Suits in College Style THE COLLEGE CUT IS THE STYLE OE SUIT THAT appeals to the Young Man — and a great many Young Men will have no other. There is a certain dash and finish in the typically well dressed College Man ' s Clothes, quite different from ordinary business styles. For many years we have made a close study of College Clothes having just this air of smart campus st) ' le. We always take pleasure in showing the Young Man Who ' s Looking. W. S.

In other words he is an architect. He has a very worthy ambition to build some of the structures which in centuries to come will be pointed out as representing twentieth century civil- ization. Along with this he has another am- bition to some day live in one of these struc- tures, but this is not an ambition for himself alone. He expects more than mere honor for his work. It must pay dividends of a more substantial sort. He has made his own way through college, and has always been interested in college activities. His cases have been numerous but not serious The senior girls never had any particular attraction for this young man. He was more often a victim of Short Course be- mtchery. His greatest fear is that some day one of them will capture him. Teacher: Give me a sentence using the word debate . Little Boy: When I go fishing I spit on de-bate for good luck.

oni WMT5 Tfic mm Laugh — be merry — be wise Man comes into the world without his consent and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings. In his infancy, he is an angel ; in his boyhood he is a human hyena ' or a pie-faced imp of Satan; in his manhood he is an ordmary mutt. If he remains single he is selfish and lacking in his duties to posterity; if he marries and rears a family he is a chump and easy. If he is a poor man he is a failure and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest but considered smart. If he raises a check the law raises with him. If he IS m politics he is a grafter; and a crook; if he isn ' t he IS neglecting his duties as a citizen. If he goes to church he is a hypocrite; if he stays away he is a smner and sure of everlasting punishment; if he donates to foreign missions and charity he is a four- flusher looking for notoriety; if he doesn ' t he is a grouch and a tightwad. When he first comes into the world everyone wants to kiss him; before he goes out everybody wants to kick him. If he dies young, there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age he has missed hiscalHngandis n, TT , . „ ,, only walking around to save funeral expenses. un, n— I, what s the use .
