The history of the spencer is a IA
miliar story. which runs something like
this: Lord Spencer. a dandy of the
time of George III, made a bet that
he could establish a fashion that would
become universal inside OF a half year
and stipulated that the style should be
meaningless and without use. He took
on his coat, seized pair of shears and
cut off the long tails. put the coat on
without finishing the edges and went
out for a stroll. 1t took less than two
weeks, the records say. to put all
London into the garment, and before
a ship had time to cross from England
to this country and back again Ameri-
ca was also given to the fashion. The
women adopted the spencer as we'll as
the men. The waist became q univer-
sal style. The swaliowtail coat of the
men is said to be distantiy related to it.
The invention of the spencer waist
is said to be coincident with the in
vention of he sandwich. An old Eng
fish rhyme memories their introduc-
ton thus:
Two noble lords, who II quote
Some folks might call me a sinner,
The one invented half a coat.

In the drawer should be a center

powder boxes and bags and any other
articles of the baby's toilet. These
spaces provided and the table cut
down to the proper height. the whole

white paint should be applied first,
followed with one of enamel. This

justed easily beneath the four legs.
