Explaining History of Dress.
If one could only know the orlgta
f all the many words we use In our
dally talk, one woulj know much of
the history of dress. , Many of our
most recently adopted clothes words
come from France, but five hundred
years ago dress terms more usually
came from Italy, then the mecca of
fashion. Ilence, velvet came from
"velluto,' the Italian word to Indi
cate shaggy. And "camesole," which
has recently been revived from an
earlier English usage, came from the
Italian diminutive of chemise.
Our Country's Birth.
Our country's Independence dates

a preliminary treaty of peace dated
November 30. 1782. and by the final
or definite treaty dated Septembet S,
1783. This trmty was ratified by the
continental congress January 14. 1784.
