Where. than. is the science! in the

prises will not justify advertising. The
operator who sub-divides blue sky and
seeks to-sell corner lots cannot do do
however much money he may expend.
however extensively he uses the psp

be combined. It is not in the enter.
prise to succeed. Hence'the value at
advertising, Judgment. .
But suppose the enterprise and plan
to be feasible. what an intinite amount
0'! work and skill are required in or-
der to make Just the right combina-
tion. What a thorough knowledge of
human nature is necessary. What a
line sense of artistic effects. What a
keenness and clearness of rhetoric. All
these qualities are not the result of
luck, are not in the nature or a gam—
ble. And yet they are essenth ele-
ments in any great and permanent ad-
vertising success.
it is high time that this absurd idea
that advertising is a. game of chance
was exploded. Advertisers should be
warned against. it; . editors should
puncture it. it has done infinite dam-
age in the past: it is working great
mischief still. it is {also in concern
tion and results disastrously when put
into execution. it degrades a noble
science: it debsses a. worthy art. Do
not. for a moment believe it. Distrust
any agent. paper or solicitor who urg-
es you to "try your luck."
it you have any advertising to do. do
it rightly. careiully. thoroughly and
trust nothing to chance. In this way
and in this way alone. can you hope
for success.»New England Press.
MEN'S WINTER FASHIONS.
And so much for neckwear. Waist-
coats these days have become a mat-
tor of sonic attention. The waistcoat
for evening wear is a bit higher. and
the U shape is the one in vogue. White
duck. pique and Marseilles waistcoats
are seen in great profusion at dances.
They are double-breasted with plain
buttons. The metal and Jeweled al—
iairs aflocttd by some men are loud
and in wrettbed form. They should

brown w'slstcoats. with small figures
cut very high. ll shape. are favorites
with frock coats. and white ones are
even worn. out in the same fashion.
and seem to be the specialty of the
Inndoner. and his imitator in dress
from Paris.
Cloves are comparatively unchanged
in style. The brown kid and dog skin
are now more in favor than a year ago.
but the gray. undressed kid is still
worn by many well dressed men. For
the evening white kids with black
stitching are in vogue. and also at al-
icruoon weddings and receptions. This

cumstances should a white waistcoat
be worn with dinner Jacket or Tuxedo.
that black shirt buttons with either
Tuxedo or evening dress are lugub-
