on YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY Corbin’s Corner. THE SENTIMENT FOR FLANNELS. What a tailor says may be worth listening to if he tells what he sees. His own idea of what is good style or what is to be in vogue in a coming season, is worth absolutely nothing, unless based — on his observation of what is being worn, or is about to be worn, by men whose usage rightly makes style. This actual usage he must see and foresee. Then he knows how to act. Then his stock is what his advanced and particu- lar customers are- satisfied with. I always try to regulate my purchases on this plan, and in so far as I succeed | find that my Yale custom, which comes from the campus and all the rest of the country, responds most generously. I can’t always strike it right. I wouldn’t have to be in business long if I could. The foreign woolen men said I was crazy when | put in my orders for flannels for this spring and summer. My stock was really very large when the season opened and | didn’t enjoy the anticipation of the bills. Now I wish I had put in twice the orders all along the line. I saw that the short trousers and the white ducks were to be worn much less this year for all purposes—-golf, tennis, bicy- cle, lounging—but no one could foresee the extent of the demand for flannels for trousers and for summer suits. In this corner I am going to tell from week to week, sometimes in short space sometimes in long, what seems of inter- est as to clothes for men who want pretty good clothes. The flannel popu- larity is the only thing I will speak of this week. It’s a point that grows more interesting every day as the stocks on this side of the water are depleted. F. A.

Pain It Out! a ___ a es mn en oop ren NSURANCE is as mucha part of the serious busi- ness of life as any invest- ment or enterprise. It must be studied, and the decision for or against a certain policy must be given on the facts, if it is to be rightly given. Leave it alone until an agent finds you, and you get into hot water. You suspect that he is giving you at best only half truths, and you don’t know how to test him. If you have thought out the subject, you will get all an agent really knows, but he will not get you un- less he has just the best thing for you. The more intelligently you study our policies, the better we like it. PHOENIX MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE Co. HARTFORD, CONN. | J. B. BUNCE, President. . JOHN M. HOLCOMBE, Vice-Pres’t. CHAS. H.
