They say this country is going

His friends may pass him by.
He may not have thin dime LETT
To rent slab Of pie;
But if he owns the homeliest
And saddeSt dog in town,
He has one pal whose honest love
Will never turn him down.
"a man may kick his NANCY pup
And cuss him day and night,
Still will the faithful cur be true
And greet him with delight:
Life long he sits upon the porch
And wags his happy tail.
To greet his lord when he shall
come
From Congress or from Jail"

 These are the very words with which one of our male editors greeted me this morning. Seems he saw Q dusty white felt hat fin the elevator, and he apparently thinks tho time is ripe for another lecture on the importance Of neat- ness and being perfectly grooTned from head to foot. Anyway, the fact that Q man prompted this dis- cussion should give women food for thought.
 Everyone who wants to look meticulously turned out ought to realize that Q hat brush, clothes brush and q cloth for wiping dust off shoes are just as necessary to this end as hairbrust, Q powder pun or Q good lipgtick,
 You simply can't look your best if your dress needs pressing of # your hat, shoes and gloves are soiled even Q trihe. Expensive they need not be (the cost of your ward robe has nothing to do with the leatness of it), but tidy and clean they must be. A ten dollar dress, perfectly pressed and set of with spic and span white collar and cuffs looks Q thousand times better than an eighty-five dollar one that should be ct the cleaners.
 Remember, too, that, especially in summertime, hats and shoes should beaired inside and out oc- casionally. USe . bit of cleaning fluid to freA1en up inside hat bands. Always put shoe trees in your sIlp- pers and don't forget about wiping them carefully. Also, keep An eye on the leather lifts of shoe heels. It's . mistake to wear them . single hour after they begin to look run- down.
