Mems Winter GnrIl,

The double-breasted sack coat will be
worn in the colder weather of winter. 1t is
stylish In appearance, and has always had
fair share of popularity. 1t closes high
on the chest, and has its laps well peaked.
The pockets are finished with welts instead
of flaps.
Among the various styles Of overcoats
that are destined to be popular, the "Ches
terrified" will undoubtedly hold first place.
1t Is very stylish, and at the same time
comfortable, virtues to which II owes the
hold it has on public esteem. For fall wear
its length will be about thirty-seven and
a'haf inches for a man standing live feet
eight inches, and In girth IL Will be quite
large. II will have light lapels aud collar,
and will be made to roll about five inches
or to turn full from top to bottom.
Light-colored goods will be in greatest
demand for the makeup Of this garment,
and the edges will be double stitched. the
silk viii show as far us the end OF the col
lar, and the seams Will be turned aud
stitched Onc'eighth Of an inch wide or
Tapped aud stitched one-quarter Of All inch
back,
For winter wear the length will be 80 or
40 inches, and the lappols and collar will
be much heavier The edges viii be bound
or piped with velvet or finished with cord.
Quilted silk will be- used for facing, which
will show to the buttons. The sleeves are
to be finished with cuts, closed with one or
more buttons.
The double.breastcd ulster viii once
more, If authority is to be believed, become
popular, 1t is to have as an adjunct a
shoulder cape 1t will probably be made Of a
heavy checked suitlng, and will have the
edges heavily double-stltched and the seams
widely Tapped. 1t will be rather loose
fitting, forty-siX inches In length, and will
have deep, well-peaked lapels, with col
lar Of the same width. The buttons will be
Of horn, and are to be placed about six
inches from the edges. The pockets are to
be cut diagonally on a curve, The sleeves
are large and finished with full cuffs. The
length of the cape is to be eighteen inches,
and will have but little drapery,
The regular double breasted oyercoat win
also find considerable favor. 1t 10 TO be
about an inch longer than the heavy "Ches-
terileld,h but otherwise will be the same ex-
cept In front. The lapels will be three
inches wide and well peaked aud the col
lar will be half an inch narrower. The
buttons will be about four and a-half inches
