Guests on Hire.
IT is possible in London for an impecunious gentleman, who has an invitation to dinnerf or other social festivity, to hire a suit of dress clothes in winch he may strut his appointed hour. Paris has set a more daring example. It boasts an agency which not only hires out clothes, bat persona to wear them. The very best article it offers to the public is a first-class wedding guest Bridegrooms who are anxious to be well fuppof ted before the critical eyes of the bride's friends are offered a choice of wellassorted young men who are edSeated, charming talkers, elegant dancers, and adorned with "all the necessary talents perteinlnj to fine society." This .is very well so faVasit goes. But supposing, the bridegroom is not in himself a grace ni Adonfs, the system is apt to provoke InWdiouß comparisons. That is a distinct diaadvantage.
