present day. who deplore the alb

waist, may be astounded to learn that
even in the good old Puritan
the lure Of Dame Fashion had
a bewitching effect on the young
men and maidens. Researches into
the ancient laws OF the Massachu-
sets Bay colony have revealed that
the fathers had their own troubles
with their offspring, who recognized
a snappy style when they saw it.
In 1884, just four years after the
arrival OF Governor Winthrop's
ships the apparel question had be-
come so pressing that the lawmak-
ers tried their hands as fashion
lnolders. Here is the statute placed
on the books in its original word
