ABSTRACT

It is surprising how much we can tell about a person’s character by his dress. I think it is very seldom that we cannot tell whether a person is ignorant or educated, simply by his dress; and there are some few, plain facts about dress that I am going to mention to you tonight. While it is hard to lay down any rules as to how we must dress, I think there are some well- defined principles of dress to which all well-educated persons will conform.
