AMONG MY SOUVENIRS

Clothes may not make the man, but, according to Peggy Joyce, man's clothes help to make the woman. Accepted connoisseur in the modern fine art of collecting husbands, "Miss" Joyce reveals in the Boston Herald that by your tie you shall be classified as Gentleman, Rounder, or Non-entity. Applicants for the process of re-Joycing must remember the sad case of the man who followed her from Paris to the Lido by way of Monte Carlo. As she naively remarks: "Moon-bright Venetian nights nearly made me think I loved him." Then one morning the poor fellow dared to approach her in white socks.

There is obviously a great deal of value in Miss Joyce's cogent analysis of the situation. As she says: "To sum up, the most important thing in life is good taste." It might be added that if a man shows as good taste in the selection of his clothes as surely Peg O' their hearts has shown in the selection of her husbands, he is, as she so wisely puts it, likely to prove a gentleman in other things.
