THERE used TO be silly game called
L Button. brtton-who's got the
button?'
Probably it is still played by children
wien they have nothing more exciting
TO do.
But in the lives Of bachelors. college
students and travelling men this is not
silly game it's desperate situation.
You know to illustrate. how agoniz-
ing it is to open your third drawer Of a
morning and find that you have only one
clean waist to last until the laundry
comes home. then to pick that up and
| find that il has a prominent button on !.
Nothing more than the usual time to
get to the office. and you have to stop
and sew that button on, after finding
one and discovering where the rest OF
the family have taken the thread. needle
and thimble. Teeth. Of course. being
substituted for those never = to be =
found when wanted scissors.
The button is not sewed very care
fully or very tightly. and II wabbles
all day long, pulling Imply off at the
end of hard days work.
THAT'S bad enough.
L But consider the poor bachelor. when
tnlS happens 10 MN. ana MS laSt re-
manning decent shirt is found but
tonless.
Or think of the poor student working
his way through the allowance that his
father can. spare him. when he finds
that his new underclotheS are all dis
tributed among his classmates, because
they weren't marked.
Or pity the poOr travelling man. who
has to buy pair after pair of socks on
account of tiny little rips and holes
tlat ruin his whole appearance II he
wears his old ones.
Consider them. think of them. pity
them-but what can be done about IL?
Well. just this. One Of them sug-
gested it himself.

there somebody in this town who could
sew on buttons?"
