Show A DONT" FOH BRUSH BOY3. Tko Tullor Tells How tlio Coat Collar le Quickly Ruined. The most difficult thing to fit on a man is a coat collar, and it is the easiest thing to get out of shape, except perhaps per-haps tho knees of the trousers. A tailor molds and shapes a collar with his handa and hot goose to conform with the measurements meas-urements ho has taken of the shape of an individual's shoulders, and it! does not take a great deal of ill usage to destroy de-stroy his work. "The worst enemy a coat collar has, " eaid the tailor, "is tho colored boy who brushes your clothes in tho barber shop, hotel or sleeping car. When ho helps you on with your overcoat, ho reaches nnder for your coattails, grasps the overcoat collar with tho other hand and gives your undercoat two or three smart jerks, which pulls tho collar down and away from the neck and bunches it en the shoulders, and the overcoat finishes tho work of destroying its shape. This should never bo allowed under any consideration. con-sideration. "Tho proper way to keup the coat collar col-lar in place is to shrug your shouldora forward after you have put tho coat on. The collar will then fall into place on your neck; the cloth will adjust itself to tho shape of your shoulders and stay there. Don't pull tho collar about, and tiou't, abovo all, allow the brush boy to pull your coat out of shapo under the pretenso of getting your overcoat on your shoulders. " Brush boyawUl pbasonoto.
