To trace the origin of clothes would involve the discussion of many principles of psychological interest. What first prompted man to devising raiment? Was it the love of ornamentation - a quality so universal and so deeply seated as to seem like an instinct? Was it the desire for protection as man became more of a roving animal? Was clothing first adopted as a dis tinction by those who assumed superiority over their fellows?
