oareiaced Impudence. q have examined your
coat he said, and find it unrivalled; the trim
ming, especially, appears to me very appropri-
ate.''
Delighted to have your appreciation, my
Lord
&c As you said yesterday, Gibson is growing de-
cidedly old; he has no ideas. He could
never have imagined for moment this new
trimming. But tell me, Mr. Stultz, are you in
the habit OF thus trimming all the coats that you
make -
'' Not al-only those that | shall have the
honor of making for yourself, my Lord"
Z" Indeed are you aware that l wear out
great many coats p
will supply you every month with one
which shall be trimmed like this; as to the 9TH
er clothes you may require, l shall leave them
to your own directions, and charge the same price
for them as my predecessor"
every good, accept your offers on the spot.
Henceforth you my tailor, and promise YOU
the patronage of all my subjects
In fine, John ellison was dethroned and Stulz
established himself at the west end in most
splendid style. All the nobility and gentry
t1ocked to his shop-he had the finest and most
valuable custom of London-his fortune increas-
ed rapidly, and he never failed to supply Brum-
mel every month with of the magic coats
trimmed with EI00 bank note as before This
constituted an annual outlay of 10000 francs
(El ,200,) exclusively of the clothes, &C., sup
piled gratis, which amounted to at least an equal
sum.
This was not the only ingenious device which
marked the career of Stulz. The royalty of
fashion is like other dynasties, subject to revou
tons and at length Brummel, having ruined
himself by his extravaganza found himself COM
PEELED to abdcate his throne at the west end of
London, and to leave England altogether in or
der to escape from the clutches of his creditors.
StultZ, with all the diplomatic art of statesman
managed to bend to circumstances. and contrved
to preserve during the reign the favor which
he had enjoyed during the fallen dynasty. The
prince who had succeeded Brummel was young
nobleman belonging to one OF the first families
in England. He would not of course have toll
Grated for an instant, the deposite of bank-noes
IN his coat-pockets and on no conditions what
ever would he have imposed conditions on his
tailor, or designed to accept from him the privi-
lege OF not paying his bill.
1t is true, however, that his bills were never
paid, which amounted to precisely the same
thing
Unluckily, the example set by the king of
fashion was followed by numerous imitators, and
Stultz found himself the creditor of mary youth
full scons of the aristocracy for very consdera-
BILE sums of money, the more or less probable
recovery of which was adjourned to remote peri
DDS, which utterly vanished in the darkness of a
doubtful future The abuse became threaten
ing, and it was absolutely necessary to put stop
to it. To effect this 'sconsummation so deyoutly
wished - Stutlz, never at loss, devised an ex-
pediment with which his fertile imagination spec
Oily furnished him.
One morning the following paragraph appear
ed in one Of the most accredited newspapers in
town:
g Immediately previous to his departure for
Bath, Lord-(the name of the king of fashion
was written in large letters,) commanded a varie-
tVro plo 0f fho hi 4 fhoe
time ordered the payment of his tailor's bill 1t
is now quite the fashion amongst our elegants to
settle their accounts before leaving town for the
watering places"
According to the customs of English society,
this article possessed no peculiarly whatever )
the English press publish every day many still
more Insignificant but it excited the surprise of
Lord C-in the greatest degree, and he instant
ly sent for Stultz.
{" What is the meaning of this paragraph :"
demanded the ''lon" of his tailor, at the same
time handing him the paper.
&c 1t merely means that | am paid" replied
Stultz, with his admirable sang yfroid
g Paid could my steward have possibly dared
to pay your bill without my authorizations
No, my Lord your steward is incapable of
betraying, to so infamous extent, the confidence
you repose in him."
"Explain to me, then, this incomprehensible
enigma"
81 hardly know what TO reply, my Lord but
as a newspaper is intalbe, this paragraph is as
good as receipt for your bill.
&C What is that, sir | am very willing to re-
main your debtor the whole of my life, but TO
take receipt without having paid the money
Do you really imagine that am Brummel :"
''God forbid, my Lord twas never my inten-
ton 10 wound your delicacy; it is merely an in
noceut device that cannot possibly injure you,
but will be very profitable to me. Iremain your
creditor still, that is agreed but all the world
will believe you have paid me. What is that to
you This trait of originality will not injure
you, whilst all our young dashing fellows will
hasten according to custom, to follow your exam
pie in short, they will pay their bills and that
was precisely my object when | took the liberty
of using your magical name, in order TO found
on it an appeal to their purses"
The successor of Beau Brummel was real
prince, and he forgave Stultz Immediately. The
stratagem succeeded to admiration, all Stultz GUS
toners cashed up, and from that moment it was
always rule Ia golden one by-the-bye,) to pay
the tailor's bill before leaving London for Bath.
