The American man no doubt has
had as much as any one else to do

upon the idea. Here was a way that
he could with perfect propriety play
golf with his coat off. He called the

Prince of Wales wore 1t frequently.

Your Baby and Mine

The hoy between II and i is in the

Most of the acts of boy gangs are
engendered by this spirit Of wanting
to do something which will make
them large in the public eye. but
which falls fat because most per-

nuisanceS. and when the ntischieN

to their cave and intimidate him
this is not so much actual meanness
and brutality a s the small boys par

an effort to carry out medieval eX-
