He never quite knew how it happened, but on his way to the dinner party Mr. Esteridge’s collar got splashed with dirt. He found it out in time and slipped into the tj r st haberdashers became to, and bought a ndw one. “At dinner they had hardly got beyond the soup when Hub- son, the wag of the party, no ticed that my husband's collar was not of the same immaculate hue as his snowy shirt front and he jokingly remarked, ‘Ethe ridge’s collar looks as if the yehow peril was bound to come our way.’ “Mr. Etheridge quickly took up the joke and replied that no John Chinaman had had a hand in ms dress, for the collar was newly bought on the way to the house, and then explained how it came about. “ ‘ Well, though it is a kind of ‘yellow dog’ any one can see it is not a ‘Barker,’ was Dob son’s smart renlv. “ ‘WHY BARKER?’ said my husband. “ ‘Well, Barker don’t cotton to cotton for ms collar-, and any one can see that yours is not linen,’ said Dobson. “Now, Mr. Etheridge likes to he well dressed, }ou know, but he generally leaves it> to me to get his linen goods and he felt a bit annoyed. “ ‘I’ll tell you WHY BARK- PHI. PRheridge,’ said Archer, chiming in. ‘there’s nothing like imported Irish powerJoom linen for collars, and Barker’s collars are made from that stuff every time; they’re shrunk be fore tne collars are cut, too, so when they are nuide 15 they stay 15 and don’t shrink in the laundry.’ “ ‘Well, what is good enough for Bishop Potter’s Lawn sleeves—and you know they are of the finest linen—is good enough for me,’ said Flint, ‘but I’ll tell vou another reason WHY BARKER. They have a habit of fitting well on the neck hand of the shirt and are made four ply, and are the strongest, most flexible I ever wore. They area real comfort.’ “Archer again interposed, I suppose to show off’ his polished scholarship, ‘Barker’s collars never produce the unpleasant symptom from pressure on the jmeumogastric nerve fro m which men employed at desk work often suffer, against which one of our famous physicians recently warned us.’ “ ‘Come off your pneumogas- tric nerve talk,’ said one of the boys, ‘I’ll bet you don’t know d you’ve got one or where it is.’ “But Archer was ready and told him that he would know where it was when he had the hangman’s rope around his neck. “Ilopkiuson, who is a pretty hot tempered fellow, said, ‘I have another reason W H Y BARKER. ‘Barker has re duced my profanity average; his collar button holes are eye leted and slip on over the stud easily, and all you fellows know’ what that means, besides they are made so strong they don’t rip or tear out.’ “‘WHY BARKER?’ ex claimed Brownlow, the dude of the party, ‘I’ll tell you WHY BARKP1R. He always gives you the latest, most correct and snappiest style. Why, Barker collars are make for every occa sion from a christening to a funeral, for busings, for every social function and for morning, afternoon and evening wear.’ “John Franklin, the host, who had been an interested listen* r to his guests, had some thing to say here. John, you know, is pretty stout and is apt to h el the heat. ‘W H Y B A R K E R?’ he said in his hearty voice. “ ‘Barker’s collars and cuffs don’t wilt as others do in hot weather. Besides you can get them in quarter, half and three- quarter sizes and some of us fat folks shrink in the hot weather.’ “‘There’s another reason WHY BARKER. Barker has always made linen collars.' “ ‘Linen collars are stronger, wear longer, and look better.’ said Hopkinson, ‘and when you buy a Barker you know you are not getting a cotton collar at a linen collar price.’ “ ‘How can you he sure of that?’ enquired Mr. Etheridge, who has, you know, a legal turn of mind.’ “ ‘Every Barker collar and cuff is stamped ‘warranted linen” and the laws of the State of New York make it a misde meanor to sell or offer to sell collars or cuffs so marked unles, they are what they claim to he,’ was the reply. “‘Cotton collars,’ said Browiilow, ‘never have a good color, catch the dirt and never keep stiff. I don’t understand how A fellow can wear one. WHY BARKER’S are the smoothest and dressiest I have ever tried.’ “ ‘I once had the curiosity to cut up some collars to find out WHY BARKER,’ said a John Franklin, ‘and 1 found th* ma terial was four ply and that it was reinforced and properly in terlined everywhere ayd especi ally just where collars soonest get smashed in the laundry. I found also that the turned down collars were cleverly made vwth a breadth in them which le" the scarf slip easily, expedites dressing and is another temper saver, friend Hopkinson.’ ‘ How do you manage#:)get your Barker’s if vou should run short on a long trip? It is a Troy, N. Y. house I think some one said,’ asked my husband. “ ‘Don’t worry about that,’ said John Franklin, ‘you ask for Barker’s and you are sure to get them everywhere. I cover nearly every State in the Union in my trips, and furthermore I know you are always sure of them when you get them.’ “ ‘Well.’ said mv husband, “You fellows all seem to be pretty strong on Barker’ (there was not a man there except himself, he told me, who was not wearing Barker collars and cuffs.) and I guess my wife will lay me in a stock when l te}! her.” “Well,’ said Mrs. Wilson, who had opened the conversa tion, “Your husband’s little mishap led to quite a profitable talk. J did not think the meu could be so sensible, or that there could be >-o mai.v reasons WHY BARKER.” “I don’t know that all of their talk was so sensible. I 1 did hear something about a riddle by Dobson,‘Why are our collars like revolvers?” Some one replied because they revolve around our necks. That would not do for Dobson, however. His reply was, ‘Because they are all Barkers ’ “But this I think must have been over the coffee and cigars.” said Mrs. Etheridge as she rose to go to the Company Store and buy a dozen of these nice collars / for her husband.
