"No, I don't think you have seen it." "Oh, I see, lots of men carry them under their vests. But I think we should let the world see it. Do you carry yours next your heart?"

Should we wear white ties and white vests, or white ties and black vests? The evening fell on a dark and rainy night, but the Garlands came down in their best attire and so did the Babcocks, the Gilchrists and many other of our neighbors.
On some occasions, as our travellers afterwards learned, these regiments turned out in every variety of costume, with coats, hats, vests, and trousers, of all colours and patterns as if they had been got up by an extensive dealer in old clothes.
