Doubtless in the construction of this, the first recorded garment of mankind, a deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed and Mistress Adam must have t v ou"ht it a great improvement on the suit of bareskin which had hitherto for dinner and evening dress. It was soon found, however, to be but a poor protection against climatic changes, and was succeeded by the less ornamental, but more serviceable, suit of sheepskin. As the mental faculties developed, the desire for outward adornment rapidly spread, and ever since dress lias played an important part in, and exorcised a wonderful influence upon the destinies of men. Had wc the time and money, wo might trace its development through successive ages ; the gorgeous robes of the kings and priests of old, the stately Roman toga, the quaint costumes of the Tudors, the silk and lace extravagance of the Georgian era might eacli bo touched upon, but as in this, connection we have to pay for our whistle, wc can only notice the latest and most scientific development, which is GOOLD AND SON'S /Os Tweed Suit, admitted by all who have seen them to be a marvel of cheapness, combined with artistic excellence.

AND WHERE YOU CAN PROCURE THE GENUINE ARTICLE. Women, it is said, are responsible for the introduction of carriages as a means of conveyance. In ancient times, among the Romans and Greeks, it meant a confession of preserve the identity of good women. However, nothing has retarded the free use of all kinds of vehicles during the past few centuries. Originating in the chariot, they, have assumed innumerable shapes to day, and may be counted by millions. It is now more fashionable, especially in large cities, to drive than to walk or ride, while in the carrying on of trade, vehicles of various kinds are simply indispensable. A few years ego the coach and carriage building in Southland received a great impetus, necessitating the employment of a large number of tradesmen. Just about that time the City Coach Factorv was started in Esk street, Invercargill, by Messrs Widdowson and Fogarty, two enterprising young men trom Christchurch. They were trained as wheelwright and coachbuilder and smith respectively, in the shop of Messrs Curlett and Freeman, the leading coaehbuilders in the colony. ' By the work they have turned out they have proved themselves to be first-class tradesmen. Among the two and four-wheelers they have made are a number of station waggons and dog and cai y carls which have given every satisfaction, while they have testimonials in their possession from many of their patrons, including one from Messrs Kiugsland and Ferguson for a Washington car hearse, one of the fiuest hearses in use in the colony. It landau bottom, and is mounted and finished as it would be in a leading London shop. An illustration is given on this page of one of their latest —a four-wheeled dog cart, considered to be a great improvmcnt upon the ordinary waggonette. This is the first of *he kind that has been made in Southland, and is built upon the same lines as one supplied to Lord Glasgow in Christchurch some time ago. Notwithstanding the cry of dull times Messrs Widdowson and Fogarty have been kept going with work, and guarantee to give satisfaction to all who appreciate first-class work at a moderate price, and give them a call.
