the right places for the right
things, from his tailor's at one
end of Jermyn Street to his hat
ter's at the other, and from the
man for collars and dress shirts,
in st. James. to the only man
for soft shirts, on Piccadilly.
Hilton Toye visited them all in
turn this fine September morn
ing. Then he gazed critically at
his boots. There had been a
young fellow aboard the Kaiser
Fritz, quite a little bit of q
military blood, who had come
ashore in a pair of cloth tops that
Mr.. Toye had rather admired.
He thought of this young fellow
when he was through with the
soft-shirt man on Picadilly
Captain Aylmer had said .he would
like to have Toye see his club any
time he was passing and cared to
look in for lunch, and suddenly
Toye had mind to take him at
his word right now.
And there he was eventually en-
tertainedDto sound, workman

Toye felt one himself as he

Savoy Hotel, where 1t kept him
busy in his own room for the best
part of another hour.
But by that time Hilton Toye
looked more than an hour older
