GAY PLUMAGE
Business men in Christchurch appear to be much exercised over the freakish dress of the modern young man. They are apparently accustomed to a- certain amount of jriakishiioss ip * the girls they employ in the office, -but the spread of this among the junior clerks has caused much searching of heart. It- is not that the male of the species is un-der-dressed like his female counter part; it- is rather that- he is over dressed. Socks of gay and startling hue adorn his feet, and in order that these may be the better exhibited ho Wears very short tro-users, and shoes that reveal his shapely ankles. He has not yet adopted the fashion of high-heeled slices, but that will doubtless come in time. Nor ha§ ho quite taken to the transparent hosiery of his sisters, though his silk socks are certainly fashioned in the spirit- of imitation. His hair has, of course, always been bobbed, but lie lias lately taken to shingling it as Avell, and doing his best to obtain a
permanent Avave. Next to liis socks, Ills? shirts and tics attract the most attention.—Star, Auckland.
