"Down With the Lords"

A New York newspaper man writing
from London says: Havelock Wilson
M. P, leader of the Seainens Firemen' S
union. tells me that he has been testing
public sentiment on the question Of the
house OF lords at meetings which he ad-
dressed recently through the country.
Contrary TO the feeling in London he
declares that no topic appeals so strong
ly to workingmen in the country as the
obstruction of the aristocracy Every
time he advocated the dissolution of the
house of lords the suggestion was re-
ceived with wild enthusiasm Down
with the lords!" would be the best cleo
ton cry of the next campaign, in his
opinion.

Here is a story of a conscientious
friar which is certainly very amusing.
1t appears that two monks, the one a
Dominican and the other a Franciscan,
were travelling together when they
came to n river. The Dominican said
to his companion that as he walked
b~arefooted, he was bound by the rules
of his order to carry him, and If he
refused he would commit a great sin.
The Franciscan yielded TO this repre-
sentation, and took the other friar on
his back. When they had got to the
middle Of the ford the Franciscan
asked the other if he had any money
about him.
Yes" replied the latter, Il have two
rails" w..
II beg a thousand pardons, my faith
err" replied the disciple of st. Francis,
but my order forbids me to carry
money" ,.- ...
And with these words he Topped his
rider into the water.

What They Should Wear when They
Go Out on Pleasure Bent.
Women generally know how to dress
themselves and their children for most
Of the functions of society. But they
are often sadly perp!exed as to how
their husbands should be attired. Be
yond knowing that men should not
wear evening clothes before 6 o'clock,
their ideas on masculine garb are
vague. AS they frequently have to de-
eide the question Of what their lords
and masters shall wear, it would be
wise for them to read, mark, learn and
inwardly digest the following facts:
At , o'clock weddings, known as
morning weddings-which are about the
the only early festivities to which a
man can be dragged-the bridegroom
yea dark-striped trousers, double
breasted frock coat, undressed pearl
grey gloves, white four-in-hand, tall hat
and big b~outOnniere. The ushers are
similarly attired, and the masculine
wedding guests who aim to De correct.
YEA clothes OF the same general fash
ION, though, Of course, the style Of their
les, gloves and boutonnieres is not pre-
Scribed by law. At all fashionable
morning affairs this uniform, with
some individual variations, is correct.
In the evening, of curse, evening
clothes are necessary. This season pre-
scribes a three-button plain shirt front,
a straight stand-up collar, either a
black cloth waistcoat or n double
breasted, four-button white one. No
jewelry is worn, and pearl-grey gloves,
stitched with black, are considered in
bad taste, as are patent leather shoes.
