applause.

THE SEASONS SWAGGER
STYLES in YOUNG
MEMS CLOTHES

What are the dressy young men of
Washington wearing this spring." asked
the writer of Mr. NJ. Stein, the popular
tailor at Eighth and F streets
They are wearing the pinch-back Nor
folk" said Mr.. Stein. This handsome
creation Of ours has captured the town
by storm. This swagger style is made
with a half better back and the fullness
OF the back gathered in plaits. It makes
a stunning suit and the young men of
Washington are fairly besieging us with
their orders. This style was created by
our designer, Mr.. Mudd. and I think
1t represents one of the best efforts of this
experts many triumphs in tailoring.
These suits are not expensive. We aim
to give the highest quality-the latest
style-at the lowest priee-and in many
cases our charges are less than the same
quality suits would cost ready-made-
and they cannot compare with our pro.
ductions in style 1T and elegance of
workmanship.
