UOS5ip
MY ATTENTION was called to an nrtlcle In
a newspaper the other day which stated
that the percentage of advertising In the
columns devoted to bargains In dress suits Is
greater than ever before The article went on
to nssert that this Is an Indication that the
public Is economizing and that those who
formerly liked to be referred to ns "men about
town" had seen a great white llRht, or possibly
too much of It, and had become addicted to the
"home life."
This economy theory does not altogether hold
water. The Increase In the supply ot second
hand swallow-tails seems to mo rather to in
dicate that the large foreign element which
formerly was employed In hotels nnd restau
rants has returned to Europe as a result of
having been recalled to Join the various armies.
The average owner of a dress suit who is not
a waiter by profession usually cllns to it like
a skirt to Valeska Suratt. He knows It Is nn
asset; that the style will never alter and that
at night the frayed sleeve and greenish tinge
to tho shoulders will not sho.iv ip. He there
fore can stilt be a "gentleman" when occasion
demands as long as he can And an old sheet to
cut up and make Into a wbto tie.
The waiter, on the other hand, Is going to the
war. He may not come back. Therefore why
not cash In on the old claw-hammer. His coun
try Is going to clothe him henceforth or else It
will bo forced to arrest him, so why worry?
Although well filled with out-of-town guests,
the clubs on the whole did not seem so crowded
as usual over Thanksgiving week this year.
Possibly he business depression may have de
terred some of the customary flock of sports
men from "making their annual visit. It was
also said that the resumption of business on the
New York Stock Exchange Saturday kept a
good many away from the Army and Navy
game. Nevertheless, there was plenty of activi
ty, and many of the country's foremost ath
letes of former years were to be seen.
"Sam" Davis, tho St. Loulji millionaire and
brother of Dwlght Davis, donor of the famous
International tennis trophy, was In town. He
had been shooting In the South, and, speaking
of the spread of the foot and mouth disease, he
remarked that it should have a very beneficial
effect on the quail hunting In the States af
fected, as no dogs were permitted to roam at
largo and, therefore, very little shooting was
being done, In Maryland the birds are thick
tm a result of the dry autumn, which allowed
nearly every young one to obtain Its full
growth.
The foot and mouth disease, by the way, Is
said to be an accompaniment of periods of
drought.
Why Is It that there always appears to be
humor In somebody getting "stung"?
The tale is going the rounds ot the clubs that
a well-to-do young sportsman endeavored re
cently to smuggle Into this State a bunch ot
quail shot In the South. He succeeded In Ki
ting them In without difficulty, but he was not
satisfied to have, them cooked at home or at
hi club, but must needs Invite a number of
guests and glye a dinner at a large' hotel.
Covers were laid for eight, and In the course
of time eight quail were served" And much en
Joyed. After the liquors and coffee the young
man called for his check, and without looking at
it handed the waiter a fifty dollar note. He
was surprised to observe the swallow-tailed
Ganymede still bowing obsequiously, but whis
pering something and pointing to tho check.
Carelessly turning it over tho host nearly fell
baek out ot his chair when he read the total,
S438.
