to hold good that the truest, noblest,
brightest traits Of the human charac-
ter, and q due regard for a tidy,
fashionable, comfortable apparel as
can be reasonably afforded, are most
generally found combined in the
same person.
When that astute old statesman
Polonlus, in that immortal advice to
his son Laertes, upon his departure
to school at Paris, told him that his
clothing should be-
"Costly a. his purse could buy,
But not expressed In fancy, rich not
For The apparel OF denotes the man."
He but expressed correct line Of
conduct no more applicable to the
pampered son Of the favorite coun-
sellor Of Denmark's king, than to the
humblest citizen of Ottumwa in this
the nineteenth century. We imagine
that it would be harder for person
to pick a pocket, rob q hen-roost, cut
. throat, or scuttle a ship, in one of
B. Salvo's best, easiest, and most
comfortable fitting new suits. than
1t would be were he arrayed in one OF
those sort of rigs, whose unmentiona-
bles are too short at both ends, with
q coat so tight under the sleeves that
your arms are kept constantly in the
position of q buxzard about to fly,
keeping q mans mind constantly in
rebellion against all the world and
the rest of mankind. From this
stand point how the skillful tailor
who knows exactly how to deity
cover up our deformities, with an ap
propriate, fashionable, comfortable
suit Of clothes, looms up as a benefac
| tor of the human race? We are led
to these conclusions after an inpec'
ton OF some Of the spring suits just
