Dean SWift's Hatred of Foppery,

Dean Swift was great enemy to ex-
t:avagance in dress, and particularly to
that distinctive ostentaton in the middle
class, which leads them to make an ap-
pearance above their condition in life. Oh
his mode of disappearing folly in those
persons for whom he had an esteem, the
following instance has been recorded
When George Faulkner. the Printer, re-
turned from London, where he had been
soliciting subscriptions for his edition OF
the Deans works, he went to pay his res
poets to him, dressed in laced waistcoat
a bag wig and other fopperics Swift re-
ceived him with the same ceremonies as il
he had been a stranger. "And pray SIR
said he, "what are your commands with
mel" 81 thought it was my duty, sir,''
replied George, "to wait on you immedi-
ately on my arrival from London" "Pray
sir, who are you!' "George Faulkner.
the Printer, sir"
"You George Faulkner, the printer
why you are the most impudent, bare
faced scoundrel of an imposter have ever
met with, Faulkner is plain sober citi-
zen, and would never trick himself out in
lace, and other fopperies. Get you gone,
you rascal, or will Immediately send you
to the house OF correction" Away went
George as fast as he could, and, having
changed his dress, he returned to the Dean
erv, where he was received with the great
est cordlality. "Mv friend George" SAYS
the Dean, Il am glad to see you returned
safe from London. Why, there has been
an impudent fellow with me just now,
dressed in laced waistcoat. snd would
iain pass himself off for you, but l soon
sent him away with flea in his ear"
