love feast and practically all the

isionists. The night session lasted
until after 10 O'Clock in order to
close up the question before the
holidays.

ORIGIN OF THE HAT BAND.
Reasons for the Plume on the Left
Side and Buttons on the Coat.

rom the LONDON MIL
Wilfred Webb, at a meeting of the Wind
sor and Elton Scientific and Archaeological
Society last night, spoke interestingly of the
evolution of dress.
From prehistoric drawings it would APP
pear he said that our early ancestors were
clothed with hair and had little necessity
for artificial covering. Judging from print
tive races at the present day. clothing was
not first adopted as protection from the
weather.
Just as the Zoologist learns much con-
corning the ancestry of animals from the
little features which survive In their bodily
structure, so can the history of dress be
evolved. Starting with the hat. it was
shown that the hat band can be traced to "a
illet which held In shape a simple piece of
cloth. Sometimes this fliet was tied In a
bow behind, the tails of which survive in
the Scotch cap, the sailor hat and the
bishops mitre.
A little bow inside in the lining of the
hat Is a survival of iacing which kept
the lining in shape, or possibly takes US
back to a time when a hat was made by
putting string through holes IN a nat
piece of leather. and. by tightening it, pro-
ducIng a crown. The plHmes in hats are
on the left side because In early times the
adornments were so big that they would
have seriously interferad with the use OF
the sword il worn on the right. The helmet
of the fireman Is practically identical with
those worn by the ancient Greeks.
The large white collar, such as Milton
wore, is still in a smaller form worn by the
clergyrnen who preach in Geneva gowns
and by Bluecoat boys. Buttons on coat
sleeves point to a time when coats were
very costly, and it was customary to turn
back the sleeves so that they should not be
soiied.
Mr.. Webb also discussed the origin of the
two buttons on the back of the coat, and
said that he could find no satisfactory rea-
son why in European countries the buttons
on mems clothes should be always on the
right side and those Of women on the left

Schoolmastering the Speech.

From Harpers Magazine.
The language has for long time been
undergoing the process which the late Pro-
fessor Whitney used to describe as that of
being schoolmastered. Instead of following
a natural normal development upon the
lines laid down by the great writers of our
literature, sets of artificial rules for the
regulation OF expression have been and
from time to time still announced.
At the present day these attempts al
schoelmasterIng the speech are going on all
the while before our eyes. One agency In
particular. which is working havoc in the
minds of many, is the disposition to insist
that the modern Specification Of word or.
its modern grammatical construction shall
cor form to its derivation This is delu-
sion to which men who aspire to be con-
sidered cultivated are peculiarly susceptible.
Ohe point indeed there is which the average
man of education, rather the man OF
average education, seems wholly Incapable
of connprehending. He cannot be made 10
see that it is the meaning which living
men nut into the words they use that Is
alone of any significance; that of very
triffing significance is the meaning that
dead men have given to those from which
the former have come To the prevalence
OF this hallucination-for Authorization II IS
in the strict chronological sense OF that
terna--we owe the efforts constantly put
forth to alter the speech of our fathers and
TO limit freedom of expression,
