REV. DR.. A. c. HIRST.

DR.. Hirsrs elegantly fitting garments
would as readily give him entree into the
drawing-room of the most fashionable
residence as they do TO his pulpit at the
Simpson Memorial Church. There is, per-
haps, no better-dressed man in the city
than the Rev. DR.. Hirst.
There is no starch in his fue black
broadcloth coat. yet it fits every curve of
his torso as though nodded to it. There is
a decisive and fashionable fold running
the entire length OF the trousers worn by
DR.. Hirst, and the cresses at the knees
are no more numerous nor prominent than
they should be in the trousers of a we'll
dressed man who understands that the
tailor-shOp neWness in clothes is not the
proper thing.
Evidently DIR. Hirst is not one of those
pastors who club together TO get their gar
ments from the East below market prices.
For aught this historian knows 10 the con-
count from his tailor. though Appearances
are against that theory.
Certain it is that DR.. HiIst's tailor is a
man OF skill aud artistic taste. By no
means dude Is his patron of the cloth,
yet, so far as clothes make the man, very
much of polished gentleman is the Rev.
DR.. Hirst.
But clothes never made man like Dr.
Hirst. Though fastldinus to an artistic
degree in his apparel, DR.. Hirst has a mind
and does work that are far above the
minor details Of dress.
Met in the street for the first time, even
the casual observer would know him for a
strong man. Met even i'll the ballroom
which is merely a suppOsition for argu-
menCs Sake-yOu would know that this
Well-dressed gentleman of exquisite bear
ing was fitted by nature and education
for more dignifed and useful sphere in
life than that of leading the german.
This is true, but what is more pertinent
to the present discussion is that so earnest
and able cleric as DR.. Hrst is yet so par
ticular in the details of his dress as to be
what fashionable society means by the
word ''presentable" at all times and
places.
The morning call., 1893-08-27

reason for this is the absence of stiffness
and self-consciousnes that are always
characteristic of the dude.
DR.. Mackenzie is as easy and graceful 10
his fine garments as YOU or are in our old
clothes. He takes his comfort in his Sun
day clothes, which is more than most Of
us are able to 90. And the reason of that
will probably be found in the fact that his
Sunday clothes are no different from his
weekday habiliments. Therein lies the
secret of many well-dressed man.
Who ever saw DIR. Mackenzie in a coat
that was wrinkled or in trousers that
Dagged at the knee? Ii you know the
man you know how useless the query is.
A man careful and painstaking, appa-
rently, in his dressing. yet enjoyably free
from the con seriousness of it, Is this elo-
quent, able Presbyterian divine. You
see it in he artistic folds of his cravat. In
the perfect set of collar, in the precisely
proper show of cuff below the coat sleeve.
in the studied carelessness and artistic
completeness of the entire costume. And
IL i pleasing to the eye.
His el3quence might be the same in n
coat that was threadbare, and his earnest
ness would not be diminished if there were
bags at the trousers knee. Yet you would
not recognize such person as DIR. Mac
kenZie. You would have to reconstruct
your whole conception of the polished,
eloquent and elegant Mackenzie TO recon-
cile his personality with that of a care
lessly dressed man. And you will never
be called upon to perform so difficult and

Such man is the Rev. Rabbi Voor-
sanger. lie is more than that. tits true,
but that he is all of that is sufficient for
the purposes of this discussion.
Passing from under the skllful hands
of an artistic tOnsOrial establishment you
would almnstsav There is a well-dressed
man." Seen half an hour later you would
know how erroneous this judgment was.
Yes; the coat fits. The trousers are not
too large. The vest buttons snugly. The
texture is the best. The goods are almost
brand new. Yet there is lacking. Is it
in smoothness OF outline? Is it in the alb
sence of lengthwise folds in the trouser
legs? Is il in the presence OF elbow
creases? You would be at loss to say
exactly. All these defects are there. vet

law of nature.
Otherwise Mr.. Henry is neat and particu-
lar in his attire. There Is always an i'm
maculate spOtessness about his linen and
his white cravat that pes peaks an intuitive
sense OF personal neatnesS.
Nor are the garments of the Rev. Mr.
Henry cut by tailor who disregards en-
tirely the prevailing modes in gentle mems
attire. Quite the cOnverse is true. By
his GARD alone you would not know that
Mr.. Henry was a minister of the gospel.
Yet you would hardly know him-by his
clothes alone-for a polished gentleman.
Something between the fop and the care
less man is Mr.. Henry in the matter Of

REV. DR.. ELI MCCLISH.

