Show Vanity Makes Misfits. A tailor tossed Into a corner a suit that had turned out a misfit. "It Is men's vanity that ma'03 nlno-1 nlno-1 tenths of tho misfits," ho growled. "How so?" "Why, when a man comes in hero to be measured ho won't stand In his nntural way. Ho Is too vain. Wo go to tako Ills chest mcasuro, and to havo tho satisfaction of hearing n big number num-ber yelled out ho puffs out his chest llko a plgec-, and then his coat nnd waistcoat nro too big for him. "Ho docs the snmo with his back, stiffening it, If ho is humped, to a military mil-itary erectnpss. Tho snmo with his shoulders; If the'y slope ho raises thom to his cars,, and If thoy aro round ho throws them hack till tho shoulder blades clash together. And If his stomach protrudes ho draws It In. "Thus our measurements aro all wrong, and tho suit, .thanks to tho man's vanity, must go to tho mb'tlt dealer." |
