A BAD FIT ALL ROUND
TJie late James McNeil Whistler was standing bareheaded 5n a hat shop, the assistant having taken his hat to another part of the shop for comparison. A man rushed in with his hat in his hand, and, , supposing Whistler to be the shopman, angrily confronted him. ' See here, he said, ' this hat doesn't fit.' ' Whistler eyed the stranger critically from head to foot, and then drawled out :
' Well, neither does your coat. What's more, if you'll pardon my saying so, I'll be hanged if I care much for the color of your trousers.'
