To make the acquaintance, there- fore, of thousands of new subscribers, THE STAR is giving away this beautiful portrait of KING EDWARD. the Toronto Star’s Portrait of King Edward DAILY STAR hizrhcwt standard oflitimgraphy attziinahie on this continent. it -imws His 2.1aj':.-4ty in oiiiciai uniform, with his; decorations in their proper colors. As a piece or portraiture, it is the best . obtainableâ€"better than a photograph, as all oil paintings by competent artists must be. The artistic value is heightened by a rich background, which increases in the print the effect of an oil paint- ing. The gold of the uniform stands out upon the picture with striking richness. The picture is 18 inches by 24 inches. a convenient size for fram- ing. The paper is of the finest and heaviest quality. No echns-e has been spared in the work. According to the price charged for some other pictures of King Edward which have been displayed in shop windows, this one is easily worth 01.00.

Lyndesay wrote of ladies’ side3tails flapping the filth among their feet. jarm dubs them sluts and harlots Chalmers inform us: "The parlia- [mental James II did all that men icoultl do to regulate dress and to re. tstrain the tails of women.” The lsnmptuary of this Scottish Monarch lortlains: " 'l‘hat na woman cum to the kink, nor mercat. with her face tnussaletl that sche may nocht be ikend. under the pane of escheit of E the churchie.” In England also the women muflletl to the eyes when they wished to conceal their intlentity, as .(lid Falstaff when he personatetl the , fat woman of Brentl’ord. ()ne of the most monstrous Slllgtb larities of dress was that of trunk hreechee. worn «luring the reign of James I and Charles I. These were extended alum-st to.the dimensions of j the ladies’ farthingalee, so that Bul- wet‘ in his “ Artificial Changeling ” «all them " a kind of vertlingale hremrhes." 'l‘lwy were stuffed with l â€"» < -. rags, tow, hemp, hair, or ” other like things.” and occasionally formed l‘n- ceptacles for the plunder of thieves. The same writer tells of a gentleman who had a small hole torn in his im- mense hose 1y a nail in his chair, so that when he rose and bowed to the ladies, “ the bran poured forth as from a mill.” Another Wiiter said. " they are almost capable of holding;r u hnslwl of wlwute, and if they be of sackcloth they would serve to carry nmwlt to the mill.” 'l‘his absurd garment gaVo rise to a new kind of theft-«the cutting 35 of the tails of wattle and horses at night. so The sumptunry laws enacted dur- ing various reigns. were found very iueflicient. and eventually ceased to be enforced. Satire on dress also wa. of little avail. A monk of Edward the First’s time wro'e of "a proud woman who wore a. whim dress. with “ 'l‘hat uuut one boast. nor nurse can tell Which ways his tale IN savte." This fashion rais. d the price of horse hair from t“ upence to u shilling per pound. 'l‘he larthingale was the comple- ment of trunk hose, and was equally ridiculous. Like the rolls it appears to have been imported from Spain. and Howell says that the Spanish word for a larthingale, literally trans- lated, is cover-infant. It was the forerunner of the hooped petticoat which was first mentioned in 1598. Thirteen years after this it had be- come fashionable. and the ladies’ gowns appeared “ like bells or pyra- mids.” The hoops of our time were of smaller dimensions. yet these were too large for ordmary vehicles. and we have often seen ’hus conduct- ors pushing frantically at the ample and elastic Surroundings of stout old ladies before they Could assist them to their seats. In 1745, when they rwere at their maximum, “'l‘he lte- .view" suggested various modes of joveieoming this and other inconven- ' iencos. It was proposed that couches "shoulilezuch have a moveahle roof. {and a frame and pullies to drop the l‘dlliws in from the top.

Sumo of the lush- .ons t.xvl.-:.mr.d ugh.“ were bunn- lees; others deserved all that could be said against them, and especially the mode of the indecent exposule of llne bosom that came in with the Stuants. One dxvine declared that "the vanities and exorbitancies of many woman in painting, patching, spotting, and blotting themselves, were the badge of an harlot; rotten posts are painted. and gilded nut- megs are usually the worst.” The noble ladies of the reign of James I wore rufl's or bands of immoderate size stretched out from the neck, while " the front of the dress is cut away immediately beneath it, nearly to the waist * * ‘ all the other part of the busr. was over-cloathed, while the bosom was perfectly bare.” Hence one of the ballads ran : “ And in church to tell you true Men cannot serve God for looking on you.” A satirical poem named “ Mundus Muliebris,” published in 1690, gives the most compiete account of a lady’s wardrobe and boudoir of that time. The list too twenty-two quarto pages to describe. It begins:â€" "file that will needs to Merry-land Adventure. first must understand F or’s bark, what tackle to prepare. ’Gainst wind and weather, wear and tare. and what followed was enough to discourage the most daring from such 9’ an undertaking.

If the women were ridicu- lous in one direction the men Wei-e equally so in another. Tom Brown in “Letters from the Deed to the Living,” describes a bean “ who made a most magnificent figure: his puri- wig was large enough to have loaded a camel. and he bestowed upon it. at least, a bashel of powder." A man wearing a. ltumilie wig; and mil’fetee would now be hoozeil through the streets. yet in the early past of the last century these were the height of fashion. Wige coals, cups, hats. shoes hreeches. and even shirts and cruvats. have each a history of their own. and have all been marked hr the follies of fashion. The shafts of the witty and the dia'ribes of divines have been leVelled against each in turn.

What art thou proud of, then? me thinks ’tis lit. Thou shouldst be humble for the wearing it,’ We regret that want of space forbids ' us to dive deeper into this interest- ing subject. But the few examples we have brought forward are suflici- ent to indicate the trend of human folly in dress and to show that we do not clathes ourselves from motives of health. comfort or true adornment so tnuch as from the impulse of false pride and shallow vanity. It is not necessary to agree with the sour pre- cisians whose minds are as dun col- ored as their clothes. nor even with the amiable Dr. Watts as to pride in dress. Beautiful garments are as nice as any other beautiful thing, and we do well to be pleased if we EpOSsess them. But we must net con- , found the fashionable with the beaut-l iful. 'l‘he fashionable is seldom beautiful, but it is our duty to make ' . it as beautiful as possible, and to be‘ lguided by the highest Standard of I taste. The fashionable should also be comfortable. or rather the comfor- ttable Should alone be fashioaahle. for lwhat is life without comfort ‘3 int l above all. nothing injurious to health should be deemed lit. to wear. We are on the eve of a scientific era-~ an era of universal enlightenment. in which every individual must either assist or hinder. Let us. then, look -wit.h scorn upon the monstrosities of l fashion, and regard the disfigure- ‘ment and distortion of our bodies as a high offence against God and 1 against human nature. “ See how sume borruw’d ofl‘cast vaiue at tirP.
