Mr.. Anonymous, Cool in One Of
New Style Garments. Pro-
notes Latest Movement for
Dress Reform.
Merely Following Modern Wo-
mans Lead in Casting
Off Humanity's SuperfIuous
SWaddIing Clothes.
By GARDNER MACK.

Man, born of woman with peculiar
susceptibility to the rise and fall OF
temperature. is still II his sNaddlinS
clothes.
There wouldn't be much force to
this statement il the mercury was
always falling. but its special ,apt-
ness arises from the fact that in
spite of the repeated, not ~ say
consistent and regular, rise of tenn
perature, man condnues in his
swaddllng clothes. And continues.
therefore, TO swaddle with more or
less discomfort and inconvenience.
Hence, the annual recurrence of
the battle between the sons of Adam
and the suns OF June and July, like
wise August and September. From
the time the leopard skin displaced
the fig leaf TO the present moment.
dress reform for man has been built
upon the foundation of the old style
and the foundations always have
been left intact But the business
of shielding the person from the
outer air with repeated thicknesses
Of cloth when the otter air has
reached a temperature wheg shields
of any kind become a burden is on
its last legs.
Of With Needless DudSi
The Society for the Suppression of
Unnecessary Clothing has been
launched,
Its sponsor is alonymous-the per-
son vino has written the greatest OF
our poems. the mcst wonderful of
the essays. who composed the tin
king melody of some OF our great
authors, sculptors. painters. Ph!los-
ophers. thinkers. He is here. Here
in Washington. And he is prepar-
ing to enlist the men Of this city i'll
the cause. His battle cry is "Coolth
for men" And his chief objective is
the revision of the shirt tail.
In the language of Anonymous, the
shirt tail is symbolic of all the other
forms of uselessness by which men
seek TO adorn their persons. And he
has attacked the shirt tail. Alta ch-
ed II with a scissors. He has h!fur-
Gated it And then. with needle and
thread. he has sewed the two Zap
ping parts into trouser-like legs. and
he walks abroad with only one upper
Sarment-which is also a neither gar
ment-and a pair of trousers TO shield
his body from the gaze Of the null
titude.
And there. in a few words. is the
tude. The business of clothes in the
summer time is simply to shield man
from the sense of humor OF the Elul-
titude. Adam didn't wear cloths be-
cause there wasn't any multitude to
speak of in his day. Today there
are not only multitudes. but likewise
highly developed senses of humor.
And some of the Apollo BeiVideres of
today would be too hard on the COM
