why They Wore Armor.

To such pitch of evaporation did
the practice of using buttons in TIE
shirt drive the men of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan of wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts. The popular idea
that men wore armor in order to fight
in it is manifestly absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half hundredweight of metal.
Armor was worn solely in order 10
avoid the worry of shirts with missing
buttons.
There were distinct advantages con-
nected with the chain steel shirts
When one of these garments came home
ON Saturday night from the washer
woman, the owner could feel reasona-
bly, certain that the metallic clasps at
the neck and in the bosom were all in
their proper places, for no washerwom-
an could have succeeded in detaching
them without the use Of cold chiseL
If it did so happen that the washerwom-
ans husband had been run over by o
steam roller while wearing steel shirt
belonging to one of his wife's custom
ers and one Of the metallic fastenings
had thereby been injured, the customer
in question could not accuse his wife
of negligence and demand to know why
she failed to keep his shirts in proper
repair. london Answers.
