that clothes have great bearing on character
ADAPTING THE CLOTHES TO THE MANS
MENTAL COLORING-ONLY FANCY!
A great tailor of Fifth Avenue declared that
the first thing which he studied when prospec-
tive client approached him was, after his physi-
cal characteristics the mans mental coloring'
To this he suited the clothes. The sombre man
he gently led in the paths of cheerier accoutre-
ments, starting the campaign perhaps with pre-
liminary cravat and q gentle check suit To the
man who is immobile who merely follows after
the throng has led, who is drab with old
thoughts. he suggests frequent renewals Of the
wardrobe Old clothes and old thoughts are
close kim Therefore to such man he would at
once suggest one Of the newest of the sack suits,
which at the same time will not startle him,
causing him to retreat fearfully. This suit, which
looks most gentemanly made in dark blue, is
double breasted, but only one button deep.
Charming, you say. Indeed, one of the most
subtle garments ever created. Some may prefer
two buttons and while that too, is good, 1t is not
as recherche as the single. The coat Is as shape
lv as il can be made. 1t fits the figure faith
fully, eschewing any falsity of padding or stifen-
ing Its lines are clear and direct as the
glance of admiration which greets them.
In speaking Of this particular garment it would
b, wise to mention the health belts, which
the Master Of Fashions advocates. They are
necessary to many men. Those suffering with
weak backs are greatly benefited. Only for the
health | urge them all, in the interests of their
bodily welfare. STILL they do not make a radical
change in 2 mans silhouette. Very many men
are using them now The thin man, in particular,
who is startled at the approach OF a tiny embon-
point, at once realizes the wholesomeness of this
smcll contrivance"
