So great have been the exaggera-

State would be called upon to pay in
pensions that Governor WcCreary said
that he felt that the taxpayers and
people of the State should know the
truth. There have, been but ZIP applls

one Of them is passed upon favorably
it would take only $25, 200 to pay

GAY OLD FASHIONS.
Dandies OF Past Centuries Would Make
Solomon Look Sad.

Compared with the gay apparel worn
by the dandies of the past ages the
youths OF our time in the gayest of
gny raiment make but a poor show.
The bishop Of Ely in the fourteenth
century had a change OF raiment for
every day in the year. The Earl of
Northumberland boosted no less than
sixty cloth Of gold suits at this time.
In the time Of CHANGER the men wore
clothes as many colored as JoSeph's
coat. SO that while one leg would be
a blaze Of crimson. the other would be
tricked out in green. blue or yellow
without any regard for harmony or
contrast
Even as late as the middle Of the
eighteenth century. n dandy would
dress himself in n vivid green coat. a
waistcoat Of scarlet. yellow brooches
and blue stockings.
And the gentleman OF a few years
later wore. among other vagaries. a
coat of light green. with sleeves too
small for the arms and buttons too big
for the sleeves: a pair of fine Man
chester b~reeches: clocked silk stock
ings; a club OF hair behind larger than
the head which carried il: a hat not
larger than a sixpence.
1t was a common thing in the early
part of the eighteenth century for q
man of fashion TO spend several hours
daily in the hands Of his valet Among
he many operations which took up
his time was 1.-THE s~tarching Of the
beard and the proper pertaining of the
garments. the painting of the face and

should be observed. however. that
