PATTERNS SENT TO ANY POSTAL ADDRESS. ART AND STYLE IN DRESS. A Short Sketch of its History- and Development. “ And they re\v» 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 Adum 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 since dress has played an.important part in, and exercised: a wonderful influence upon-, the-destiuieaof men.. Had: we the time and money, we 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 each be touched upon, but a« iu 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 witli artistic excellence.

MODERN COACH BUILDING! AND WHERE YOU CAN PROCURE THE GENUINE ARTICLE. Women, it is said, are responsible for the introduction of carriages as a-mcans of conveyance. In ancient times, among the Romans and Greeks,, it meant a confersion of physical weakness for men to ride in a vehicle, hut they were largely used by their mistresses. England followed Rome in adopting wheeled vehicles as a fashionable means of. conveyance, and in Paris their use was prohibited for many years, until 1550, In order to 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 ago the coach, and carriage building iu Southland received a great impetus, necessitating the employment of a large number of tradesmen. Just about that time the City Coach Factory was started in Esk street, Inveicargill, by Messrs W.ddowsou and Fogarty, two enterprising young men from Christchurch. They were trained as wheelwright and, coachbuildor and smith respectively, in the shop of Messrs Curlett and Freeman, the leading coachbuilders iu the colony. By the work they have tamed out they have proved themselves to be first-class tradesmen. Among tire 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 iu their possession from many of their patrons, including one from Messrs Kiugslaud and Ferguson for a Washington car hearse, one of the finest hearses in use in the colony. It lias a landau bottom, and is mounted and finished as it would ba in a leading Loudon shop. An illustration is given on this page of one of their latest—a four-wheeled dog cart, considered to be a great improvmeut 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 a 1 a moderate price, and.give them a call. sxu, □ IOU tun — J w.
