 Residents of Dublin street were treated to novel exhibition last night when. a man passed through the street attired in what many mistook to be woman's garb, but which was simply the costume common among the na- | tiyes of the wearer. The women folks say that the man was an Egyptian l and that in their opinion it is not right to allow him or anybody else on the public streets wearing such clothes. There was nothing unusual in the mans conduct so that if not attired in suit of different style he would not have attracted any attention. But
 Waterbury is getting to be a big place and in few years more we will not be surprised at any kind of costume, though, to be sure, the woman folks will always find fault about men folks masquerading in garbs that would lead people to believe that they be- longed to the fair sex.
