?Answer to Why do Men Wear
Trousers ?
No living man of this age ever deliberately chose to "adopt trous
ers." He was forced into them and all other eccentricies of
dress by woman. Ip the very earliest sartorial experience of
every man he is swathed in a queer bundle of incoherent ban
dages by-woman i- Later she puts him Into cute little dresses
so that the neighbors can't tell him from his lltt!e state.
Still later she cuts off his curls and puts him into knickerbockers,
and he puts on "long pants" when she gives the word and not
before. That is all that man has to do or ever "had to do with
wearing trousers. Woman forced him into them in the first
place and now he is afraid to wear any thine eUc for fear of
i making a sensation
Now Mr. as long as you have got to wear them
let us be your TAILOR.
