Old Clothes and English Statesman

1t is singular thing, by the way,
that to see genuine curiosities Of old
fashioned costumes, there is no place
50 good as the House Of Lords Oh.
perhaps, the House of Commons. There
are plenty of old men in either House
who seem to have permanently adopted
some favorltc fashion of their youth
and clung to it tondly and faithfully
through all time and change as more
romantic souls cling to the memory Of
a lost love. Stand any day about four
0 clock at the rear entrance of West
minister Hall and note SEINE of the
costumes which pass you; the yonng-
er men, of conrse, and many OF the
oldsters. are made up to the hour by
Poole, the fashionable tailor, who cnts
the clothes and sometimes backs the
bills Of the aristocracy. But never
mind these commonplace correct ones.
Look at that STOPPING peer, the collar
OF whose coat comes up behind so far
a, almost ~ touch the curly brim of
his high-crowned hat The coat has
fur collar; it is long in the waist and
long in the skirts, pumped out in front
ike the breast Of a pigeon or panto-
mine prince. | suppose that coat
was in fashion when George the Forth
was regent here. See here a tall old
Commoner IN blue coat with gilt but.
tons, buff waistcoat and tight, gray
trousers. Look at another, who wears
white ducks as they used to be called
in the days of our fathers, tightly
strapped down over his boots-that
man, l suppose, began to dress after
the fashion of the duke ofWellingtou,
and has not noticed any change sinoe
then. Talk of the costume of Horace
| Greeley. Why, our brave and dear
FREUD would be glass OF fashion aud a
mould of form when compared with
some these legislative eccentriclties. As
a matter OF fact, hardly any of our lead
ing statesmen ever dress well. Glad
stones clothes seems to be thrown on
with pltchiolk, as The old phrase was.
Disraell looks like an ancient picture of
| a dandy from book OF mouldv fashions
Bright dresses like plane country man
ulacturer. The marquis of Salisbury is
as shabby-looking as an old clothes-man.
Earl Granville and the duke of Argyll
alone seem to care much about maintain
ing the sartorial dignity of British states
