UNIFORMS OP SOLDIERS ARE NO
LONGER CONSPICUOUS.
Elaborate .Costumes That Were Worn
by Combatants of the Last Two
Centuries Are No Longer Seen
on the Battlefield.
The soldier's dress has been simpli
fied to bare necessities. It was other
wise in the old times. The military
1 regulations of the eighteenth and the
greater part of the nineteenth centu
ries furnish one long record of altera
tions of costume, of solemn injunc
tions as to laces, loops, frogs, buttons,
facings, epaulets, "wings," and what
not
The dressing of the soldier's hair
was a special object of concern. Un
til the end of the eighteenth century
the hair was an elaborate arrange
ment of grease and powder. Three
shillings per man was the allowance
in 1794 for these two toilet adjuncts,
and the cost to the country four shil
lings four pence for pipe-clay and
whiting with which to furbleh up his
white breeches and leather appur
tenances. ' To make up for this out
lay he was expected to make shift
with the renewal of only half of his
waistcoat the fore part the hind
part having to be made out of that
of the preceding year I So ran the
regulations of 1783.
In 1795 powder was discontinued by
the non-coms and the rank and file,
but it was still the regulation - for
officers. When the Twenty-ninth now
the Worcestershire one of the trim
mest regiments in the army, was sta
tioned at Weymouth In 1797 an order
was issued directing that the hair was
to be dressed "with one curl on each
side; 'the toupee turned and not too
long; the club to be tied high and to
be more broad at the top than at the
bottom; the rosette to be all ribband
and not more than eight Inches in -diameter,
the ribband and rosette to be
perfectly black and put on after pow
dering." The Grenadiers and light infantry
officers were to have their hair dressed
'the same as the men, excepting their
side locks, which may come down so
as to cover the open part of the ear,
but never lower, and must be frizzed
so as not to blow about" Queues were
worn until 1808.
The soldier's hat has been the sub
ject of continual 'experiment and
change, from the picturesque bat of
1686, with its broad brim turned up
on one side and ornamented with
white ribbon, to the mean looking
Broderick cap. In 1751 the three
cornered cocked hat was in favor;
then came the imposing miter cap,
converting the wearer into a sort
of miniature pope; and this was fol
lowed by a bearskin of a similar
shape. In 1778 light infantry wore
leather caps almost as small as skull
caps, with a large round peak. The
officer's hat of 1798 was a most elabo
rate and expensive affair, ornamented
with the finest black ostrich feathers,
with a standup feather of red and
black.
The shako, the most hideous hat
ever contrived, commenced its long
reign in 1800, when it supplanted the
cocked hat Originally it was of
lacquered felt, with a peak, a large
brass p'ate In front and a red and
black tuft on the crown rising from a
small black cockade; and after many
variations it disappeared In 1878,
when the cork helmet became he
regulation bat, in Its turn to be -superseded
by the khaki cap. which, all
things considered, is about the best
headgear yet devised. LoLdon Globe.
