April Smiles
Now and TKeh,on a Railroad
Train, Ve'-Heartjhe Conductor
call out, .for instance, at Pittsburgh, "all persons
change here for ."Chicago," 'or on a train stopping
at Philadelphia,, "change here for Boston."
Next Saturday at the graduation exercises
of the Williamson School of Mechanical Trades,
there will be a pathetic and saddening cry at the
separations and pledges of eternal friendship,
vhcn the forty-six young fellows graduating
come to feel that school-days arc broken up,
and "all change here" Svill be the voice in the
air for the rearrangement of their lives.
There are, young people who can change
their life work four times a year, but not wisely.

Men's British Golf Suits
A Recent Importation
The Men's London Shop has
recently received some golf
suits that nre masterpieces.
They arc nil made on the
Sunningdalo model, which is
n Norfolk coat with deep in
verted pleats running from
the shoulders to nenr the
waistline.
The reason why the well
dressed Englishman always
looks so well in his clothes is
that he is comfortable in them.
His tailor achieves a smart
effect without sncrificlntr case.
The British golf suit is a shining example of good style and
perfect freedom.
The suits are made of the finest English woolens, including
the beautiful new silky fabric with a mixture of alpaca in it.
They all have knickerbockers, but many men will wear the coats
with white flannels at country club or shore.
The price is $C5.'
American-made golf suits, many of imported woolens and
some with long trousers, $35 up.
