NATIONALITY

\ man dress invariably proclaims
who ana what h IS: II is an index
u his character. his tastes. and his
nationality; and without without
making too abtruse study Il is pos
sible to Indicate thost features which
proclaim the nationality OF the wear
81.
Or course there Is an aristocracy
OF the nations who are difficult to
distinguish except by some peculiar
ity OF face. or figure. Their clothing
= refined and tasteful and leads
one to bclieye that their garments
are London made. as they are free
from those glazing pecullarities
which characterize the products of
9th u countries.
The Americans garments are gem
orally quite two sizes too large for
him. tn, collar of his coat is ex-
Gee iingly narrow. and the shoulders
and back excessively wide. His
jackets are often extremely long.
and his t.Dueers pegtops finished
with raised seams. His fayorite gar
ments are the lounge and Chester
field. and these are often finished
in some extraordinary way which
he fancies to be original.
The Fr,nchman is dressy. his gar
ments are close fitting and decidedly
"waisty." He favors the frock and
the morning coat, which he has fin
ished with as much ornamentation
as possible. Silk facings, braided
edges and fantastic flaps are all char
acteristic of his dress. while he also
pays a good deal OF attention to his
hat. tie and cuffs.
The German is many Instances a
modified American. He tyse-- plenty
of room, especially about the chest,
which part of his anatomy he de-
lights to make much Of: consequent
iy there is often a seam up the front
of his coat from the waist. In cut
his garments are angular, and in
style he favors the morning coat and
lounge. There is lack OF personal
ity about his attire, and one can in
variably detect the result of his mil
itary training in the uniformity of
his garments.
The Spaniard is a modified form
of the Frenchman. His garments
are tasteful and neat. If the wealth
er Is suitable he discards a vest, and
finished with a low roll. Generally
speaking there is less popularity to
not about the Spaniard's dress than
with many others.
The Austrian and Hungarian par
ticipate in the characteristics OF the
German, but are more tasteful in
the cut and finish. suggesting a skill
full blending of French and German
notions. On the other hand the
italian type is a Germanized French
style, so that you get more of the
artistic finish of the French in their
clothing than you find in the Aus
trian or Hungarian.
The Norwegian and Dane are sell
dom distinguishable from the Eng
lishman as far as their clothes are
concerned, except it be in a precise
ness that is apt to suggest stiffness
in place of that ease and grace which
marks the English garments.
The colonial is Invariably attlred
in unitarian garb, a tweed lounge
suit in a modified English style. cut
for comfort and made up in strength.
He has no desire for show, and
cares little for decorations so that
he IS rarely seen in frock or morn
ing coat.--Tailor and Cutter.

A TREAT IN STORE.

To people who have heard DR.. Wait.
man Barbe speak It is not necessary
to say that rare treat is In store for
all who can attend his lecture at the
Normal Auditorium next Tuesday
evening. Dr.. Barbc is always inter.
esting, entertaining and instructive.
His subject for Tuesday evening is
one of special interest entitled "An
Evening with My Own Poetry" When
it Is remembered that DR.. Barbe is the
best known snd critics say the ablcst
poet in the State. 1t can readily BE-
seen that those who do not avail them
selves OF the opportunity Of hearing
him will miss something they arc
likely to regret. The students OF the
Normal School are bringing DR.. Barba
here and the proceeds OF the enter.
tainment will be put to good use. Ii
is to be hoped that our. people will take
special interest in the coming OF DR..
Barbe and turn out to hear him. Dr..
Barbe never fails to please; all who
know him will bear out the statement
here made.

people? II his position Is tenable It
ought to be upheld and placed right
by the highest courts We believe it
is wrong to attempt to maintain a
false position and We believe It is
right to uphold correct one. Let
us have test. AS stated above, Judge
Artnian's reasoning is morally sound
and no one who hears him can so away
believing the saloon to be anything
but an unmitigated evil. a veritable
ante.room OF perdition, an open en-.
trance to crime, misery. Indebtedness
