"To be well-dressed gives one an ease of manner that is agreeable to all. The consciousness of being well-dressed gives a self-possession that no one can enjoy if he feels that he is shabby-looking or that his clothes are unbecoming. He forgets self in the first instance; in the second he cannot banish self."
-Annie Randall White, Polite Society, At Home and Abroad, 1901
