turning their attention to why the
young men of America have become
so much more "dressy" than they used
to be. A writer who claims to have
studied the subject carefully says they
undoubtedly are; declares the pocket
mirror and the lipstick are now the
constant companions of many men and
predicts It Is but a question of a short
time till men will again wear ruffles
and laces and costly fur collars. The
war is said to be to blame for these
affairs, the young men having become
so vain and so accustomed to admlrn*

not relish returning to the sedate
clothing they once wore.
