Peter the Great adopted rather a new
ell means 70 convince his subjects that
they should change their clothes 10
conform with the modern costumes Of
western Europe Believing. as is well
known historically. that the future
greatness OF Russia depended upon the
facility with which it was made To as
simulate all that was best in other
countries. he had succeeded in introduc-
ing some important innovations into
the half civilized region over which he
held sway Al length he had patterns
OF cloth hung MP ut the gates of the
towns. and those who did not conform
TO the fashions thus set were locked
publicly, albeit this was done in as
pleasant manner as possible. for Pc
ter believed in being good natured with
his people. They, on the other hand,
loudly demurred and used the argu-
ment that what was good enough for
their forefathcrs was good enough for
them.
"yery well" said the sagacious Pc
ter. In 1903 he gave dinner at Mos
COW to celebrate the marriage of one
of his testers and insisted that 1t should
be conducted in strict conformity with
ancient usage There had formerly
been a superstitious custom of not
lighting a fire on a wedding. So Peter
made them do without a fire, although
il was very cold He wouldn't give
them any wine because their forefa-
Tiers never drank it. When they re-
monstrated. he reminded them that il
was a poor rule which did not work all
around and thus by his good natured
greatness wheedled his people into new
coats. about the hardest thing that can
be done with humanity.

Georce III and the wigmakers.

When George III assembled the throne
of England, his wealthy subjects were
beginning to leave off wigs and 70 ap-

one Of tie offenders. the Deruke max
ers. who feared serious loss of trade,
prepared a petition, in which they pray
ed his majesty 20 be graciously pleased
10 '.shaye his head" for the good OF dis
tressed workmen and wear wig, as
his father had done before him.
When the petitioners walked 10 the
royal palace, however, it was noticed
that they wore no wigs themselves. As
this seemed unfair to the onlookers,
they seized several of the leading pro
cessionlsts and cut their hair with any
Implement that came most readily to
hand
From this incident arose a host Of
curious caricatures The wooden leg
makers were said to have especial
claims on the kings consideration in
asmuch as the conclusion of peace had
deprived them Of a profitable source OF
employment; hence the suggestion that
his majesty should not only wear a
wooden leg himself. but enjoin the peo-
pie TO follow his laudable example.
