PAGE 6 THE PINEHUBST OUTLOOK Showing the Visitors Around Bion H. Butler YH r Men's Hand -Tailored Dinner Suits AF A FTER a hard day of topped drives and putts that wouldn't go down, there is genuine exhilaration in a dinner suit. Par ticularly if it is hancLtailored. Pinehurst is no place for machinework anyway. Ours are not merely technically hand-tailored, but finely hand-tailored, uniform in every stitch, and finished with that visible regard for detail identified with genuine custom productions. Dinner Suits, for Men and -Young Men. $60 to $85 Dinner Waistcoats, in white or in black. $ 900 to 15-00 Silk Dress Mufflers, Carmoor-London. DRESS GLOVES, one button gray pique suede. 4'5 No more Luxury Taxes after January 1st 1922, Fifth Avenue, New York Men's Shops: Separate Entrances on West 38th and 37th Sts. Once in a while if it feels right my telephone stutters a few jingles and somebody calls up to ask if the flivver has had her shoe mended or her carbure tor so adjusted that she can get back home if she gets out of sight of town, and then I know we have a party of sightseers who can be coaxed to go out and look over the surrounding sandhills. So we throw a handful of oatmeal in the radiator, and tie a hay wire on the rear door where it will not latch and sally out and pick up two of the expectants and load them in the back seat and step on her and roll down the road in. a pro cession that presently strings out until it is a string, and then scatters until it is a group of isolated fragments. A few tl.iys ago it was a bunch of several score of the Seaboard Railroad officials, and I kind of liked that outfit. I had one from the North and one from the South, and as Ave hit out the Midlands road it was satisfying to see them look pleasant as the photograph man used to tell us half a century ago when he set a little hay fork up against the back of a fellow's head and proceeded to make a flattering picture of him. To tell the truth I don 't have to offer many apologies about that Midlands road, and I like to take the crowd that way. And there is a sort of boyish pleasure in thinking we are all lost as we nose around the roads of Pine hurst and wonder where we are coming out at the next crossing. Years ago Ave used to be the cargo in those personally-conducted tours around Niagara Falls, for instance, before the state had taken the concession from the bunch of pirates that owned all avenues of approach to the falls, and it all comes back again Avhen you have in tow a croAvd that has never seen much of the remarkable sights you are shoAving them here in the Sandhills. And even if the bunch is wise men like presidents and vice-presidents and general managers and all that kind of dignitaries you find that they don't knoAV a bit more about the aristocracy of the high-priced Ayr shire coavs than you do, and it is some Avhat aAve-inspiring Avhen you say that cow over there can trace her ancestry back to her grandfather's grandfather, and then as much farther, and neA'er a one of them in jail, or hanged or ac cused of buying a senatorship for half a million dollars. A railroad man is a mighty big man Avhen he is showing you that the confounded pump you ordered seven months ago from Buffalo has not had time to get here yet, but, brethren, he is not a bit bigger than you or me Avhen you have him out in front of the packing houses at Garran Hill shoAving him the orchard sweep there and telling him that next summer will probably see about thirty cars of peaches loaded there a day. He is figuring then Iioav to keep the Southern from sAviping any of that business, and he is as docile and friendly as a little lamb. That orchard business impresses him, and the croAvds playing golf on four or five or six courses as Ave pass the various links, and Avhen you tell him that Berk shire hog society at Pinehurst entertained guests last fall from as far away as California, Connecticut, Georgia, and I don't know where all, he is interested. And so it is with everybody else Ave oc casionally shoot out over the Pinehurst belt. None of us run around enough. The good roads make it possible o get out fr m Pinehurst h all directions, and the interesting journeys need not be the ones where the speedometer sIioavs the chief interest in the ride. It is the out-of-the-Avay corners and the odd spots that pay the best return and take the lea?" aQoline. That day Ave had the Seaboard folks out AAe met a colored man coming dOAvn the road "on his oAvn power," as 1he railroad man said, and the other one ad ded, "The original transportation sys tem," for he Avas afoot. And that is the Avay to see a lot of the po'nts of in terest that are on hand in all directions here around Pinehurst. It is hard on the batteries, but it is good for the sml to stop the car here and there and get out and do a bit of leg Avork in pla"es Avhere the car is not handy about going. I'very time I unloaded my railroad friends they kneAV what to do Avith their feet as Avell as Jack Dempsey does, and they had lots of fun in Avalking about a bit. . What I started out to say Avas that we ought to have more of these sight-seeing trips, for I find that from railroad mag nate in the sight-see business doAvn to the most unsophisticated boy from the sticks Ave all like to run about and things and here in the Sandhills avc have plenty to look at. A man might Ywe a life time and never get out of hearing of the Pinehurst guns at th? shooting matches and still find neAV things every day Avorth seeing. When Is a Lost Ball? This bit of irony, sarcasm or some thing appears in the form of a sign on a Scottish golf course: "Members will refrain from picking up lost balls until they have stopped rolling." Boston Transcript. The Floor Held "Did your AA'atch stop Aiien it dropped on the floor?" asked one man of his friend. "Sure," Avas the answer. "Did you think it AA-ould go through?" Western Christian Advocate. Foul Play The Scottish boAvlihg team is accom panied by a band of pipers which plays prior to every important match. The general opinion is that this gives a very unfair advantage to the Northerners, Avho are used to it. The Passing Show (London).
