MARK TwAIN's CLOTHES.



Relish For Personal Effect.
At the time of our first meeting
Mark Twain was wearing sealskin
coat. with the fur out, in the salts
faction of q caprice or the love Of
strong effect which he was apt to in.
dulge through life. Fields, the publish
er. was present.
| do not know what droll comment
was in Fields mind with respect to
this garment. but probably he felt
that here was an original who was
not to be brought to any BOstonian
book in the judgment Of his vivid
qualities. With his crest Of dense red
hair and the wide sweep of his fam
ing mustache Clemens was not dis
cordantly clothed in that sealskin coat,
which afterward, in spite Of his own
warmth in IT. sent the cold chills
through me when once accompanied
it down Broadway, and shared the
immense publicity it won him.
Clemens had always a relish for per,
sonal effect. which expressed itself in
the white suit of complete serge which
he wore in his last years and in the
Oxford gown which he put on fol
every possible occasion and said be
would like to wear all the time. That
was not vanity I'm him. but keen feel
