MAN IS oVERMoDEsT.
That Is Why He Roasts in the Hot
DAYS Of Summer

In the matter of Summer clothes man
in the temperate zone is in the main a
deeorous and conventional anmal-and
he sweats for it. Much of the time in
the warm season his apparel is such as
gives him great discomfort, yet he endures
it with fortitude, because he does not
dare be unconventional and conspicuous.
In this last particular he is rather differ
ent from his mate, who will if the fashion
makers dictate it, wear either mosquito
netting or furs in August and bear up re-
markaby well beneath the eyes OF an in
terested public
The climate is one cause of the trouble
man hereabouts has with his clothes
The exceedingly warm weather does not
last long enough to drive him to prepare
for it. \ hot spell of week or more is
suffered every Summer, and it does make
most men for the time careless OF their APP
peafance, but it induces few to provide
themselves with clothes snited to it; IN
deed. it has been only in the last few years
that clothes for such weather have been
easily purchasable Something similar
may be said of our winters in this latitude
we shiver through good part of them be-
cause they are not uniformly cold enough
and our well heated homc7 and places of
employment now make such clothing a
burden indoors.
! The habit of wearing clothes that match
the weather is slowly forming among men,
however, and greatly increased comfort
for them may be predicted for the near
future, unless they again backslide as griev-
ously as they did after the famous shirt
waist campaign of a score of years ago.
The shops are now Offering clothes suited
to sizzling days, and they are more com
monty seen in the streets on such days
If he continues to yield to this gracious
reform, modest man may in a few years
appear in public in something comparable
to Georgette crepe and its shadowy ac
compartments in the warm-weather gart
of the female of the species Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle.

A Plea for Autocracy.

in an autocratic form OF government
We see, for example, that the members
of the New York Vegetarian Society
claim exemption from military service
on the ground that they are eonscien-
tiously opposed to killing any living
thing, and if we had an autocracy IN
stead of a republic we could take them
out and throw tomatoes at them at sun
