BRATTLEBORO, VT, FRIDAY,

her prerogaiivef The ladies', according TO
COpley's paintings, preferred red satin and
pearls to any other toilet. Red, indeed,
seems to have been a favorite color with
them, for the authorities OF Philadelphia,
in order to drive red oloaks out of use, (for
what reason we don't knOw,) took the
novel but tTectlVs method of dressing a
woman In one to go TO the gallows. The
authorities Of the Quaker city seem, in
deed, to have thought IL quite their duty to
correct the fashions, for on another occa-
sion they sought 10 make the "tower" head
dress ridiculous by setting 1t on IL very tall
mans head and marching him through
the street TO the sound of drum. IIeio is
hint 10 the dress reiurmers. Low necked
dresses were an abominatiOn in Boston AZ
long ago nv 1891. II is no wonder the pub
li0 has al last got used Ia them.
Food WAS cheap. In. l74O, meat in Bos-
ton retaIled ut two pence pound, aud a
twelve pound cod could be bought for the
same. TeetOtslism had not then been in
vented. Cider was three shlllings barrel
and universally drank at meals in Massa-
chusetts. Flip and tOddy were sinful
drinks also much In vogue with our aban-
dunod ancestors. Madeira was tho iavorile
wine all over the country, and rum punch
found favor without distinction Of party.
The students Of Harvard were allowed "in
sober manner TO entertain one another
and strangois with IT," the corporation
having decided RUN punch "as II is now
commonly made, no intoxicating liquor"
Nova. days, Massachusetts courts decide
lager beer to be intox icallng Can 1t be
that our heads are sO much weake than
our fathe 81 There were plenty OF chances
to wet ones whistle in those days. Que
house in every ten la Philadelphia sold
drink, in l774. So the grand jury found.
As early ~ the middle of the last century
IL was complained that Harvard under
graduates were in the increasing habit of
"irequeniing laverns and ale houses" The
habit seems to have grown on the students
for We now learn that tho headquarters Of
the college are pleasantly and convenient
~ situated In Parkers bar rooms" II was
complained too, that the Harvard students
had the other bad habit OF "proraue curs-
ing and swearing" which last it WAS prov
ed the other day ut the regatta, they have
now got completely over. Our fOTefathers
played cards n good deal and generally
With small stake. 1t is comfort to feel
how mach better we are. A single theat-
rical company sutficed for the continent
and the West Indies, bringing around once
in II year or two.
History no longer despises such appa-
renIly trivial details OF the daily life of past
generations as we have given. In the
hands of the modern historian they are
utilized to give US that fellow feeling with
the men aud women Of the past, that
homey sympathy without which we in
vain seek 10 reproduce their lin, in iHiag-
iuatiOn.
