Did you ever observe, dear comrade, what an element of caricature lurksin clothes? A short, round coat on a stout man seems to exaggerate hisproportions to such a ridiculous degree that the profile of his manlyform suggests "the robust bulge of an old jug."A bonnet decorated with loops of ribbon and sprays of grass, or flowersthat fall aslant, may give a laughably tipsy air to the long face of asaintly matron of pious and conservative habits.A peaked hat and tight-fitting, long-skirted coat may so magnify themeagre physical endowments of a tall, slender girl that she attains thelank and longish look of a bottle of hock.Oh! the mocking diablery in strings, wisps of untidy hair, queertrimmings, and limp hats.
