-I never was In a city -where it appeared -that the entire masculine population seemed to display good sense in dress without going to the' extreme, as in Richmond," said a traveler for one of the biggest cloth houses in the country who wain at Richmond a few days ago. "This is the day of good dressers among men," he continued, but the average of Richmond's size does not display . the good taste that may b? seen heire seven days in the week. It is not a "dress-up on Sunday town," for generally speaking the men in business are good dressers every day in the "week- It is an unfailing sign' that when conditions like this are in evidence there must be many places that deal in clot&ing, the high grade ready-made v and , the made-to-order garments." The observations of the traveling men are interesting, and possibly not one-tenth of the men in Richmond Jiave ever stopped to consider how easy it has been for the city to acquire this reputation. The tastes of men for becoming clothe3 have been acquired in a great degree through the medium of good places to buy and this is what distinguishes Richmond from other cities of like size. There are few of the extreme types of dressers In Richmond, as the traveling men declared, but the average man has garments that indicate his own taste as well as reflecting the taste and good sense of the merchant through whom they were bought. There is another thing which Richmond provides for its men who like good clothing and that is the moderate prices. Ready-made suits of high grade purchased from a number of Richmond establishments at prices ranging from $15 to $25. To-order suits run from $18 to 60, with an average of $30 or $35. As to Style. Style is largely a matter of the way a garment looks on a man; the "hang" of it. the way it is cut, the general "lines" as it appears on the wearer. One can't very well define or describe it, except in the technical language of experts, which none but an expert understands. One important element in correct style is the matter of fit; if that isn't rizht better not wear the clothes no

matter how stylish they are. We

HOW THE PENNSYLVANIA

tPublishers VressJ Philadelphia, Pa., October 29. In view of the discussion of a possibly increased dividend by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Company makes public its methods of declaring all its dividends. This policy derives rather special interest from the fact that the Company has never failed to pay an annual dividend to its stockholders. For many years, it has been the fixed policy of the road for the Directors to refuse to discuss the question of the dividend until the statements and earnings and expenses for the proceeding six months have been completed and are" ready for submiss ion to the Board. When these figures have been made up, meetings of the Finance Committee and of the Board are called. The former meets at eleven o'clock, goes carefully over the statements, and determinus upon its recommendations to the Board as to the rate of the dividend to b3 paid, based upon the earnings of the previous six months. The committee continues in session until twelve o'clock, when, without leaving the room, t.ie members appear before the Board of Directors, which meets Why not call that will enable

show you clothes that are right in that respect, as well as in correct style. Fit means that the garment "drapes" right; that it hangs properly, and looks as if it were made for the wearer. But-there is" one other thing that is essential Quality. Important ae correct style and fit are, quality , is more important- For this reason: No matter how stylish and perfectfitting a garment may be when it is new, if - it Is made of inferior materials, it will soon lose all Its style and fit. If a man cares about style at all he cares just as much about it during the second or third month of wearing of a suit, as during the first few days. In this respect the situation in the clothing business -is' peculiar. Allwool fabrics have 'been known, from the earliest times, to be best for use in clothing.. No fact about clothes is more positively fixed nor more generally agreed to than the fact that if you want really good fabrics they must ' be all-wool, Every clothing manufacturer, every dealer in clothing, and pretty nearly every wearer of clothing, knows that to be so. But now ..that wool is high-priced, and the cost of all-wood fabrics has increased considerably, nearly all the makers of clothing are using fabrics which are part cotton. It began with the use of a small quantity of mercerized cotton, which looks a little like silk, to mark a pattern in weaving. The substitution of "mercerized cotton" for silk not only cheapened the cost of the materials used, but it cheapened the dyeing and some of the other processes- But it did more than that; it showed that the trade was willing to accept a little less than the highest quality standard, and that the public, through believing thoroughly in all-wool, could be fooled into taking adulterated goods. Then a perfect flood of cotton mixtures filled the market; some have as little as two per cent of cotton; others have as much as eighty per cent. The weaver's and dyer's skill makes them look well at first; but such fabrics are a fraud and a cheat You'll find plenty of such clothes whereever you go. The dealer may tell you honestly just what they arecotton mixtures. If he is still further cotton it contains; but he probably

DECLARES ' ITS DIVIDEND

at that hour. The report is then concaroH and the necessary action is taken by the Board in declaring the dividend. Thus there is no chance for any leak of information or for any one or more of the Directors to know what the dividend will be, and the announcement is given to the public immediately after the adjournment of the Board. Any attempt, therefore, to forcast the dividend rate for any given six months is merely gues work. The Rev. Irl R. Hicks 1907 Jffmanac. The Rev. Irl R.

