handicapped by the vote of the

pears that the president following his
usual bent for common sense and in
dependence has adopted white clothes
as a summer uniform. He did not
hesitate to appear in a white duck
suit when he delivered his fourth OF

ne1ter, however, than the closely-but-
toned white blouse Of the tropics, and
after ell, the garb that is most i'm
pressive is that which unites dignity
with appropriateness as to time and

Well, why not follow the president?
In this, as in other things, he leads
because he has the courage of his
good sense. The truth is the men of
this country have been dressing on an
