The 10 eal Mans Dress.

Wentworth H'gShe in Pdu AdH Gd-efs
On the question of picturesqueness | do
net differ with Mr.. Wilde. l do prefer the
cavalier 10 the macaroni, Vapdyke to q
lawrence and the first Charles to the third
George.
But unfortunately, and those who think
with me cannot permit pictureSqueness to
pe imported into the question. We take
tactical views OF the subject Of reform in
mems dress, and those qiews do not go be
yerd utility, convinience and appropriate
mesa. These secured, pilturesqueness might
olIow, provided that greater individuality
rere permitted and encouraged in the mat
or of costume.
Ii is, in fact, this want Of individuality,
this slarish adherence to inconvenient fash
ions, because they are the fashion, that lies
at the root of the whole matter, and until
hat difficulty is surmounted no real reform
can be hoped for.
Meantime there can be no. harm IN TAX
ing q step, necessarily modest and timid, in
be direction of reform.
= With that end in view asked Mr.. Fred
eric Weeks TO sketch for me the costume t.
which pin nv faith. The felt hat is broad
enough in the brim TO shield the wearer :
face from wind and rain, should he be un,
fortunately be caught ir storm without an
umbrella the cape on his overcoat WOULD
perform the same function for his shoulders
and the skirts for his knees; the circulation
of the blood Of the neither man would no.
Lc impeded by the breeches. made Of "sll
wool" material, and properly cut below the
knees be is snugly clad in leather boots.
~hch may be az soft or as stiff as he likes
Beneath his ovcrcoat he wears a jacket
cut 10 the figure and buttoning well up TO
he neck. do not myself see anything in
his costume that would excite a desire in
he minds of the mob TO cave brick AZ
he wearcr. 1t il, according to my notion
simple, manly, convenient and appropriate
