Doubtless in the. construction of this, the first recorded garment of mankind, a deal of thought and ingenuity was displayed and Mistrcss Adam must have tl ought it a great improvement on the suit of barcskin which had hitherto done duty for dinner and evening dress. It was soon found, however, to be hut a poor protection against climatic changes, and was succeeded by ,the..less ornamental, but more seiviccable, 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 destinies of men. Had we the time and money, we might trace its development through successive, ages; the gorgeous robes of tUe 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, hut 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 b /Os Tweed Suit, admitted by all who have seen them, to be a marvel of cheapness, combined with artistic excellence.

MODERN"COACH BUILDING I AND WHERE VOU CAN PROCURE THE GENUINE, ARTICLE. Women, it is said, are responsible for the introduction of carriages.as a means of eon.teyanee. In ancient times, among the Romans and Greeks, it meant a confession of ; r ey;uiot;. JU aunuil umw, uiv. uan.iwuo J - - -- ihysical weakness for men to.ride in a vehicle, but they were largely used by their mis-, cesses. England followed Rome in adopting wheeled vehicles as a lashionable means of mnvcyanco, and in Paris their use was prohibited for many years, until 1550, in order to /reserve the identity of good women. However, nothing has retarded the free use of all finds of vehicles during the past few centuries. Originating in the chariot, they have asumed innumerable shapes to day, and, may be counted by millions. It is notv more ashionable, especially in large cities, to dyitfe than to walk or ride, while in the carrying mof trade, vehicles of various kinds are simply indispensable, A few years vga the coach md carriage building in Southland received, a great impetus, necessitating the employment >f a lai <'e number of tradesmen. Just about that time, tho (Aty Coach Factory ; vfas smarted n Ksk street, Invci cirgill, by Messrs W.ddowson and Fogarty, two enterprising young nen from' Christchurch.
