Special to Men Who Live and Laugh the Whole Summer Through Lots of very nice nien say they prefer Winter to Summer, but of course they don't they only think they do. Your real healthy, human sort of man knows that anything as genial and glorious as Summer must have been made for him to enjoy --and he just goes ahead arid enjoys it. Like as not. this same kind of man will be found romping with the young folks in the January snows, but Sunyner glorious, laughing Summer that is the particular delight of his life. Curmudgeons can do as they please we are not speaking of them but Of genial-hearted men who instinctively feel, even if Emerson had never told them, that they, too, hold a share in all men's possessions in life, in nature and in hope. It may be a tremendous distance from Emerson to the business of selling men's clothing, but the Sage himself would admit that, since men must wear clothes, they should wear the right kind of clothes in hot weather, the kind in which Summer will still be a particular joy. For tropical weather there is only one right kind of suit and that is a tropical suit, and every good man, who takes the proper altitude, that is, the joyful attitude, toward Summer should have one. Men of that kind are really too good to be made ridiculous in their appearance by baggy-looking, poorly-made, wrongly fashioned, ill-fitting tropical suits. This is one store in which men who want well-cut, well fashioned, well-tailored tropical suits will-be sure to find them. Palm Beach suits in fancy and plain shades, $25 to $35. Silk suits, $40 to $45. Tropical worsted suits, $35 to $60. White flannel trousers, $18. .Gabardine, white, $8.50. Striped serge, $10; white duck, $5. (Third Floor.
