Dandies who are making their reap

fast disappearing when Queen Victoria
began her reign, says the London
Times.
Extravaganza in dress and manners
did not of course originate with them
but in earlier times there were other
names for those who were noted for
similar cccentricities. They were called
braux in the days Of Queen Anne and
the earlier Georges, ''fops" and
sparks" being scornful synonyms.
In the latter half of the eighteenth
century these fashionable fops were
known as macaronis, and the dandies
may be said to have come in during the
regency

and many were forced to wear civilian
clothes. One young man, who was es'

"he has no clothes"
The lieutenant made haste to get to
the telt.
What are you doing here without
your clothes?' he shouted.
Il borrowed the clothes l wore down
here from a friend and promised TO re-
turn them. Last night l boxed them
up and sent them by express to his
home"
Needless to say the lieutenant soon
dug up a uniform for the recruit.
