In the course of his business he met an American gtr! who fascinated him more than his three ‘Wives and his business put together. Allah!

But she knew nothing of the ogher three wives, and they meanwhile knew nothing of her. Yallah! Through the malice of a rival peddier the American wife was in- formed of the other wives of Atdul.

Man must appear to be narrow of shoulder and straight up and down like a beanpole, and his clothes are cut to that develop- ment. His sleeves are so tight he will not be comfortable when he hangs from a side down. The shape of his leg ts more than apparent.’ The correct cut for the fashionable man, just as for the woman upon whose head he has heaped coals of fire these many moons, must be quite short waisted, giving the appearance of being mostly legs, and of wearing a coat shrunken by rain or mistaken meas- ure. He looks moat infantile and help- lens in his new to; The coat curves in to the form so tightly that only corsets worn under- neath can give the proper figure. Lead- ing tailors call it the “Eton belt,” con- structed firstly for men of avoirdupols, who must now appear thin? It laces in front at the lower waist line and hooks in the back.
