"When a man finds It convenient to wear colored shirts and cuffs," argues the great medical organ, "he means in reality that he can carry dirt for a little longer without giving offense than If he wore a spotlessly white material." . Though the washing bill Is reduced and the shirts are rot so quickly Grayed by the mechanical processes of the laundry, the paper contends that materials which do not compel constant change by be coming an offense to the eye if they are ever so slightly soiled, are, bound to be worn too long. By keeping his cuffs religiously clean and constantly changing them a man re- ducea his chances or piclcing up bacteria. Cuffs that do not look dirty directly they are soiled are severely condemned. Colored handkerchiefs are declared an abomination. The Journal does qot condemn cuffs, but, on the contrary, says they are an indispensable part of the clothing of the neatly, cleanly . dressed man but they must always be clean and specklese.
