CUTTING HIS PANTS.
A Funny Man's Criticism of the Sar
torial Artist's. Efforts.
When a tailor puts you on the meas
uring box, with a man guarding: the
door so that you can't get away and
another making a book on the game,
he reels off something like this as he
goes about you with his measuring
tape: "13 2 11 16 S 1 IS 11 40
Gee, you're beginning to get a front,
ain't you? 6 17 side and two hips,
Jimmie 334 36 Can you come in to
morrow or Friday? 19 G House or
a flat, did you say? 2S Custom of
the house to hare a deposit on all or-:
ders 16 What was that last, Jimmie, !
did I say? Oh, make it 23 in the mid
dle What did you say your name
was, mister?"
Now, nobody can make any combi
nation of the foregoing figures which
will spell anything like a decent pair
of pants. But the tailor cares nothing
whatever about the figures which he
calls out to Jimmie and indeed makes
no reference to them in his later op
erations. He knows the pants won't
fit, anyhow, so what's the use? If
you watch him you will discover that
he usually takes up some other man's
measurements when he undertakes
the laying out of that particular gar
ment on which he puts your name.
Having selected from the mass of
papers on his desk a set of figures
which suits him, he goes 'behind his
counter, yawns, looks in the glass,
smooths down his hair, hunts for the
place where he left his cigar and at
last picks up a thing which looks like
a board rule, with a curve in the cor
ner like a hockey stick. If you are
not watching him he will probably
cut your pants by ear and will not
bother to use this implement, but if
you insist upon inspection he'll make
a pretense of scientific use of this in
strument whose, real nature or pur
pose no human being knows or ever
will know.
What the tailor is thinking of as he
begins to make chalk marks in a piece
of blue paper, using this rale as a
straight edge, is the "joy ride" he is
going to have with Marie in his new
auto that evening. It makes no dif
ference to him whether the chalk slips
or not, nor is it important h5w far
along this or that angle he allows the
straight or curved line to run. He
knows they are not going to fit, any
how, so why should he bother about it
overmuch? The only hope you can
possibly have meantime is the one
raised in your bosom when the tailor,
from behind the counter, looks up and
says: "Jimmie, why in the world
didn't yon mark the name on this
gent's pants? Oh, well, never mind..
The tailor goes on making several
cute little pictures on the blue paper
by aid of this curved thing, which has
numbers scattered along it here and
there. He draws in several isoscles
triangles, converging at more or less
the same point; but, not liking the
looks of these, he rubs out some of the
lines and tries over again. Then he
forgets which ones he. rubbed out. It
makes no difference anyhow. At last
he stands off, critically gazes upon the
pattern which he has been casting.
makes a hit or miss crosswise dab
with the chalk which determines,
wholly by chance, how long your pants
are going to be and. smiles to himself.
