COLLAR PHILOSOPHY

Of collars is assuredly no exception 20 this
rule. At the same time it must be admitted
that the only proper way to discdss this
subject is first to remove tia somewhat
paradoxical statement, but perfectly clear to
all who affect collars and are aware of their
tendency to irritate one if one is at all heat
ed, as may naturally be expected in debate.
Thus the collar, if retained, would become
one of the strongest arguments against it.
self.
Therefore, we will remove our collar and
plunge at once into discussion of the rea-
sons for it's existence it's good points and
its shortcomings, and its ultimate fate, and
endeavor, II possible, TO decide whether the
world would be any happier or brighter for
the abolition of collars, or whether collars
per Sc have added to the gayety OF nations.
The exact time when collars were first
worn cannot be set down with any degree
OF certainty, but it is reasonable to assume
that they came into being for utilitarian
| rather than for ornamental purposes. 1t is
well known that the collars of our medic
val ancestors were substantial enough to
| protect the throat from the swords and pixies
OF belligerent acquaintance, and it is to be
conjectured that the immediate forbears of
| the modern collar had an equally useful if
not 20 strenuous an origin. AS matter
