That these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of our lodge, and a copy hereof duly

has worn off, time will sanction both
it and knickerbockers, as it has sane
toned SO many other things.
1t is somewhat amusing, however, to
hear women who appear at public
functions in the most decollette manner
semi nude, arms and shoulders, back
and breast bare to all beholders-dis-
paragng the modest woman who only
displays, to the extent of a few inches
the shape of pair of well-covered legs.
Ladies of position have long been
accustomed to accompany their male
friends to cover and moor shooting,
habited in Knockers and leggins, and
little notice has been taken, but the
adoption of similar garments by the
cycling commonalty is quite another
thing, and requires police interference.
Mankind has been trying all kinds of
clothing, possibly to discover a rational
dress, and has not found suitable one
yet. We may still Fay as ChauCer in
in the Parsons Tale" "Alas, May
not man see as in our daies, the SHINE
full costlewe array of clothing, and
namely in to much superfluitee, or
Giles into disordinate scantnesse?"
Among the superf1uities was the
"length of the foresaid gounse, trailing
in the dong and in the myre, on hors
and exc on foot, as we'll of man as of
woman, that all thilke trailins is veraily
wasted, consumed, threadbare and
rotten with dong, rather than it is geven
to the poure To spoke of the horrible
disordinate scantnesse at clothing Alasi
some Of them shown the bose and the
shape of the horrible swollen membres,
that semen like to the maladie of Her
mia, in the wrapping of the hosen, and
exc the buttokkes of hem behinde,
that faren as it were the hinder part of
a she ape in the full of the none" The
disgusting fashion of short and tight
brooches (which rather exposed the
wearer's nakedness than hid it" was
banished from France by an edict of
Charles V. The beaux of Elizabeth's
reign, however, differed from those of
Chaucer's and Charles times. They
stuffed their breaches with feathers,
rags and other light materials, until
they were swollen to huge circum-
ference, and at the same time the ladies
wore large hoped farthingales, some
thing like modern crinoines, so that
1.-TWO lovers aside could surely never
have taken one another by the hand"
In print by Nertue, Lady Hunsden, a
leader of fashion, heads Elizabeth's
procession to Lord Hunsdons. Her
"standing-uy pire ruff rises above her
head, her STAYS reached to her head,
and her farthingale encloses her "as in
capacious tub" Disraeli says: The
amorous Sir Walter Raleigh must have
found some of the Maids Of Honor the
most lmpregnable fertilization his gall
liant spirit ever assailed: a coup de
main WAS impossible" Old Stowe gays
of this reign, in that time he was held
the greatest gallant who had the deep
est ruff and longest rapler."
We have seen an old French print of
Adam and Eve in elaborate Eastern
costumes, robes, jewelry, and tur-
, baned, although we are told our

fg-leaves and did not advance beyond
"coats of skins" The graceful and
Greeklike dresses of Anglo-Saxon
times continued to linger long after the
Conqueror. The conquest of France
by the English introduced French
fashions, and these and other refine
ments continued to come to US at inter
yals from Italy and Holland also. The
English dress of the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth centuries was the most
varied, the most bizarre and the most
ridiculous. In the reign of Charles II.
the Puritans kept a watchful and
bilious eye upon every change of
fashion. when countries wore NOR
strous wigs, they cut their hair short
when they adopted hats with broad
plumes, they clapped on round black
caps and screwed up their pale relig-
ious faces ;rhe when shoe-buckles were
revived, they wore strings" So can
tankerous is soured human nature.
We must not suppose that we have
yet. Possibly, Judging from the trend
of fashion, in course of time things will
yeer around and each sex adopt the
costume of the order, the men wearing
petticOats or kilts-which would be
far more becoming than the present
sCanty jackets and tight trousers-and
the women wearing long coats and
blOuses, and breeChes or Turkish trous-
ers. A rational dress must be one
which gives the largest freedom to the
body, is healthiest, lightest, and most
comfortable and best adopted to eli
mate and season. For picturesqueness
perhaps the native Greek dress sur
passes all others. For purposes of
coquetry, it would seem that conceal
ment is the most effective. Taciture
| tells us that the beautiful Poppea ex-
posed only part of her face, "to irrl-
tate curiosity" and to heighten by
Imagination the perfection of the re-
mainder. But whatever we wear or
however we dress, that must be ration
al which best suits our comfort and
our circumstances, and whether
kniCkerbockers or skirts, it is no lawful
concern to any of the Peeping Toms,
Paul Prys, and lip-pursed Prudes who
howl at any change of recreation
in which they do not participate They
who make the loudest cutlery are
probably those whose unshapely
ankles and legs will not bear inspec-
| ton, but as the race improves in
| symmetry, and well-formed limbs be-
come general, it is likely that very
short dresses for the women, and knee
| breeches, as in the graceful oiden
times, for the men, will be the univers-
al fashion.

he was man of sterling integrity. and

try in war, ami when that was over, and

everv day struggle for subsistence and
competency.

membered by the public at large,
