Senator Penrose lifted his head like a

The secretary adjusted his frock coat
nicely.

replied.

And with that he walked away lightly
humming:

Mutely the little man brought forth
from the cardboard package he was hold

front view OF a wooden-faced dummy,
who smirked genially despite the fact
that any friend could have told him that
three times too much of his vest was
showing.
The back view, which was the other
drawing. showed two buttons attached
to the coat in about the vicinity Of the

fine old tremolo stop which is always
used in those speeches about the
farmers.
Could it be true? 1t could. The chair
man of the committee was giving out
q formal statement. 1t was in effect,
something like this:
Because the frock coat is an annoying
execrescence of a diseased civilization
Because it makes the average man feel
as if he We're wrapped UP in d Navajo
blanket. and
Because it wrinkles across the chest
and gets shiny across the back and re-
auires the plug hat habit during day
light hours, when We all know that the
plug hat should not be worn until even
ing's gentle curtain has dimmed the
picture of mans folly. and
Because a cutaway coat is neater,
more symmetrical and more efficient:
Therefore be it resolved, That the
frock coat go the way of the Mamie
Taylor, the bicycle and the populist
party, and
THE cutaway coat De established in
its placer
Among the custom cutters there was
an air of solemnity.
Little did they realize how the bull
warks of our civilization would come to
the defense of that great political insti-
tuition, the frock coat They had forgot
ten that Senator Boies Penrose of Penn
sylvania and DIR. Mary Walker. our two
living opponents of the froch coat, had
been invited to dinner that night.
Now we will have recess of ten min
utes while the scene Is changed and the
palpitating public is led into the office of
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania.
Senator Penrose, as we'll We know, is
one of the Weightiest statesmen We have.
He has his weight pretty well distributed
over him, but none the less it takes d
frock coat to give him "a really Jovian
appearance during debate. 1t has been
noted that when the senator entered the
arena without the senatorial toga-and
