Relatively there may be no

of no doubt. And it is therefore
the duty of every law-abiding

Buttons and Women's Clothes.

"Why does woman button her gar
ments on the left side?" The question is
being discussed in the Tailor and Cutter by
several correspondents. one of whom. ad-
vances this theory: For ladies to have the
buttonholes in the right side of their gar
ments has its origin in the times when 1t
was necessary for a lady when going out at
night to have a gentleman escort, who sup
ported her upon his left arm, leaving his
right or sword arm at liberty. Thus the
lady's left hand would be free to fasten or
unfasten her cloak at her own pleasure and
without inconvenience"
