Show Tyranny of Clothes. . , Place a man in a silk hat and frock coat and transport him to a farmyard. Agricultural pursuits may be the one passion of his life, but clad in these garments he feels in such surroundings surround-ings miserable, out of place, essentially essential-ly urban. Clothe him. conversely, in-flannels in-flannels or knickers and place him in a church, and it is utterly impossible for him to assume a fittingly devotional frame of mind. Unlimited autocracy itself .cannot impose such tyrannies on the subject.' Civilization is the slave of its clothes, and there is no prospect ot freedom. London Graphic. |
