In the pattemsvof the vests checks predominate, but everything from a plain stripe to a copy of the label on a tea chest Is contained in the collection. His shirts are equally loud In pattern. In numbers the waistcoats have the advantage, but In all other respects the shirts hold their own—and the public eye. Jones says that the styles In shirts change every fortnight and that he would rather be dead than be found wearing a shirt that was not in style. With his trousers Jones is equally effective. He numbers them by the score. They are all of the peg top variety and are In stripes of one color. As the Prince of Wales has decreed that creases in trousers are not good form it is needless to say that Jones' are creaseless. Jones has proved himself to be a good salesman, and when he goes out to visit his customers he leaves his loud suits in his room.
