Reporter Visits Nusbaum's and
is Shown Fall and Winter
Styles in Mems Wear.

If there Is one thing more than an
other that may be pointed out as
c6aracterfzing the spirit of the age.
that thing is EXPRESSED by the word
rehabilitation" Business the pro-
LESSONS and the arts are all spe-
cialized today, many OF them being
stib-specialized into score or hum
bred subdivisions. The whole ten
dency of the present day is toward
concentration, specialization. the per
fiction of workman, an article or q
product on certain specified task or
for special object, all resulting IN
an extraordinary degree of efficiency
- compared with the "tack-of-all-
trades" idea OF a century ago.
The truth OF this proposition Is
very clearly demonstrated by v1sit
to almost any up-to-date mercantile
establishment. You will see in any
store, handling any line OF goods: q
surprising variety of articles, all In.
tended for the same general purpose,
but each specially adapted for some
special niche of utility or for some
reason particularly suited for Itself
to innumerab1e tasks little while
ago undreamed of. with the result
that today there are thousand con
yeniences of every kind which the
world would scarcely know how TO
get along without. A.
Take the field of mems and young
mems clothing, for instance. only
generation or two back, the average
man considered himself pretty well
equipped If he possessed one suit and
one overcoat The suit. to be sure,
was too hot for comfort In summer,
and maybe none too comfortable IN
winter; the overcoat scarcely span
ned in satisfaction the changing sea-
sons, but they had to do. The luxury
of a raincoat was to him an unheard
of blessing. and as for thin tropicai
weight clothes In summer. and storm
defying great-coats In winter they
were beyond his ken.
All this was very strongly brought
to the mind OF our style-reporter,
the other day, on the occasion OF
visit made to the store of M. A. Nus

we're told that the tendency among

marked this year than last. and that

of handsome models illustrating THIS
