Mr.. Orr was born in Ireland seventy
four years ago and is a man of stately
presence, with the manners of a Bour-
bon diplomat of the days of Louis
XIV. and a beard that used to be the

perfumes. One day while the SUBJ

! Dress of = Dandy OF the Early NtnS~
tSenth Century.
A cure for the confirmed railer
against modern dress might be a course
Of inspection through a Ale OF old
fashion magazines or the perusal OF
such accounts as are given by the
author OF Sketches Of Lynn" The
description is that Of a suit worn In
the first part OF the nineteenth century.
The boots were an important article
OF dress The toes were made as broad
as the ball of the foot, with the cor
ners we'll rounded, giving the shoe the
resemblance to the snout Of a shovel
nosed shark. They were very snug and
required strong straps. In order to get
into a fashionable pair the heel OF the
stocking was well soaped and some
pulverized soap sprInkled into the boot.
The length OF time II took to get one
on depended on the strength OF the
owner and the strap.
The stylish overcoat displayed Ave
capes, one above the other. The trou.
sers were expected TO tit as tight as the
skin. Just how they were put on is a
mystery. The coat was especially snug
under the sleeves, and the velvet collar
scraped up the back OF the head. The
camlet overcoats after a little wear,
became az stiff AZ birch bark.
The thing worn about the neck was
called a stock. This name was appro-
pirate In its suggestion Of an instru.
ment OF punishment The stock was
from three to six inches high, and was
made stln. A man was forced to look
straight ahead. Only by careful man.
agement could he see little on either
side. About halfway between his eyes
and ears two little points Of collar
stuck up like toothpicks.
Rufiied bosoms and wristbands I'm
ished the costume, with the addition Of
a tall silk hat. When lnclosed In this
manner, with a dash OF altar of roses
OIL his handkerchief the man Of the
period was considered irresistible.

JEWISH HOLIDAY

A VERY IMPRESSIVE OCCASION

The Rosh Oshana is Observed Ter
Days Before the Approach Of Ton

Beginning at 9 O'Clock this evening
the Jewish population OF Gainesville

Another point scored. And stiii an
other when we say that the m1iinsrs
this year are vying with each other 70
produce beautiful effects with brilliant
passed for maintaining one color
throughout ones costume. The lady In
gray is not gray from tip to toe. It Is
her hat that gives the needed touch OF
color. Two colors carry the day-deep
red: or wine color and rich sneraid
green. She may wear a gray hat alixht
with. color II such is her choice. but
she will appear equally smart II her
hat has no suspicion OF gray about It.
Brilliant-hued fancy pheasant feathers
and. ostrich, plumes curl down over the
hair at the back. Bright roses and
plaid ribbons are used abundantly.
Gloves in Great Variety.
For street wear the English walking
glove is the proper thing. Never has
there been greater variety OF gloves
in vogue. There are long ones and
short ones. OF embroidered silk and
plain. Of dressed kid or suede. One
buys; gloves recklessly and never has
enough.
With regard to her footwear. the
San Francisco girl will make no con-
cessiors. That is her pride. Her. sis
ters from near and far are forced to
admire and. 1t matters not what roads
she has to walk. her feet are always
trim. Neither patent-leather ties nor
even walking pumps need be tabooed
when there is mud on the streets. The
lightest of rubber footholds Is sufl-
cient protection and a pair of CATERS
in neat black and white check or in
a color to match the shoe win keep
her ankles warm. The laced walking
boot of gun metal or calf is very popu-
lar at present and an admirable ad-
junct to a feminine. wardrobe A pat
ent leather tie with gray suede upper
is very natty when worn with gray
suit.
So now we have the girl in gray,
neat. jaunty. charming as ever. but dis
tinctly gray In the eyes Of the other
sex she has made no concessions. no
sacrifices. And, really. she has made
few. She is stylish-always and per-
sistently-but she has made fashion
her slave. not her mistress. And with
her woman's knowledge OF fnesse she
suits her garb to conditions without its
being, apparent that she is doing SO.

But to the feminine mind there exist
