Pablishe d dally hy The Kiar Publishing Co jaee matt pos (office aa seeend-e to ex monthe Bix month itting at his desk with the sweat streaming from his in tellectual brow, the Boston Traveler pilot sends up a roar that sounds good to us: “Women drgss comfortably in hot weather why don't men? Custom decrees that a man wear a coat, a collar and a necktie.” bs You see, he has answered his own question. Wé are slaves Of custom. We are mighty liberal with our criticisms of wom en's attire, but the fact is that there has been ton times as much sensible reform in wonran’s dress the past 40 years as there has been in man’s dress in all the period since he wore knee breec and powdered wigs. We men have long had our nose right on the grindstone ‘of custom and are stupidly keeping it there. About the only changes we make are tight pants for loose, soft hats for stiff, big neckties for little, high collars for tow, and then back again Recently, Judge Babcock opened court in ( “leveland hy Saying, “If everybody takes off his coat and collar, nobody will be considered to be in contempt of the court.” God for giving them Babcock and went to digging in Comparative comfort. It was simply a magnilicent revolution Against custom For senseless loyalty to custom it is man who is pighe aded, not woman, and if you want to study reform of dress you'll find it on / Nyc body, not_man’s, notwithstanding the wit and riticism that have been fired at woman's follies, If men were &S Sensible in red-hot weather as are women, they'd wear some thing like a sheet with three holes in it and a belt. Pure vanity Sud subserviency to custom make a man wear a starched collar amd fecktic, and the fellow who roasts under a coat, when hel, ican have something thin, loose and airy, is largely a victim off@ conceit. +t Boston is pretty good at starting customs.
