ART AND“STYLE IN MIESST ’ A Short Sketch of its History and Sevelopment. “And they sew. d fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” 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 tl ought it a great improvement on the suit of bareskin which had hitherto done duty 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 sirce dress has played an important part in, and exercised a wonderful influence upon the destinies of men. Had wc the time and money, we might trace its development through successive, ages;-the gorgeons robes of the kings and priests of old, tlje stately Roman toga, the quaint costumes of the Tudors, the silk and lace extravagauce'of the Georgian era might each bo touched upon, but as in this connection we have to pay for our whistle, we can only notice the latest and most scientific development, which is GOOLD AND SON’S 70s Tweed Suit, admitted by all who have seen them to be a marvel of cheapness, combined with artistic excellence.

MODERN COACH BUILDING! AlaD WHERE YOU CAN PROCURE THE GENUINE ARTICLE. Women, it is said, arc responsible for the introduction of carriages as a means of con‘yeyappe. In ancient tirqes, among the.Romans and Greeks, it meant a confession of physicalweakncsss for iqen to ride in a vehicle, but they were largely used by their mis - , tresses. England folioayed Ro|rie |ri adopting wheeled- vehicles as a fashionable means of conveyance, and in Paris their use avus prohibited for many years, until 1550, in order, to preserves the identity of good women. However, nothing has retarded the free use of all kinds of vehicles duping, the past few eentqrl.es. Originating in the chariot, they have assumed i innumerable shapes, to day, and may be counted by millions. It is now more fashionable, especudly in large cities, to drive than to avalk or ride, while in the carrying on of trade, vehicles of a-arious kinds are simply indispensable. A few yearg ego the .coach and carriage building in Southland received a great impetus, necessitating the employment of a laige number of tradesmen. Just about that time the City Coach Factory was started in Ksk street, Inve. cargill, by Messrs W.ddpwson and Fogarty, two enterprising young men trom Christchurch. They were trained as avheelwright and coachbuilder rand smith i respectively, in, the shop of Messrs.Curlett and Freeman, the leading coachbuilders in the co'ony. By tfie 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 carts 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 finest hearses in use in the colony. It has a 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, conisidercAto be a great improvment 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. i Notavithstanding the cry of dull times Messrs Widdowson and Fogarty have been kept I going with work, and guarantee to give satisfaction to all who appreciate first-class work ;c.t a moderate price, and give them a call.