The Rev. DR.. Eli McClish, pastor of the
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, is a
fair illustration of that type Of the clergy
upon whom the minute cares Of dress and
personal aGornment rest lightly.

things of this life and the next DR.. Nc

The Boys Brigade is one of the things be

the success of that institution than for the

hangs loosely on his generous frame. If it

quite to DR.. McClish's liking. When

from even more reliable sources than
books, has read much, written some and
preached all his life.
OF all of which there is not vestige in
the habiliments Of Rev. Mr.. Condt. His
clothes are neither fine in texture, nor cut
to the fashionable mode. In the etern al
fitness of things they ought at least 10 be
shabby and threadbare, tokenDg the
old-time Bohemian or savant They are
not even these. There is not a single prop
erty about them TO betoken a man with a
mind above potato culture or cattle breed
ing. And therein lies the great deceptive
ness of those garments. Without a certain
knowledge of the fact, it is safe to stake
small sum on the hypothesis that Mr..
COndits garments are ready made. They
lack fit and neatness. They lack culture
and elegance. They are not even old and
worn. They are new and coarse of text
ure. though black, as thew must be.
A broau-brimmed black felt soft hat
completes the outfit of typical husband
man. And the wearer is anything but
what his clothes imply. Indeed. you will
find IL difficult to reconcile Mr.. Condits
mind and mental attachments. not to speak
of his spiritual power, with the coat he
wears.
If Mr.. Condit would only consent to be-
come shabby he would be more in har-
mOny with the life he leads and his en-
virOnment. But this he steadfastly re-
fuses TO do. His clothes are usually new
and clean; but OH, the incon geniality Of

REV. T. Ii. WOODWARD.

Rev. T. II. Woodward looks every inch
what he is "a student and a preacher. He
looks more than that. From his Hitting
coat the artistic carelessneSs of his gray
hair and beard, rs we'll as from the whole
aspect of disregard for the conventional
tiles of Righteousness that pervades his
manner and dress, you would be at least
logical in supposing him poet.
And, indeed, such logical conclusion
would not be too far removed from fact,
for Rev. Mr.. Woodward does possess litera-
~ ability. Not only his incinatlons and
his appearances are toward the field OF
belle lettres. but his abilities as well.
True, many persons who do not dress
well are neither preachers nor litterateurs,
and conversely, there are those in both
professions who do dress well. Yet there
IS an eternal fitness of things in that a
literary person, savant, a student, a
preacher. should be careless in their per-
sonal attire.
And such a person is the Rev. Mr..
Woodward. Those who know would
scarcely recognize him if he should pass
through the hands of French tonsorial
artist and London tailor.
The weaTer of the coat that lacks con-
siderably of wall paper conformity to the
body it covers has penchant for wearing
coats till they attain that picturesque shah
Dlness Wnlcn Is the despair OF would be
Bohemians. SO much you would learn

AS To the trousers and waistcoat: what
they may lack IN newness and freshness
is more than compensated for in character
Disembodied from their Interior environ
ment those who knew the Rev. Mr.. Wood
ward would know at once whose garments
they were.
And this is neither TO the credit nor this
discredit of the wearer of them, since the
accomplishment or vice Of stamping his
own strong personality upon the clothes
he wears is entirely an unconscious pro-
ceGure. For as it has been said of the
great Burns. so it may truthfully be
avowed of the Rev. Mr.. Woodward. that
though his feet are on earth his head and
his heart are in the skies, and there are the
clothes 20 prove it,

REV. ROBERT c. FOUTE.

