ON THE WAY TO NEW YORK

you can have1 your suits made at his tailor's? Yes, but one of my friends advised me to buy ready-made clothes. Oh, you believe that they suit you better? Don't you like clothes of English cut? They are very much in vogue at present, but I prefer that the tailor take 2 my measure for those of the latest American style.

What did you notice in that shop window? I never saw anything more useful than that leather toilet case. My father didn't want to buy it at first, but when I showed him the usefulness of it, he saw that it was what3 I needed for the trip.

It contained the following toilet articles : a box of tooth powder, a toothbrush, a safety razor, and a little kit which contained buttons and different kinds of thread. Can you imagine anything more convenient than that ? The price 4 was not dear, for my father said that it would have been cheap at any price whatsoever.
