1t is a remarkable fact that although
France has controlled the fashions for
women Of the civilized world for many
hundreds Of years, male fashions almost
always have emanated from England, or.
at least, male styles did not become really
fashionable until they had been accepted
in England. Thus, although the French

PantaIoons I'm America.

FantulOOnB IN AmfFlcA-
In 1927 pantaloons were so generally
worn in the United States that a scientific
method of draughting patterns for them
was introduced. It was originated and
printed by Otis Madison and q second edi-
tion was published in 1929. Its title was
"a New System of Delineating, Founded
On True Principles and Containing Litho-
graphic Charts OF All Different Garments"
The patterns for the pantaloons in this
work look most utterly unlike anything that
possibly could be worn by any creature in
the shape Of man.
]. o. Madison, son of Otis Madison, says
that the American tailors Of that time were
not merely mechanics. but had an acute
sense Of art. Their leading principle as ex-
pressed In the book was hat to be fashion
able a garment must be 30 made that It
cannot be excelled for neatness Of style,
beauty or workmanship in any part of the
world.
Trousers and pantaloons," said Mr.. Mad
ison, in the American Tailor and Cutter,
some time ago, ARE comparatively modern
garments as are knee breeches, though they
preceded the former by many years. Be-
fore the advent Of knee breeches-that is,
brooches that extended from the waist to
the hnCCb dnQ hClc SCCuIou luCI6 ny Dul-
tons. buckles or ribbons-a very short gar
ment, slashed and puffed, was worn by roy
atty, the aristocracy, the rich, the nobility
and patricians, that merely covered the
lower part Of the trunk, leaving the whole
thigh to be covered with very long stock
ings."
Although the "pantaloon' is older than
the present trousers yet the word "trou-
sers" was used for all sorts OF leg-coEer-
ings centuries ago. The name appears in
wardrobe accounts OF the reign OF King
Henry VIII, making that monarch note
worthy for one other matter besides a taste
for collecting wives.
ElIzabethian Breeehes.
In Elizabeth's time the word "~breeches"
became common. The name came from
the word ''braccae," which was used to de-
scribe long. full bags gathered at the an
kles. In the museum Of the Royal Irish
academy in Dublin there is a pair OF trous-
ers Of great antiquity. These trousers are
grandly checkered. showing that this ia
vorite English fashion is hallowed by age.
In 1852 the trousers or knee breeches
were stuffed or wadded ("bombastsd') like
beer barrels. II Is recorded in The reign
OF Elizabeth that a galley OF scaffold had
to be erected in London to the wide trous-
ers Of the aldermen.
Bombasting lasted till the time Of
Charles l. He and his courtiers introduced
loose breeches, falling to the knee. where
they were ornamented mot tied) with lace
and ribbons.

Comedian Riley G. Chamberlain Of Chi
cage lost a good friend through a glass
Of beer. Chamberlain owned a dog which
had developed a marked degree Of intelli-
gence and was therefore greatly valued.
particularly as he was strongly attached
TO his master. One evening with friends
In q cafe Chamberlain put the dog through
his tricks much to the delight of the
company, and when a round of drinks
was ordered 1t included a beer for the
dog. Told to drink It, the brute did so,
but with evident signs Of dislike. A short
time after the dog staggered to the door
and disappeared. Chamberlain looked the
city over for his pet and finally found
him in the home Of Neis Anderson at 39l
Reed street, but the dog would not stay
with Chamberlain and soon went back to
Anderson's, and his former owner reluc-
family gave up all hopes Of winning back
his regard.

PRESIDENTS or
LABOR ASSEMBLY.

We are in receipt of the following
letter:
Duluth, Mimi, Dec. Is.
Editor of the Labor World:
We had a discussion here in our
shop on Saturday, and there is diff
ference in opinion as to who was the
arst president of the Duluth Trades
Assembly. I contend that it was Maui
rice Griffin, while others in the shop
say that it was James Mcdowell. Who
is right and who were the presidents
from the beginning until now?
Signed. HIP.
In reply we will say that Maurice
Griffin was the arst president of the
re-organiZed Trades Assembly. Prior
to this time there was division in the
ranks. The Building Trades unions
were in one body while the other or
CARNATIONS were in what was then
known as the Duluth Trade and La
Dor Assembly. James Mcdowell was
president of the latter body when the
two organizations federated Griffin
succeeded him.
After Griffin, Augustus Olson was
elected president. He was succeeded
by Alfred McCallum. who served a
portion over two terms. Charles NJ.
Thomas of the Street Railway EN-
ployes' union came next and served
one term. After Thomas was Robert
Haire of the Timers union. who serv-
ed one term, when he was appointed
deputy sheriff under w. c. Sargent.
Then w. E. McEwen was elected He
served four TENS. Edward Kriz waa
next in office for one term. John Nc
Murchie of the Laundary Workers,
served two terms. A. W. Jones of the
cigarmakers served one term. George
Davis Of the Carpenters served two
terms, and Henry Dworschak Of the
printers is now serving the second
term. This is positively correct list
of the presidents from the organization
in 1898 down to this time.
