Old.FashiOned Garments.

My first recollection of fashion is that
old men, especially those of the better
classes, wore short breeches," as they
were called with knee-buckles and long
stockings, closely fitting the legs. Young
men and old men not governed by fash.
ion wore pantaloons or breeches, with
legs descending to the ankles. In a short
while pantaloons supplanted breeches,
except in rare cases of old or eccentric
men. Pantaloons were worn mostly
without suspenders, but gradually their
convenience brought them into general
use. Pantaloons, made at first 10 fit the
limbs, soon began to be cut according to
the arbitrary dictates of fashion. At one
time the legs were of enormous size
large enough for mail bags-and at an.
other they were made of elastic stuff and
fitted to the limbs as closely as the skin.
Boots underwent changes quite as strik-
ing as did pantaloons. When / was a
boy old men wore fair-top boots. They
were long enough to reach the knee,
with q broad belt of smooth leather, of
Its natural color, around the top, and
the remainder polished with backing,
They were pressed down and rumpled
about the legs, 80 as to expose to view
considerable portion of the stocking be-
tween the upper edge of the boot and
the knee.buckle. The dandies wore
boots of a different style. Their legs
were stiff, reaching rather more than
halfway 70 the knee, cut at the top and
in front in the form of heart, with
black silk tassel suspended from the low.
est point of the indentstion. They were
called "Surrow boots;" why, ] know
not. nor am I sure that my spelling OF
them Is correct.-RecOliectiOn' Of Rev.
