Broadcloth has been the only cloth
since the memory of man for gentle
men and fer walters. The elderly gen

to the broadcloth, but the thing to get
for your next dress suit is a diagonal
or basket pattern in back. Coat,
wa s.coat and trousers are all made
from the same piece. these goods are
lined with silk and bound with narrow
braid. The cu!is are bound around
about four inches from the end of the
sleeve, and underneath two imitation
button-holes are worked and two but

closer to the figure than they used to

"Ies. 1t is because we can do it.
The diagonals are an easier, more elias

They hold their own. Full evening
dress where ladies are to form part of

cut of this garment di Iers from the old

How about the coming cut of

Trousers are not quite so tight, but
they follow the shape of the legs"

Not here. Possibly it could be done

wear four-button cutaway coats in dag

really the most elegant business suit
A man is ready in such suit to go any

Stout people would no doubt be glad
to have further information as to the
method by which Price Bismarck has
at last got rid of his superAuous flesh.
For dozen years the man of blood
and iron has been afflicted with all
sorts of maladies, more or less directly
traceable to his excessive corpulence
He passed sleepless nights, and could
hardly walk couple of hundred yards
without fatigue. Doctor after doctor
was called in; but physicians were in
vain." At last, however, he has found
his savior. Count William Bismarck.
the princes second son. was, like his
father, long troubled by obesity. One
happy day o literary friend introduced
to him certain DIR. Schwenninger, q
Bavarian, who claimed to have hit upon
. regimen which was an infalliblc cure
for fatness.
Count William placed himself unre-
servedly in the hands of the herb
doctor, and in q few weeks had lost his
superhuous bulk. ThereupOa Dr.
Schwenninger was summoned to the
chant 9, lor, whom he undertook to cure
as he had cured his son. At the end of
seven or eight weeks Prince Bismarck
weighed sixty pounds less, and he now
looks upon himself as cured He sleeps
long and TRANQUILITY; he is at his desk ut
in the morning; he takes long walks
which would fatigue young man, and
alter ten years absence from the saddle,
he is now able to ride. All this is pro-
digious; but what is DR.. Schwenninger's
mysterious regimen?
