Cowboy Shopper Is One Real Spender

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—When the fop of the Bar-Clrcle-X and the Bar Y ranches cornea up to the city to buy hia winter wardrobe, about the aante time bla more effete brother, the fop of the towns, goes to St. Louis, Chicago or New York to lay tai hia winter wardrobe, so there is little chance of them meeting and comparing notes. With his supercilious air. the effete one might look in scorn upon hia sun-tanned confrere, while the bronco-bustin’ dude of the southwest undoubtedly would break into a guffaw if he saw the ether in a Prince Albert coat and top hat So perhaps it la well that each makes his annual eastern migration about the same time of the year. For the difference between them, at bottom, is very . small, after all. When the one comes back with his new fall suit and his fussy hat and , his spats and gloves and all the rest of it he probably will think be has been something of a spender: Be probably would be iutpHsed to know that the other would look unor him

as a cheap -sport, a piker, a T-wad, who didn’t know how to turn good money loose when he had It. * For your cowboy dude la the origlhal turner-loose of money when it comes to buying adornments. He will spend S4O for a pair of boots. $lO for a pair of gloves, S2O for a hat and $75 for a saddle without turning a hair. Through all the lonesome days and nights when be la "out on the range" he is thinking of the trip he will take to Kansas Q|ty the first time he gets a chance. And when finally be does drift into town, he goes right over to Blank’s and buys hia outfit before be starts to taka in the town, sample the brands of wet roodsqr hunt up » Poker im|
