Paderewski, nearing 70, arrived look-ing tired and thin after his recent illness. He was accompanied by lank Ernest Schelling, a neighbor of his at Morges on Lake Geneva. He wore the characteristic Paderewski dress: ill-fitting overcoat, slouch hat, black sack suit, white waistcoat, low flannel collar, high button boots. A delegation of Polish war veterans met him at the pier. Newspapers reviewed his political past; emblazoned his most casual utterances.

Indeed, a hat in the last stages of dilapidation can be explained away as due to "indifference", but it is difficult with equal propriety to dismiss a soiled and much trampled-over topcoat as caused by a similar disregard for convention...
Manhattan's Henry Fairfield Osborn gave his crushed fedora hat and fur-lined overcoat (it has fancy buttons) to the cloakroom attendant and strolled to the speakers' platform, where he presided as retiring president. (California Tech's Robert Andrews Millikan is the incoming president.) His speech tended to show that man and monkeys are descended from so remote an ancestor that they should not be considered related...
