SERIOUS HINTS ON DRESS.
With Some Flippant Comments by a
Boston Man.

With Some Flippant Comments by
Boston Man.
We have received little pamphlet
which we hope has been distributed
widely among our readers, observes
the Boston Journal. The careful study
of it may put an end to doubts that
have embittered households and poi
soned the wells of domestic happiness
This little book-we dislike the term
"booklet" in simple language
how to dress your coachman, groom,
butler, doorman and page.
Thus, for instance, the coachman
should wear six buttons on his coat
two on the back at waist and two at
the bottom of the skirt. He should
also have flaps on his pockets. Other
wise he might be mistaken for the
groom. who has no flaps on the pock-
cts and has five buttons in front and
six behind. These buttons should al
WAYS match the metal trimmings on
the harness. Ardent Bryanites will, OF
course, use silver.
The hat must be silk. There is no
alternative. SLOUGH hats are no longer
worn by the coachman of our more ex-
elusive citizens, and the more fastidi-
GUS insist that the hat should be a
new one, not cast-off dicer of the
master. The coachman, when on duty,
should smoke only cigars. They should
cost at least at the rate of three for
a quarter. Green baize cloth aprons
should match your billiard table. Crest
buttons, worn by your servants, should
be ducal. There are several dukes in
England, SO there may be variety in
the device.
BY paying attention to these details
and the advice as to other matters Civ
en- by this pamphlet, you will be
Obliged to be more scrupulous as to
your own dress, for it is a sad sight
when the groom is mistaken for the
master.

Hair Restorers.

Life is made burden to Richard E.
Catalan, the Wyandotte chemist, by
travelling men selling hair tonics and
restorers. The other day one OF these
drummers opened up on him with all
his vocal batteries and Catalan could
not get word in edgewise. When the
visitor finally stopped for breath Mr..
Catalan informed him that he prepar-
ed a hair restorer himself. DO you
mean to say that it has ever done such
work as this?" and the great exhib-
tied number of photographs of peo-
pie who he Claimed had had their hair
