WISDOM IN DRESSING WELL. li«. clothe., «« »«• OH B.«-u Sold. Make a Good imprea.loa. Though at first glance it would seem a frivolous topic and unworthy of space in the editorial columns of a dally new-’.-aper. tte question of dress as a commercial factor ranks as • -, .ly -re teresv.ng and actually tant. It is of great interest to study tne rapidity and varied manners in w bich personal adornment has changed and advanced with time. In the early dawn of the world we are told that an uncouth garment of fig leaves was considered sufficient by our con-.raon for- - ar- •• re.-rew:;® tu hi-le th.• -:r uakedness. With the necessity of striving arduously tor bis living came the develvpirent of man’s and the l.i.e ' general improvomeiit dress In its scope. For many centuries in the region Immediately sbrrounding the birthplace of mar. long, flowing _-.ru.-: ■- acre in use, to te Hanged later on by the enterprising Honians to the graceful tunic, toga and peplua These changes in the course of. ttm« penetrated Into the northern countries and grsduaUy displaced the rough garments of hides and loin cloths which were at first typical of the Inhabitants. So has the mode of dress changed and mproved Itself with U?e passage ’ of time, and by thft, aid of that same potent factor Its Importance has !n---creased iftid perbai* lias not yet as sumed its destined proportions. There ■an ’»■ no doubt tn the mind ,4 the averas ftison.ng man that the matter of dress does exert a vital influence on • f . . failure t the trein -r woman of today. A well and neatly attired man everywhere has the ad- • nr- f one wb-' itekes no-’ pains with bis apparel and whose clothes might be shed annuajly like the skin of the snake If it were not for the inviolable customs of the ag--. 4t Is a fact, perhaps lamentable, t-ft never•ft -- ta:-nt. that a 1 usln>-ss man prefers dealing with another wbj is a::ra- • *-iv dressed, w h -e k is cl-shaded and whft is in th? habit i of wearing clean collars, to his brother j with whom dress is less than a secondary consideration and who contents himself with 'be reflection that "handsome is as handsome does.” i nere are a great i:..-ii*y tnen wno uecry this tendency to personal adorn- i ment in others and whose lips take a I s '-rnful curve ftten they ft’fcr t-> the -1:. « >r his e<|ual)y frivgjous s -ter Is it a crime or a fault to accentuate I personal beauty or neutralise the esI feet ■ f -atural bomellneM by tastiness ft! apparel? Is there aay r.-a- -n to rensnre the man who wears lighter col-.re-1 r some more fashionably shaped garments than ours because we prefer for ourselves the more somber and conventional garments’ To be sure, I there is between the man , who dresses for love of dress and one who does sc from principle or from
