A mans dress Invariably proclaims
who and what be is: Il Is an index to
his character. his tastes and his ma
tionaiity: and without making a too
abtruEe study Il Is possible to indicate
those features which proclaim the ma
fionality Of the wearer. says the Tailor

tocracy Of the nations who are difficult
to distinguish except by some peculiar
lty Of face or figure. Their clothing Is
refined and tasteful and leads one to
believe that their garments are London

products Of other countries.

The German Is In many instances a

part OF his anatomy he delights TO

often a scam up the front OF his coat

are angular and In style he favors the
morning coat and lounge. There Is a
lack OF personality about the attire. and
one can invariably detect the result Of
his military training In the uniformity
OF his garments
