...good "tone" to them, even when they are old. In buying the highest grade of garments you are not paying for "name," but you are getting the best of everything from the wool to the finished garment. The wool used in the finest English cloths, is allowed to lie over two years, after being dyed, before being used; you can readily see how much more reliable the colors would be than when the wool is transferred from the sheep's back to the ready-made suit inside of six months, as is often deno in this country.

During the three weeks before the race they live within a stone's throw of each other and practice within plain sight of each other. It is not uncommon for one crew to lie on their oars and watch their rivals row by at full speed and on time. There is no attempt made, by spreading reports that one man is ill and that another will probably be unable to row, to deceive each other in regard to the relative strength of the crews...