doesn't know. If you buy such clothes you are at least entitled to know what they are. As to Correctness. Some men don't know how to dress correctly; some men dont care. It's just as easy to put on a white tie as a black one, and often one is correct and the other is wrong. The "proper thing" is usually the easy thing; all you need is to know just what Is the proper thing. Every man who wants to dress absolutely correctly, as many Richmond gentlemen do, must have suits of three kinds; he cant do it with less than that. These are: The sack suit; the double breasted black frock coat with light trousers, sometimes called the Prince Albert suit; and the full dress. ,You can live and be respectable with only the first of these to wear; but you can't dress i correctly. For Business Wear. , The sack suit is the usual thing for business wear; but what is known as the English Walking Frock is now worn for business by many men wjo like the greater dressiness of the coat. In either case sack or business frock the full suit is of the same fabric throughout; coat, waistcoat, trousers; but it is quite proper with business clothes to substitute fancy or washable waistcoats. Fancy or plain shirts are worn for business, and neckwear in a variety of styles. The correct thing in hats, shoes, etc., for business wear is frequently a matter of individual taste. In summer especiaiy much liberty in these matters is permitted. There are also a variety of correct styles in overcoats; for business and everyday use , any of them is the proper thing. So much for business wear; you can dress pretty much as you please for business of your clothes are stylishly made, of good materials, and if honest, he may tell you just how much RAMSEY MAY NOT ACCEPT. England's Distinguished Chemist Will Hardly Come to Smithsonian Institute. Publishers' Press London, Nov. 2. Sir William Ramsey, England's most distinguished chemist, will probably not accept the vacant secretaryship of the Smithsonian Institution. The news that the post would be offered to him, cabled heijeesterday, came as a surprise to r William, himself. "It is the first I had heard of it," he said, when shown a copy of the message. "The offer is a great honor but I fear I cannot accept, as my work in England is so attractive." Japs Buying Tobacco. Richmond, Va., Nov. 3.

they fit you. But when you . get away from business clothes this freedom of choice is lost; for social . affairs you must dress by rule, and there is no choice about it. ' For Daytime Functions. - For instance : For any sort of a day-time function day wedding, afternoon calls; for church on Sunday, anything before six o'clock p. m. for wiiich you "dress-up", you may be very welcome iu whatever clothes you wear, but you won't be properly, dressed except in a double breasted black frock coat. You may say you will not submit to these requirements; that you have so little use for a frock coat that you will not invest In one. But that doesnt change the facts; you've not properly dressed without it. The rules for day dress, so-called, are these: ' - The double breasted black frock coat; waistcoat like the coat, or of white duck pique, or other fancy fabrics; trousers, light fancy stripe; shoes, patent leather, high ? button, with cloth or kid tops, although low patent leathers are now permitted;, shirt, plain white perferred, though light colored fancy patterns are now worn by very particular dressers; the high standing or wing collar; Ascot or-four-in-hand tie; high silk hat. For affairs a little less than sternly formal, like church, friendly calls etc., you may substitute, the cutaway, for the doi ble breasted frock; the rest of it will be the same. That's all there is to it; if you dress for these occasions any other way than this you may look beautiful, but you're not properly dressed. , : ' Correct Evening Dress. For evening functions the rules are simpler, and equally rigid. ' For formal affairs, with ladies: The full-dress or "swallow-tail" coat; waistcoat, single breasted like the coat, or single or double breasted of white silk or pique; trousers like the coat; shirt, plain white, full-dress, with standing or wing collar never a "turned-over" collar; as for jewelry, it used to be considered bad form to wear, anything but white studs and cufflinks with full-dress pearl or mother-of-pearl; now gold or jewelled studs are worn with full-dress, and variety in this matter is permitted. With! full-dress wear white or light pearl

silk or opera hat and any long over coat. Informal Evening Affairs. For evening dress at,less the most formal affairs "smokers," stag par ties, club affairs, home dinners, etc., the rules are modified a little.

For informal evening affairs, stag parties, etc., Tuxedo and its accomplishments; except that this coat is often worn to the theater even with ladies; it isn't "strict form," but it "goes.'', " r A Few Donts. Dont try to get along without a frock coat, a full-dress suit, and a Tuzedo.. The ttotal investment required is not great, and it will pay for itself in satisfaction the first time you wear the clothes. Dont wear a frock, coat to an evening gathering of any kind, except Sunday evening. If you do it's a sign that you havn't a dress suit, or dont know how to dress properly. If the affairs doesn't justify evening dress, go in business clothes. Dont wear a white tie with a Tuxedo coat, nor a black tie with full-dress; you'll see it done, but never be guilty of it yourself; you know better. Dont for heaven's sake wear a high silk or opera hat with a short coat; the high hat demands a long coat; remember that when you next wear a Tuxedo and wonder if your opera hat is "proper." Dont wear any but a high silk hat with a frock coat. Dont forget to be particular. HAGERST0WN. Hagerstown, Ind., Nov. 3. (Spl.)Mr. George Dragoo is on the sick list.
