A HINT FOR MOSES.
Mr. Punch, Baker Street, June IS, 1844.
Passing by the eminent establishment of E. Aaron and
Co., the great European tailors of the City, I was naturally attracted
(along with hundreds of others) to examine the beauteous objects of
gent.'s attire, which are exhibited in their unrivalled plate-glass
windows. 'Tis a sight indeed worthy of inspection. And not a little
amusing was it to the observer of human nature, which I flatter
myself I am, to mark the various passions of delight and surprise
exhibited in the countenances of the myriads thronging round the
establishment.
One couple specially engaged my attention : a gentleman in a green
-coat and mahogany coloured top-boots, evidently fresh from the
the shop with infinite politeness, promising to be punctual with the
clothes in Berkeley Square, next Tuesday.
Several persons had been spectators of the scene (for it took place
before the shop door, so that all the world might see it), and I have
no doubt many were attracted by the exhibition, and determined to
bring their own children to the Emporium.
Well sir, 'twas my lot some days after to have a second occasion
to visit the Majories (where Mr. Aaron's shop is) and at about the
same hour of the day, when the busy throng crowd thickest in that
commercial quarter.
