HANGING FEES
It has been estimated that the cost to a young man who gets about in New York is about 2dol a day for owning and \yearing a hat and coat. He checks it for luncheon; he checks it at the, cocktail hour—possibly a couple of times—he checks it for dinner; ha checks it at one, two, or three night clubs in the evening, after he has checked it in a theatre. The coat and hat may have cost him, originally, 150dol or' 200dol. At the end of % year it has probably cost him that much to have it hung on various hooks.— Clarence Budington Kellaud, in ‘ Spotlight.’ (Arthur Barker.)
