The Face and the Collar Fashion Tip
A New York Sun piece advises men seeking a thinner appearance to choose a four-in-hand dark tie drawn tight to elongate the face. It prescribes high closed collars for stout men and warns open collars make the wearer look fatter, while cross effects add width for the thin man. Plastron scarves have little impact.

Snuff in Senate Boxes Tied to Ancient Rule
Since the first senate session snuff has been provided for members. The secretary buys five pounds yearly, kept in two boxes near lobby entrances. Any member may take a pinch. No takers currently, yet the snuff remains fresh and untaken, under an old unaltered rule. The last contingent fund report item cites five pounds of Copenhagen snuff costing $29.60.
