BISHOP Moore of the Columbia
Methodist Conference has urged min
listers to pay more attention to their
dress; in other words to emulate a
trait we condemn in a fop. Now we
think that over-dressing is bad as
embarrassing; that the best dressed
men Tor women) are those who mo-
ment after they are out of sight the
memory fails to recall the color or
style of their clothing. The grand
secret of successful course, is to so
act as to be inconspicuous for any
special trait. So the Bishop errs in
making dress the special object of
commentator, unless he wishes to
emphasize their calling as the hack
drivers do in Eastern cities, in being
the best dressed men on parade. 1t
seems to us that, a long coat and a
white choker should be enough to re-
strain people from saying damn
in the presence of the cloth under or
binary circumstances.
