Another Big Summer Outfitting Day Is Coming Tomorrow
i . .''-,.
An Ounce of Discretion Is
Often Worth More
than a wagonload of enthusiasm. Not a few men
are gifted with sunlike genius in some direction or
other, though only partially developed for lack of
patience and application. Many men arc lazy moons
shining with a borrowed light, and that only full
once a month.
While too much enthusiasm is better than none,
the large majority of us can only achieve an
approach to eminence hy persistent energy, without
which a man is not much more than a two-legged
creature.
Dreaming never catches on to anything, but
with a blue sky in our hearts, common sense in our
heads and some energy and activity to labor, wc may
hunt successfully for a red ribbon of distinction.

Suits That Tone Down a Man's
Temperature and Tone Up His Looks
Almost any kind of shop can turn out suits in which men will feel cool, but it re
quires skill and sincere effort to turn out suits in which men will be cool and well dressed
at the same time.
Cool clothes are not necessarily comfortable clothes, no matter how hot the weather
may be. In other words, a man particular as to his appearance can be very uncomfort
able in the coolest suit on a very hot day. The reason is plain enough. No matter how
cool a man's suit may be he is not going to feel comfortable in it if it is ill fitting, baggy
and poorly mafee.
Good tailorwork is absolutely essential in Summer clothing, because Summer fab
rics are so light and so liable to pucker.
The supreme characteristic of all Wanamaker men's clothing is good tailorwork, but
in our Summer suits it means more than in any other suits.
Tropical suits of "Palm Beach," mohair and brcezeweave fabrics at $18 to $35.
Cool worsted and serge suits at $82 to $65
Flannel trousers, $9 to $12.50.
(Third rionr, Mnrkrt)
Men's Bangkok Hats
Special at $5
The Bangkok hat is that very light-weight

At $3 it is unusually priced.
