R. GROH. “Guess I'll have to puy a new suit this fall,” I heard -a well known Omaha banker say. “I've worn this one three winters now and it's about There are a number of things I'd rather do than buy clothes.” Nobody could deny that it was “about worn out” Yet this man could array himself in purple and fine linen if he wanted to, for his wealth is beyond the well-known “dreams of avarice.” Why is it that nine out of ten men hate to buy clothes? Why is it that nine out of ten women love to buy clothes? One question is as hard to answer as the other. A woman is in her glory when she is wearing a new dress or hat. (Am 1 not right, madam?) A man always feels best when he has on his old clothes. Happy, indeed, is woman when she has on some “latest creation” that makes all the other women turn and look at her. And wretched is the man who has ‘on something that makes other men turn and look at him. " That Inner Man. And yet, subconsciously, men want to be “nifty” dressers. This desire is recognized and appealed to by/ the clothing ads, which show the “well- oomed” man surrounded by admir- ing ladies at the opera, or perhaps he is addressing a “board of directors,” who look with approval upon his per- fectly tailored garments, or maybe he is at the “regatta,” cheering on his crew, We see him in the movies, too. My, my, what swell dressers are the men in the gnovies!" Honestly, now, fel- lows, every time you see one of those heroes don't you feel like going and uying a new outfit and becoming a “classy” dresser? ldo\lz The “Movie” - Their trousers| fit tight, you know. So do their coats, and the coats are ton, the lower one. They wear famcy vests and have a sort of debonnaire, blase, bored air as they saunter lazily about in a sort qf hollow-chested way., They wear spats and -carry a stick and, of course, they always - wear gloves. ' Thev'd as soon go without collars as without gloves, And in their evéning. clothes, my, my, but they do. look swelll And then they have.negligee suits for golf, gray tweeds, probably, with patch pockets and flaps that button over, These chaps never walk anywhere, There is always a big limousine or touring , car, with a respectful chauf- feur, waiting for them. And they all live in the dandiest apartments, where there are oriental rugs and fireplaces and divans and vahzes and beautiful pictures. . Men to Dress "Em. And they have valets, (Note: In the best circles we pronounce this “valet” sounding the “t” and not "valley."]r My, my, yes, they all haye valets. They never could get along without valets. In cold weather they wear elegant, big, fur-collared overe coats—the men do, you understand, not the valets. Yes, we all admire these heroes, We'd love to be like them. But some- how we just keep on wearing our shiny suits till they get too awfully bad, and then we dash into a store some day, or to the tailor's, and buy another and keep it xrened up nicely ~—for a few weeks. And then, back to the old habit. ’ g It simply isn't in us to look nifty like the fair sex, It comes natural to most of them. It comes unnatural to ‘most of us.
