Suck social tri¬ 
umphs as this are 
every-night occur¬ 
rences -with thisfore¬ 
thoughtful young 
gentleman -who al¬ 
lows Vanity Fair, 
that ppfect valet, 
to assist his mind 
into its evening 
clothes. The unfor¬ 
tunate person on the 
right stands outside 
the pale, -womanless 
and alone, because 
he -wears business 
clothes on his mind 
ajier six o' clock. 
Would you wear a flannel shirt to a dinner party? 
Of course not: your hostess would be insulted. 
Isn’t it just as rude to appear there with a workaday mind, full 
of nothing more entertaining than the liquidation of Smith-Jones 
Incorporated, and the ten point drop in Steel.? 
Would you take a nap between soup and fish ? 
Of course not: your partner would be outraged. 
Isn’t it just as rude to bore her with the average productivity of 
grape-fruit plantations on the Island of Bing Tang, the fact that 
you never eat oatmeal for breakfast, and the characteristics of 
the Russian peasantry during your visit there in 1892? 
You buy fresh ties by the dozen 
Why don’t you invest in some new ideas? 
Give as much thought to your dinner conversation as you do on 
your studs. Consider your intelligence as important as your tie; 
your freshness of subject as de rigueur as your top-hat; your 
amusing stories as indispensable as your trousers. 
Dress Your Mind by Vanity Fair 
Au entirely new kind of magazine. 
Devoted to the social side of existence—to the arts, music, 
theatre, sports, dances, operas, fashions, and gaieties of modern 
American life. It offers you current comment and criticism on 
all that is stimulating, novel, and amusing in metropolitan 
society. It keeps you au courant of the world. 
D ON’T be an intellectual hermit crab. Keep your mind open, 
your interests broad, your sympathies warm. Insist on being 
a lOO-per cent, citizen of a 1917 planet. Read
