Don'ts for Men.
Don’t wear an abundance of jewelry; it shows u lack of rellnoment. Don’t wearunpolisned shoes;,it ehowa a lack of neatness which is not commendable. Don’t carry a gold-headed cane; If someone presents you with one, koep It In a chamois skin bag .or a glass case. Don’t wear largo diamonds; men of the best taste wear small ones, no matter bow large their bank account may be. Don’t wear a silk hat with a sack coat; good taste forbids it, oven if Banker l’rinoe Is seen every day on State street wearing both. Don’t carry a cane to business unless it is used from necessity; canes are for the promenade, not for the rush and whirl of work. Don’t think that you do not care a rap for fashion; you do, and whenever you purchase any wearing apparel, watch yourself and you will see that you always choose the latest. Don’t allow tho handkerchief to peep above the pocket lapel; if you have a handsome one, and must display it,take it out boldly and wipe away imaginary tears, causod by your hard lot.
