- Why did not this young man’s parents see to it that he acquired black shoes to go with his formal togs before this hideously late hour? Because they were feverishly busy seeing to it that he collected a Tux, a dress shirt, a wing collar, a black tie, two collar buttons and a carnation, and it was only after they had latched his collar, tied his tie and handed him a handkerchief that their solicitude got down to his feet. Artist George Hughes believes that this lad, a typical male, may become slightly, though not much, easier to organize into evening dress by the time he is seventy-five years old. Meanwhile, how long do you suppose it will take Junior to scrub off the shoe-blackening he will presently get on his left wrist?
