WEARING WRIST WATCH.

without fear Of any person properly

q sign of effeminacy when worn by
men. says Washington Post. Some
of the huskiest Americans of the day

wrist when riding o playing golf. Be-
coming accustomed to crooking the eI-
bow to mark the time of day when &C.
cupied In sport, they find It easy to
continue the wearing Of the wrist
watch when going about some serious
affairs. The development Of golf. more
than any other one thing. has been
responsible for the adoption Of the
wrist watch by men not In military
service. The golfer who has his eye
on the ball wants to be diverted from
the job as little as possible; yet he
has to keep in mind the time that he
is due home for dinner. The easiest
way to do 1t Is to wear a wrist watch.
Such a watch may be bought for as
little as $3.50, strap and all.
