WITH THE ADVENT to these SHORES of none other than THE ROTUND and illustrious PAUL POIRET PERHAPS better known to THOSE OF the fairer SEX but nevertheless WELL ENOUGH known to THE LESS deadly of the SPECIES, plus the APPEARANCE in a supposedly RATIONAL sheet in the SOMEWHAT LESS rational MIDDLE WEST of a STATEMENT to the effect that HARVARD MEN are the worst DRESSED MEN on any college CAMPUS the floor for DEBATE and a heated. DISCUSSION of the general QUESTION of men's APPAREL is thrown wide OPEN.

THE SCENTED remark as TO the good men of CAMBRIDGE being the worst dressed ON ANY CAMPUS FALLS into self-imposed OBLIVION when the old SAW ABOUT there being NO CAMPUS but a YARD is dusted off and LED FORTH.

BUT SUCH idle SOPHISTRIES are not fitting TO BE TAKING up room IN THIS COLUMN which IS SO FAR filling itself UP QUITE easily and yet SAYING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

THE GOOD M. POIRET IS touring the LAND commenting ON American dress both MALE and female AND although he is QUALIFIED to judge OF THESE things and PASS cutting remarks AND WE are not YET we too are going to INDULGE in a little HARMLESS FIREWORKS.

IN RE college styles AS THEY are really GOING to be worn IN the not so very DISTANT FUTURE WE HAVE a few very pertinent SUGGESTIONS to make, AS IN all matters of such GREAT IMPORT we SHALL BEGIN at the BOTTOM and work up (a steam).

A RETURN to the EARLY greek will be NOTICED in footwear AS shoes are destined TO GO altogether OR BOTH at once as ONE MIGHT be tempted to say.

THIS WILL be made up for BY EXTRA length of TROUSERS and extremely WIDE BELL bottoms REACHING to the ground AND thus covering up the NUDE pedal extremities.

SOCKS and undergarments WILL NO longer be WORN as they too DO NOT show.

THE WHOLE movement is A TREND toward the SIMPLE the extremely SIMPLE, in fact.

SHIRTS and belts SUSPENDERS vests ALL will leave our MIDST.

MAN'S ENTIRE garb WILL consist in A LOOSE double-breasted COAT and the nice COOL LONG trow MENTIONED somewhere in THE wilderness above.

IN this way we will GRADUALLY, approach to THE grand simplicity OF THE early greek A QUANTITY which can ONLY be compared TO THE even greater SIMPLICITY of the MIDDLE WEST.
