CLAIMS THAT MEN ARE VAIN

Chicago Haberdasher Declares Stem Sex Have Greater Fondness for Mirror Than Women.

Chicago.—" Women have nothing on men, when It is a question of vanity,” said a well-known clothier and haberdasher with an establishment on the loop. “On each corner of our building we have mirrors, and by actual count ten men have stopped to adjust their ties, straighten their hat brim, or pull up their coat collar to every two women who paused as they went by. “Of course nearly every woman that went by glanced at the glasses, but the men deliberately stopped and preened themselves like so many peacocks. , “Then we have the same thing in the store. A woman will .look ever so many times at herself in the glass before she decides on a hat or .a suit, but a man has to twist around, and almost stand on his head before he is satisfied with his looks.”
