We are not informed as to just how far this dressing like children is to be carried, but we have heard a rumor to the effect that suits that bear some resemblance to those worn in the surf at Watch Hill will be in evidence. As we have none, and do mt wish to cut two feet off the bi.furcated gar. ments we now wear, and in view of the hard winter shat is promised. do not feel able to spare the five cent fine. we must perforce remain at hume, where we eau wear any old thing, even to the shirt that adorned the soareorow in Alfred House s corn field all summer. Any of the young ladies who wish to wear galluses'' should apply to the dressing room hands during working hours. as they would then be willing to give away any wearing apparel they might have.
