IN PRAISE OF ART SARTORIAL
Writer Claims Place In Ranks Of GEN.
Ius for the Designer and Cutter
Of Clothing.

Art, music and poetry have in all
ages been considered tho polite arts,
but what is art without the proper
portrayal of the dress of the age
that il seeks to represent? What ia
music that does not bring inspiration
from the masters of the past who
were clothed in the power to give us
glimpses Of men and ideals of whom
the only lasting impression can be
gained by the form our imaginations
give them, and our imaginations
clothe them in robes in which their
creators sent them out on their err
rands Of giving the world higher
ideals. Then what is poetry but
thought cloted in words? No matter
from what side viewed, the figure of
speech of clothing is the symbolic
key that gives entrance to these
higher realms, and therefore why
should not clothes themselves touch
the hem Of the garments of the arts,
with which they are so closely in
touch ?-American Tailor and Cut.
