A wealthy Silesian landowner with bizarre
notions Of dress got into trouble with the police
authorities in Berlin not long ago His failing
was gold lace. So far did he carry out his sar-
torial ideas that he became the observed of all
observers. Such crowd assembled in the
streets of the German capital on the occasion of
the Silesian's last visit that the police promptly
arrested him for violation of the municipal
ordinances. THE accused's clothing" states
the police report, which was made Of blue
serge, was completely covered with gold lace
and braid, and even his shoes thus deco

duct on the ground of eccentricity, stating that
the accused possessed no fewer than one hun
dred and fifty suits of clothes all embroidered
with gold in various designs"

SOME interesting facts were disclosed with
reference to the weakness of Rumanan in
the matter of clothes when he found himself in
the bankruptcy court. 1t transp1red that in the
course of four years he had managed to expend
two hundred thousand dollars in striving to
crafty his longings for fine feathers. A speci-
men suit was produced in court. The buttons
were set with diamonds, and in one of the cuffs
sewed watch. Seams were hidden by
rows of pearls, and in other ways this genius
managed to achieve novel effect in his general
makeup. The evidence also showed that he
possessed pair of shoes made of glass, which
he always wore when at home, and of which he
was inordinately proud"

Among the first cabin passengers who arrived
in New York an Atlantic liner few years
ago was woman whose sole costume consisted
of ball dress. She carried no baggage, aside
from four carboys of mineral water and
bucket, which were necessary. she confded to
all, for her ablutions. She had rendered herself
agreeable to everybody during the voyage; and
all admitted that. if her silk and lace ball dress
was somewhat bad form in the morning, it was
quite appropriate in the evening when, in the
saloon, she pleased the company with song and
dance. This passenger was certified to by the
physicians monomaniac and was accord
ingly deported to the place whence she came.
