The dress of the Greeks and Rfa man* deeded not the presence of buttons, ample substitutes for whiqh this were found in the clasp. As evidence of fact, it may be cited that among all the paintings and mosaics discovered in-the ruins of Pompeii, no single illustration of the button baa ever been brought to light Nor did the simple costume of the Anglo-Saxons require those accessories, which nowadays we could ill afford to dispense with. “BUTTONS ALL OVBB ’EM. 1 ' I Pi Previous, to the Norman conquest, then, P>“« uttotH to this country were altogether un- f^ of 0 our ; wm, historical so thatdkHMwe indebtedness have a to distinct the French proof for all innovations of fashion in the matter of costume.
