A “MAN-ABOUT-TOWN.”

THE MAN WHO SEARCHED FOR HIMSELF. O. Ilenry once wrote a story about a rich young idler besieged with the burning curiosity to see a “man-about-town.” He searched the cafes, clubs and boulevards for years without result. And then one morning the newspapers carried his picture, referring to him as “a well-known man-about-town.” This nonchalant freedom from self-consciousness is one of the charms of the .so-called well-dressed man. He sets the fashions without knowing it. He is IT —without pretending to be. He never indulges in garish style ex- , tremes nor strives for effects in bizarre dress affectations. It is the quiet rightness of his clothes that gives them distinction and savoir faire. And vet, the cost of his clothes may be very small indeed. Chances are, if you asked him. he would tell you that he got his suits from Joe Bierman, the tailor, 599 a. Colombo Street, between Tuam and St Asaph Streets (only address). For though Joe Bierman makes suits at a little move, than half the price of other quality tailors, he cuts them from the best quality cloths, and works into them that quality and finish of the London West End tailor that cannot be imitated by the rank and file. Joe Bierman was for twenty years employed in the West End of London, where is set the world's standard of men’s dress perfection. If you want, therefore, a suit where the quality is high, but the price is low, call on Joe Bierman and give him your next order. 6
