ABOUT MEMS CLOTHES

And some of them belong to the

You would think that men in busi-
ness, like Bethel, Wood. Novels, Fell
ter. Stockton. fowler. Hamilton.
Linneer, Corrin, Conway, Province.
Smith, Hubbard. Templeman and
others; men who handle such goods,
and know their value. who get away
from town and know what is worn
elsewhere, would get up enough nerve
to start OF with the comfortable
fashion.
You would think that the profess
sional and business men who spend
plenty of money to go well clothed
: like Wilkinson, GoodIoe, Wade, Nc
Lain, Stinemeyer. Thomas, Van Pat
ten, Graves, Holmes, Orendorff,
Cooper, Rockafellow, Turner, Mitchell.
Patton, Campbell. Bradbury. and a
host of others would get in the game
and wear something comfortable and
up-to-date.
You would think that the young
chaps who wake up the town with
loud ties and freeky hat bands would
not be afraid to go the limit and
wear white comfortable clothes.
But they don't do 1t. They are all
afraid or don't know, and we believe
all do know the pleasure and the com
fort of soft white clothes.
OF course they are all wrong. There
is no reason to be afraid. Clothes
do not make the snob-which some
fear they would be dubbed. And then
it would all be soon over like the chill
of the arst plunge into the fresh water
pool.
White clothes are worn by people OF
all classes. During his last years
Mark Twain liked his white clothes so
well that he wore nothing but white,
winter and summer.
Go to some sections and you will
ind the well-to-do, and the laboring
classes all dress in white in the sum-
mer time.
And why not? When style fits in
with comfort why not adopt both
The Lord knows we all suffer so
much from many styles that have no
relation to comfort, that when the
two come in together they ought to
be embraced like a pair OF long lost
brothers.

FEAST AND FESTIVlTY
AT THE HOTEL MILLER

"The Soupe ct Danse and Night in
the Hawsiian Islands" at the Hotel
Miller last Wednesday evening was
largely attended and was red letter
event in social chronicles. The af-
fair was under the management of
y. Reynolds Van Week and was infor-
NAL in character, although the guests
were present by invitation The
viands and their service were excel
lent; the music inspiring and the dane
ing enjoyed by the devotees of terpi-
schore. The singing and instrument
talism of a troupe Of Hawaiians, sta
toned in the music balcony of the
dining room, was delightful and added
in no small degree to the pleasure OF
the occasion.
The singing of the Hawaiians, or
kanakas was full OF that melody and
rhythm Characteristic of the folk
songs of southern people and suggest
ed the warm, moonlight nights of the
tropics; luxuriant vegetation and
perfumed flowers of many colors.
The music was distinctively native
in its composition and was sung in
the poetic language of the island peo.
pie, which is devoid of those aspirates
and harsher sounds so common to our
English tongue.
The troupe of Hawaiians. six in
number, were brought here from the
exposition at San Diego, and every
member of it is a thorough musician
an accomplishment for which. as a
race of people. they have much natu-
raj talent Few more enjoyable gath
erings of a semi-public nature have
taken place in Canon City in recent
months than the luncheon and dance
at the Hotel Miller last Wednesday
night.

Men around Canon City haven't as
much sense about the clothes they
wear in summer as a jack rabbit. A
rabbit sheds much of his winter
clothes in summer time, but man
goes on wearing his winter suit all
summer long.
Women, while we laugh at some
of their fashions and styles, have
good sense about summer clothes and
get by with about as little on as the
low allows.
But men-the men about Canon
City-wear the heavy dark suits. suit
able for the North Pole region all sum-
mer long.
Very comfortable and attractive
summer clothes are made these days
and are worn in many sections OF
the country. The Palm Beach suits
are as attractive as any suits made
and are cheap. You can buy a swell
suit for $3.50 to $1,000. White
fannels come a little higher. They
are a hundred miles ahead of the
Seersucker suits of 80 years ago, or
of the black, thin suits of later day.
They are comfortable, economical and
attractive.
One who would wear a Palm Beach
suit thru the summer would be able
to do more work. be comfortable all
the time and would save money.
Many men in Canon City know this,
but they are towards. They are
afraid of the first remarks of their
friends. They are afraid of being
joshed. They fear to start the style
in Canon City.
Last Sunday two men in Canon
City had the nerve to go out in white
suits--Rev. c. l. Dean and w. c..
Thomas They are men of nerve and
sense. DR.. Little compromised by
wearing white trousers. which helped
some.
But the men down on Main street
suffer with heat all summer long
rather than suffer the slings and
arrows Of imaginary smiles from
their friends.
Men stand around and talk about
II. They say they wish the other
fellows would put on soft clothes so
they could do so also. But they frank
Iy admit they are afraid to start on
brave lot OF CHAPS, aren't they?

number OF prisoners had decreased
from $40 ON March /. TO TsS on June
