"Of course the dealer explains, in
conclusion, this coat is rather more ex-
penStve than the average man would care
to buy. But that's small matter. II
the novelty takes hold, 1t will be simple
enough to build other coats out of ma
terial less expensive. AS a matter Of fact
we can put them out as cheaply as 81
each.'
In addition to the crash linens and al
pacas there are not a few men who
choose lounging suits of fine silky blue
serge They take the not unwarranted
position that blue serge is more dressy
than either OF the other materials, is al
most as cool and that 1t holds it's shape
better. Finally. too, 1t is but little II any
more expensive than the others. In fact
one can get a blue serge suit altogether
splendid for lounging purposes for as
low as $3.50. In all these lounging gar
ments the styles prevalent in clothes for
street wear are followed in general fash
ion, but invariably the clothes are built
to fit more loosely.
The suit. however, is only a small part
Of the new lounging attire. There are
shirts to be considered, for instance.
Preferably the shirts should be OF silk
either pure white or white relieved by
some very delicate figure or pin stripe.
Also the shirt should have low. soft
collar attached The average, lounging
shirt Of this sort will cost about $3.50,
although there are many to be had that
cost six. seven and even as high as ten
dollars each. the latter being made to
measure. If one does not care to pay SO
much there are madras shirts to be had
a-plenty at $3.50 each, others at 81 each
and still others at S1.J0. And II one is

go through with the thing and buy an

include shoes--perhaps two or three pairs
of them.
Besides. it is undeniably a comfort to
be able to change shoes. 1t seems to rest
the feet. Also. 1t is certainly advisab BILE
from hygienic standpoint.
AS to the lounging shoes. they are Of
all sorts and varieties. White canvas is
popular. for the double reason that it
looks cool and cheap. A white canvas
shoe will answer every lounging purpose,
and other purposes. too.

the younger generation is using SO gen.
orally for street wear are also popular
for lounging purposes with business men.
Such men find such shoes bit too ex-
treme for wear during office hours. But
for lounging purposes they are ideal.
Their cost however. is a thing to be con-
sidered. Being rather novelty, they are
in most cases even more expensive than
ordinary shoes. 1t is rather difficult to
find a pair of heelless rubber-soled shoes
that the dealer is willing to guarantee for
less than s. pair, and this is rather a
conservative figure. Six or seven dollars
per pair is moro usual.