The Rev. DR.. FOute, rector of Grace
Church, is man who wears good clothes.
No more than that may be said for them.
Do they fit? Truly they do not. Is the
liner spotless? 1t is. Does the cravattes
nicely? Not ordinarily. Is DR.. Foute a
careless dresser?
That is a most difficult question to an
swer. The garments are new, tailor-made
and Of fine texture. But they lack sadly
in fit Perhaps il is the fault of the tailor
Perhaps it is the fault of -, but why try
to fix the fault. The fact is sufficient His
long clerical frOck coat does not set, rest
neatly and fashionably on the broad
shoulders of the eloquent rector.
The trousers do not bag at the knee.
Neither do they fit like the paper on the
wall" A little too long. they are, usually.
Sometimes q hairs breadth or more too
short. What matters 1t? Benedicts flock
TO him the same, and no other EpiscO-
palian divine is so famous for marriage
benedictOns as the Rev. Mr.. Foute.
Listening TO his earnest, powerful words,
as h stands In the pulpit dressed in sur
plice and gown, you forget his shnrtcom-
iDgS in the matter of persona habiliments
Yet when your attention is called to it
you remember. and you think it sonlewhat
paradOXical, too. that the rector of one of
the most fashionable churches in town,
and himself somewhat of a shining light
in the social world. should be most I'M
fashionable in his dress.
But the clothes lie wears keep him warm.
They keep his heart warm and his mind
vigorous and earnest. After all, these are
the chief usageS Of clothes. If Dr. Foute
were more fastidlOus in his dress he might
not be less successful in his calling, but
the change in his personal appearances
would he so great that You would scarcely
recognize him.

REV. FATHER MONTGOMERY.

You scarcely office the coat when look
ing into the kindly beaming eyes and
listening to the vigorous rhetoric of the
chancellor of the archdiocese OF San Fran
cisco, Father Montgomery. There is a
wealth of native eloQueDce and earnest
ness and a richness of tone in the half
base half-baryt0ne voice of the chancellor
that are calculated to divert attention from
a coat that usually lacks newness sadly.
You see the man and not his clothes,
ordinarily. Yet il you look close and
with malice aforethought you will see that
the man thinks more of his words and
thoughts and deeds than of his garments.
You Will office more than that. You will
notice that in parts the coat is much worn.
The black cravat that covers the Y space
in the waistcoat has not the freshness and
newness it might have. You would see
that, too. And the trousers: there are
lateral folds and creases in them, but no
perpendicular markings. There are
bags" at the knees, also, more than
likely, and the shoes beneath them, though
of tine texture. are not highly polished.
These are trivial matters in considering
such man as Father Montgomery. but
they are facts. In the more important
things of life and religion Father Mont
gomery is anything but a careless man.
In the matter of dress. too, he can hardly
be called careless. yet there is a tendency
on his part TO disregard the age and SER
vice of a coat and consider only the
warmth and comfort of il.
1t is not likely that one of thousand Of
those who know and love Father Mont
gomery could tell off-hand whether he was
fastidious or a careless dresser. And
this is because the personality of the man
impresses you first OF all. impresses yon so
strongly, in truth, that the mind and heart
has no room to take cogniZance of the lesser
matters Of dress.
And this would not be true if Father
Montgomery dressed stability. He does
not. The weak points of his clothes are in
the details that are readily overlooked by
thoughtful persons. The dude would find
much TO criticize in Father Montgomery's
attire.

A comfortable looking man is DR.. Case
Evidently he does not sit in certain
position all day to save the shape aud
freshness OF his coat. for there are creases
in it about the shoulders and in the sleeves
that show the wearer gets his comfort in
that coat.
The creases under the arm show that the
arm is often lifted IN eXhortation and the
fact that the top buttonhole is more worn
than the others argues that its wearer is
uncon sci0us OF his habniments when in the
