A champion of mini s su|K-iior coru-
iien sense can receive no greater set-
Tnck than to stroll along the street u
Inly morning and observe the appear-
mee and netlona of Uie different sexes
(ii their hiihlliinents. Here, for in
lance, comes along a man with a tall,
itlfT hat on bis head, a tall, stiff col
lar around bis neck, a stiffly starched
shirt bosom covering his breast, stiff
i offs on bis wrists, woolen coat, vest
anil trousers upon the portions of his
anatomy adapted thereunto, pcrsplra-
llou and <1 tint upon Ills brow.
Itehlnd hiui conies a cloud of uins-
lln snd tulle, a broad brimmed hat of
light, perforated straw, a muss of semi
diaphanous lace from Which two bare
inns mid one ditto neck appear, and
between the lint and the lace n wom
an's face Is seen, cool, complacent,
wholly comfortable, unknowing per
spiration, Innocent of dust, altogether
istlsfactory to behold. A vision of this
sort rmik<*s amends for all the out
rages of theater hats in the winter
and for once gives man a pang of envy
that in also is not permitted to wear
comfortable garments In midsummer.
Hut (lie man has Ids lulling as soon
aa fall comes, for then he Is comfort
able in the garb that made life miser
able a few weeks previously, while the
diaphanous vision of July has become
n blue nosed, shivering reality, trying
lo prevent the chilly wind from cut

It is told of the late llret Unite that
Iiih wife, coining down Intc to break
fast one day and being asked for her
■potise, explained that she left him
trying lo match a cravat with the
stockings he hml decided to wear for
the day.
As a contrast to this take the story
of a Mr. Poland told in the "Hetnl-
nlsceiioes of Montagu Williams," puli
llahed in lCngland Mr Poland caused
Ids family great anxiety by the hull
lit of his clothes lie was persuaded
to go to a certain tailor and he mens-
titl'd, but tin* new suit fitted the wear
er worst- than the old. The tailor was
Interviewed by Mr. Poland's friend Un

"It is not my fault, sir, I assure you.
Every care was taken, a* vou desired,

would insist on being measured silting

what to make of this and at once pro
ceeded to the temple to solve the mys

the imperturbable manner peculiar to
him; "Well. It's my business and not
yours. I like to be comfortable 1 spend
three psirts of my life sitting down,
and 1 prefer to be measured so.”
This recalls the anecdote of the poet
Wordsworth, who, going to a London
tailor and striding around the room,
throwing his arms aro.jiul like a mad-
■nun. asked tin- astonished kidglit of
Hie shears if he could make a suit of
clot tics for a man accustomed to walk
In that manlier. The poet was In the
