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 ling through her stdrt waist. 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 (letdown. "It is not my fault, sir, I assure you. Every care was taken, a* vou desired, but how could we lit ii gentleman who would insist on being measured silting down'.” I'ndcrdown did not know what to make of this and at once pro ceeded to the temple to solve the mys tery. 1 in learning tlie object his vis Her had in calling. Poland said, with 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 bn tilt of composing his verses while striding through ttie fields and wood* anil didn't care to have his gesticula tions hampered by the cut of his cloth ing.
