Is a vest of sealskin fur that was at one time a real part of the Sunday dress of the English gentlemen in the rural parts of England and which Mr. Johnson cherishes as a remembrance of his more youthful days in the old home. The vest is still in good shape and shows the excellent material of which it was made to withstand the wear and tear of the years. The vest has concealed buttons and is a heav ily quilted affair that makes it warm and comfortable to wear in the chilly days, doing away with the necessity jof heavier top coats. 5 3 OFIT!
