and business equipment as Of a
woman's, though he isn't as frank
to admit It and he begrudges the
time and energy which keeping up
TO Fashions changes requires.
Here are a few hints calculated
to help him make a quick decis-
ion when Il comes to acquiring a
new informal dinner suit. This
one, which George White wears in
his Scandals Of 1920" Is Of con:
serratiye cut and material.
More extreme models have this
same roll collar, satin.iaced, but
notched q full two inches lower.
Also there are satin cuff bands
and the pocket -open!ngS are cury-
ed instead Of slanting. These
features are matters Of taste and
in mems clothes good taste is al
most Invariably On the side Of the
conservative.
For sumner wear the waist coat
may be made Of white piQue
Silk side stripes are allowable
now on the trousers Of informal
dinner suits where heretofore
they have been reserved exclusive

II you wash on Tuesday, wash
Ing loses some Of its hardship.
Monday can be used as day Of
preparation.
On Monday one could do the
mending. A patch that has to be
"set" on a freshly ironed garment
muses. the garment and means ex-
ira work in pressing. II the patch
lis put on on Monday 1t is then
washed and ironed as one with the

holes have their holes made bigger
In the washing. II these holes are
mended before there is any risk Of
catching them and tearing them,

Touch me who dares." The this.

landed near the mouth Of the
Clyde, not far from where Alex

While they were stealMiy creep

| OF the bare-iooted Danish soldiers
stepped on q thistle. His cry OF
