legless creations of big factories, he
can become accustomed In time, and
does. But to the cream trousers III
soft weave and pin stripes he has a
shvness that IL akin to the frights
which the country horse shows
around a Kissing steam engine after
having spent his entire colthood
where the woodbine twineth and the
grapevines Chamber for all they are
worth.
