Show WHEN TROUSERS WERE DECRIED On Their First Appearance Many Considered Con-sidered Them Indecorous, It Is hard to think back to the days when men did not wear trousors such as now encase tho limbs of all the masculines ono meets. Harder still to bellevo that theso garments wero by many considered Immoral on their first appearnnco, and that one of tho most numerous of all religious denominations denomina-tions for a long while forbade its ministers min-isters nppenring In tho pulpit clothed in apparel so frivolous. It Is a fact that trousers, introduced by tho duke of Wellington, camo to slowly and were for a long time lookod upon ns a light-minded departure from tho serious and conventional In ' men's dress. I And now, should any sobor-mirulod gentloman venturo to lay theso ubiquitous ubi-quitous and ugly gaiments aside, nnd prance down tho street clad in tho brief knee-breeches and hoao of his progenitors, ho would no doubt Incur tho accusation of being nn Indecorous tritlor. So much hns custom to do with our snrtorlal morals! |
