Good models
deserve mention; and
these are the conservative
single and double breasters
that a man can feel "at
home" in from the first
day he dons the suit.
Going back
"a few months, to the be-
ginning of the season. wa
find that suits of equal
grade were considerably
more at wholesale than
the price we are now quot
ing at retail.
That fact is interesting
only because it illustrates
the drop in clothing prices.
Most men can be fitted

amined by detectives. The heavy locks
on It showed evidence of having been
smashed open with hammer. inside
the various compartments were found
several memorandum books, none show
ing an address; five sheets of velvet such
as diamonds and other precious stones
are wrapped in by statesmen, several
watch boxes and a salesman's slip bear
ing the name and address of the Witt
nauer company. The trunk bore the mi
tials "A. r." on red shield.
A reporter for THE New YORK HERALD
located Edward Detjen, assistant secre-
tary of the firm, in his home in Ford
ham. He said the red shieu was un-
mistakable proof that the trunk be-
longed to his firm. and he explained that
the initials "a. r." were those of one
of the statesmen, Alfred Reeves. Reeves.

cember
Mr.. Detjen said the only explanation
he could offer for the abandoning OF the
trunk in the tenement house cellar was
that II was stolen from the company's
offices some time during the day in the
belief that 1t contained a large quantity
of jewelry. 1t was seen yesterday morn
ing by Reeves, he said. Its disappearance
later in the day was not noticed.

Besides the amazing col
lection of 18th Century
Venetian furniture pur-
chased from the Palazzo
Carminati, Venice, by Au
Quat,1eme, there is an inn
portant collection of 18th
Century walnut furniture
from the palace. This
represents the period
which preceded the bril-
liant extravaganza Of the
18th Century with its
painted furniture, gay
with rocco flowers and its
gorgeous color. Besides
the richness of this period
the furniture of the 18th
Century has a strange
strength and a distinct
primitive character. Lovers
of Venetian furniture will
find it most interesting
and worth while to go
from one collection to the
other as they are now ar
ranged Au Quatriem,e. The
following list gives an
adequate impression of the
pieces in this collection of
18th Century walnut fur
niture:
Four large Venetian 18th
Century armchairs. The frames
and stretchers lacquered to look
like tortoise shell. Backs and
seats are covered with old red
brocade. Height of back a

Two rousers Suits
Go at $3.50 TODAY

During the war mary
men learned that a suit
with two pairs of trousers
is far more desirable and
economical than a suit
with one pair Of trousers.
To be sure. some men
have worked on that
theory all their lives; but
retail stores in general
never encouraged the idea.
But now
"a sale of mems two-trou-

upon all members Of the organization,
rs well as publishers generally, TO use
their efforts to defeat House Bill No.
o5O6, on the ground that mo such
nischievous interference with press
freedom has ever before been seriously
proposed In this country"
~The BILL" said Williams in a state
ment, prohibits publication in news
papers Of any news likely to lead to
gambhng. Ostensibly aimed at racing
. news, 1t would be equally applicable
to large quantity or variety OF fnan-
cial and other news, such as reports
Of bank clearings, which have been
used for gambling In many cities.
The unprecedented Censorship In
volved in the bill itself is more than
sufficient warrant, for its defeat. Its
embargo on so much news required for
the proper information Of business in
terests Is strong additional reason
The bilfs vicious character should be
impressed upon the Senate Judiciary
Committee, that its defeat will be as
sared.
