at Sarno, on the East Florida coast,
where the MiJlitary Institute has a
winter college. Its quite an original
idea, this of having two locations,
but it gives the students a line op
portunity for outdoor training and
work during * winter months and
makes the college very popular. *

It’s the natty little “Fixings” that
lend grace and elegance to the
summer man’s apparel, nobby
shirts, ties, pretty hosiery, with a
dainty line of underwear.
To look and feel “summery” is an easy matter
to a man who trades here.
No matter what a man *s size is, or
what his taste may be, we can
