You'll hear some
thing like this every
time you turn a cor
ner to-day, if you keep
your ears open. As
you walk along, you
will also be likely to
hear some thin gen
tleman remark to a
friend:
"Guess I'll go into
my heavy flannels to
morrow, old boy."
Now, this is very
wise; but our friend
will find on investiga
tion that his wife has
either sold his last
year's underwear to a
rag-peddler or traded
them off for tin-ware.
But a happy consola
tion arises in the fact
that the most exten
