 What are you looking so solemn about?" asked 1mogene.
 'sNethin'." said Andrew, dropping his eyes and his final g at the same time.
 Which being interpreted by the thoughtful wine means that you do not care to tell" said Imogene, smil- ing.
 Tt simply means that am a little sad because I have passed an other milestone on that great road which leads from childhood, careless and happy, to old age, hairless and cappy," said Andrew, sadly.
 You may not know it, honey but "a man does not measure his progress from the cradle to the grave by birthdays as you women do. The old saying that a woman is as old as she looks and a man as old as he feels Is true so far as the observa- tion of others is concerned but so far as the man himself goes there are other standards by which he measures and they are measures in- deed.
 There Is one which is the matter of his waist line. But that Is some thing he has under his own control. and If he becomes globular in form there Is no one but himself to blame.
 You have had occasion to criti- else the length of time I spend in the bath room each morning, and if it were not for the IS or 20 minutes I spend in physical culture there each morning l should have lost my waist line long ago. but I have not. There is one thing, however, that a man cannot control and that is the size of the neck, and today I bought my first lot of 16 collars.
 That statement suppose means nothing to you, but when I trace my neck from the stage where first encircled it with a collar up to the present time, I can see that in it's size it marked my advance to man hood and that now the ground is slipping from under me and I am sliding into a yawning grave.
 When first wore a collar 1t was number 13h and my neck resembled nothing so much as the neck of I nestling bird when it stretches up to take wriggling worm from it's mother. It was just spiral col- umn, a winding pipe and some freckled skin stretched over 1t all.
 Then when I was a youth I got a 14 and up out of 1t my Adams apple used to slide and choke me when I tried to talk, and then slide down when there was no one to talk to.
 Through my young manhood the 14h carried me till the days when we wore collars five inches high and then l settled to IS for number of years. For the last year l have worn 151z and now when I find thas I must buy 16 or choke I feel sadness coming over me and I begin to think of a dropsical old age and general reformation.
 These were the sad thoughts that you interrupted when you spoke to me just now"
