Try to Popularize the
 Rose Studded Vest

London, March 9 Rp-Silk manu- lecturers are trying to popularize evening vests for men which have tiny pink roses and other flowers in their natural colors on a background of white or cream.
 A similar style was started in the time of King Edwards youth, and the then Prince of Wales wore the bright vests in an effort 10 boom the dying silk industry in certain parts of England. But the style was short lived. IL was too Pickwickian for the Victorian age, and West End tailors say that vests in the pastel shades will never be used by modern men of taste.

cone type speakers reproduce over

This business about a certain speak
