sides and backs were much in favor,
the mUch-buttOned uniforms of to-
day being Vestiges of the early coats.
''The reason for buttons on the
right side of mems coats seems sim
pie enough. This arrangement per-
mitted the Wearer in the early days
to thrust his fighting arm into his
jacket in order to keep it warm. If
the buttons were on the left side he
couldn't do it.
''The buttons on wOmen's coats
were originally placed on the left side
so the wearer could manipulate them
with her right hand, leaving her left
arm free to carry her baby. That's
the explanation authorities agree on
and it ought to be as good as any
other.
eff men will notice the buttons on
their coat cuffs the chances are
they'll find imitation button holes at
the sides of the buttons. This is a
remnant of a seventeenth century
custom. The buttons nowadays are
OF no use. But in the old days they
were for a purpose.
''In the early days of fancy clothes
the men spent so much on their coats
that they had to find a scheme to
save the cuffs from wearing out. The
tailors of those days devised the but
ton and button hole on the coat
sleeves. The stylish men could but
ton the cuffs back out of harms way
and thus save wear and tear on gar
ment and pOcketbOOk.
''The primitive hat was simply a
circular piece of leather with a lacing
threaded through it and tied at the
back to fit the crown of the head. In
the modern hat we find the little bow
of silk ribbon and in some hats the
ribbon is threaded through the lin
ing. The modern trife is of no use
whatsoever, merely, a vestige or trace
