The WeU-Dressed Man
Gay Sporting ,Kerchisfs
e.l By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes Meet The Obligation Of Euery Occasion

Once as practical as a razor, hand kerhiefs have now turned as or namental as mustache. We all recall the day when the white handkerchief was the badge of the gentleman, where Os the colored handkerchief marked the stableboy, the promoter of oilless oil wells or the transforming actor of the unfunpy funny papers. The spread of the handkerchief into color is chiefly traceable to the spread of sport, with its flaming foullards, barbaric bandan- mas and Persians and Paisleys to lend spirit and sprightliness to our heath CTS, hopsackings and homespuns.
 Among seasoned sportsman, you see the brilliant-lined handkerchief worn or carried one of three ways-in the breast pocket, or dangling from the hip pocket, or knotted softly round the neck, with the ends twitched to one side and left to blow in the breeze, as portrayed here. This takes the place of collar and crayat upon a scorching day. Pitcuresquely, it dresses the neck. Practically, it serves to absorb perspira- ton from the face, if you are play ing golf CT tennis or even lounging about club grounds. The question is often asked whether it is permissible for sportsman to go without his scarf for the sake of coolness, merely leaving his shirt open this practice may be condemned, but if, at the throat. If only men are about, ! as often happens, women are present either as participants or on-lookcrs, simple deference demands that one by completely attired. Thus. the colored handkerchief takes the place of both

PONN IS FREE FOR ONE MONTH
 AFTER } YEARS
Wizard Waves Magic Wand And Obtains
 $14,OOO Bail

BOSTON, Aug. 6.-Charles Ponzi, financial wizard of pie alley" who five years ago promised "50 per cent interest within 45 days" and had his moment sitting on top of the world with daily cash receipts literally piled high in bushel baskets on the floor of his modest walk-up office, again struts the streets of Boston free man.
 By a bit of the same amazing wiz ardry with which, almost over night, he massed a prodigious fortune, the dimin- utive genius" raised another 4,000 Wednesday and met bail in Suffolk court just in time to save himself from another months detention pending trial on state charges of larceny.
 He had just been released from Ply mouth jail following completion of a five year federal term on conviction of using the mails to defraud. But it looked like tout of one jail into an- other" unless he could assert his "genius'' once more and induce some one to go his bond of $14,000. And at the last moment a close friend of the Ponzi family, Mrs. Benilde Malaguti, a bondswoman, presented securities in that amount and the erstwhile manip- ulator of millions stepped out of the detention pen into the arms of his wife, a free agent for one month.
 Next month Ponzi will be tried on ten indictments found by the Suffolk county grand jury charging larceny.
 As soon as he was formally releas- ed, the former get-rich-quick operator embraced his wife, who has stood by him through all his hectic career, waved a stubby arm at reporters and photographers ,and slipped out of the courthouse without a word.
 It probably was the first time in his life that Ponzi passed up chance to be interviewed.
 Several years ago Charles Ponzi electrified New England with glitter ing promises of fabulous profits in for eign exchange transactions.
 Business grew rapidly for Ponzi, but, it developed only into rob Peter to pay Paul" proposition. Thousands of small investors lost an aggregate of untold millions, and five banks, indirect ly connected with Ponzi's operations, were forced to close their doors. At his coming trial, Ponzi, as in his ogin- inal trial, is expected to conduct most of his defense himself.
