OF Sir Charles de Puyster Goodwin OF
Scotland, who lived 200 years ago, ac-
cOrding to an ancient manuscript
found by Miss Faith Corson Smith, in
an old trunk in the attic of her home.
Fhe manuscript was dated November
10. 1904, and reads in part:
1.-THE time hath come when I think
there is much to be revealed to my
children's children in clothing the hui
man form.
Il cannot believe that men will for
ever wear wigs, swords and knee
breaches and such like fopperies
Ladies should not be so circum-
spect in their dress. which is cumber-
some, and the long trains which
please their majesties this year of our
Lord seem to be naught but a design
to conceal that which the Creator
meant should be revealed
Perhaps posterity will learn that
there is naught to be ashamed OF in
that which God hath created, no mat
ter what station in life 1t may be men
toned. The Creator never meant men
and women to be SO burdened with
velvet ribbons lace and powder that
his handiwork should be concealed or
distorted. The Romans, it seems to
me, were much more sensible than we
are today, and it may be in q dozen
score of years that peoples of the
world will grow to discard these late
changes. which are only worse than
those which were their immediate
predecessors
Goodwin lived on the Scottish side
of the border until he became in
volved in political offenses that made
him fugitive to London, where the
fashions of the time evoked his dis
pleasure and his prophecy.
