r 'TWILL EE HARD FOR THE FAT MAN SKIMPY CLOTHES FANCINESS TABOOED CELLAR ON" HIP TO RE WORN SOME (By HARRY BAGLEY) Fa,t men, lament your plight. IBocauso Dame Fashion's decision has foreordained skimpy suits this spring, oboso personages of Ogden will j resemble sausages, tightly inserted in a surrounding and all such superfluous ! fol-de-rols and dew-dads as pockets, belt guides and cuffs eliminated, 'tis! said. .Material will be ruthlessly severed sev-ered whore severing is possible without with-out causing personal ombarrassment and with puff sleeves narrow waists, exaggerated ohests and tight pants, the unfortunate heavyweights will remain re-main In old clothes or don coveralls. .Spring fashions will be Impossible. But ye of the rotund outlines and tho double chins caused by ample porterhouse, sirloin and other choice cuts, bemoan not your present condition con-dition without considering tho plight of your slender and sylphlike brothern. 'Twas but a few days ago when a wittily worded circular was delivered deliv-ered to us by the postman, advertising advertis-ing a bargain sale on suits. "The latest wrinkle and only $150." Fat men. under present styles, can don old clothes and get away with it. It falls to tho lot of the skinnier men to wear the grotesque garments. For the passing: of tho belt loops, we cannot can-not help but - grieve. Likewise the cuffs, for custom in past years has firmly affixed this portion of pants as an Institution. Pockets we also admired ad-mired In the past, but with the institution insti-tution of that custom which makes carrying ones kerchief in the sleeve, we do not feel great pain at the passing pass-ing of the pocket. Pockets were duo for oblivion, having hav-ing outlived their usefulness. Evolution Evo-lution has proved, scientists declare, that an unused portion of the human body degenerates in time, and cvcnt: ually becomes useless. So it is with clothes. With tho landlord, butcher, grocer and hundreds of others . clamorin? each month for his share of our pittance, pit-tance, nothing which might be carried car-ried in pockets remains excepting a pockotknifc and statistics show that more pockotknives are lost annually than any other article.
