It was a remarkable fact that tho petti coat was first worn by men. mid that even iu this ago and generation men aro lolh to discard its flowing drapery. "1 liko to record this fact," wrilesa lady.

And wo do not wonder this is so. There is dignity iu drapery, as well as grace and elegance. When Henry VIII. went to meet Anno of Cloves ho was habited, we road, "in a coat of velvet somewhat made like a froeko, embroidered all over with flatted gold of damasko, with small laec mixed between, of the same gold, and other laces of the same "oiier h-averswis., that the ground little appeared;" mid iu a description of a similar garment belon--- iug lo his father, Henry VII., wo lead of its being decorated wilh bows of ribbon. quite as a belle of tho present day would adorn a ball-room dress. It is well kuuwn that the garment was at first not nl a kirt, but, us the iiaiuc denotes, a little coat. How it caiuo to lose its in, nor naif or body wo do not know, unless the "pel- j tieout was made with long skills for the sake of warmth, and in each case it was as inui'h petticoat, as wc understand il, as anything else.

And easily enough wo trace them down through the ages.

Thus wo hoar nothing of women's petlieoats before the Tudor period, "(iood IJuocn Hess," with all her learning, which was cssciitiallv masculine in lo. ...... ...,.) time, had the true instincts of womanli ness, as regards personal adornment, mid even though wc find her deficient in taste and heartily wish she had not made such a guy of herself iu her old age, yet a woman we have to thank her for stockiii"8 o and petticoats and many other luxuries which have become necessities and which wo now appropriate with as true a belief iu our inalienable right to their sole pos session as (bough the legacy bad fallen to us from Mother Kvc, instead of -Maiden Klizabclh.
