Dress and the Man.

American men, us a rule, are SLOW
emily, untidy and careless" according to
writer In the New York Tribune. ga
certain set, it is true, that has leisure
and means, is well dressed and thor
oughly groomed, but with men of affairs
the distinction between Americans and
Englishmen is marked. In England the
same class look as whole. decidedly
superior, and it is simply their clothes
and the way they are worn and the gen.
orally scrubbed look of their faces that
make the difference. % It is useless to
ignore clothes us powerful factor in
our lives. If the tailor does not actually
make the man." he certainly has q
great deal to do with the semblance.
One of the great causes of untidiness
among men who can afford to dress and
appear we'll is tho lack Of proper valet
ing. In England every we'll to do man
has his clothes taken care of by serv-
ant, and if he has not his own espe-
oial man there is always some one in
the household whose duty it is to see
that his coats arc we'll brushed, his
trousers cleaned and pressed, his shoes
polished, hats brushed and all the de-
tails which i'll this country-except the
shoes, perhaps-a busy man is supposed
to SEQ to himself
In America man arrogatcs to him
self a certain credit in not caring for
clothes-''he has no time for such non
sense'-tho consequence being that
when conventionality demands q rccog-
milton of its claims, it requires an espe-
cial effort, which is often apparent.
Many political and business men will
say that it is distinct disadvantage to
dress we'll in this country. Older MGR
chants regard a punctiliously dressed
clerk with disapproval Public men say
that their constituents distrust "frills, {"
while large majority simply do not
want to take the trouble to dress, and
yet these very men like their women
kind to be we'll dressed and grudgc no
expense SO far MS tho latter arc con-
cerned, while they themselves wear
slovenly clothes and do not even try to
look fresh and neats.
