to most boys--begins with marbles. It's a good thing, because sooner or later every youn gster T must pay his own way.
 Of late years many pa rents have taken to send ing their boys in by them selves to purchase school suits. They feel that it gives the boy a sense of responsibility and opens his eyes to a better reali- zation of the cost of clothes and the need of care after they re bought. Also that price is not al ways the test of cheap ness and that it pays to buy good things at a re- liable store.
 The confidence implied never fails to put our salesmen on their mettle and, of course, whatever your boy selects goes home subject to return for exchange, refund or credit, just as you think best.
