Men I'm potticoats.

Men appeared in Elizab-,h's time In ruff,
pleated and plated as dsintily as anydsme;
they carried fans and pocket glasses by
which to arrange any occa,ional disorder
in the dress. Then, too, they carried
muffs, and revived fashion OF wearing
earrings. But lest IL should seem that this
arrangement Of men is, piece by piece.

masculine privileges, and took to rulls, that
keen competition began, in which eacn
sex strove TO Guido the other In extrava-

II borne on linen trenchers. Earrings, too,
were worn by men before the conquest.
This cannot be held to exhonerate men
from blame, nor divert us from the conclu-
sion that at certain periods men have
adopted an unseemly display and been
guilty Of an effeminate refinement in dress.
