THE PEERLESS PROVINCIAL.

[A London paper learns from a West End tailor that many people in the North and Midlands now achieve a higher standard of dress than the "man about town.">[

If perchance you would gaze upon those whose array's

Of impeccable texture and cut,

It is futile to go to Pall Mall or the Row,

Now the haunt of the second-rate nut;

Take a train (G.N.R.), for example, as far

As Cleckheaton or Cleethorpes-on-Sea,

Where each male that you meet, from his head to his feet,

Follows Fashion's most recent decree.
