EVERYBODY who has to get into dress co;
knows the difficulty of preventing it fro
swinging away at the WAIST or collar, or slil
ping of the shoulders. These apparently il
remediable defects-irrenediable because Il
coat cannot be buttoned-have been con
pletely overcome by well known court tailo
of Bedford street, strand, London, by attach
ing the walstcOat to The coat in q very simp
manner. Thus. when the vest is buttoned Il
coat for all practical purposes is also Blu
toned. Moreover. the latter then clinos
the figure as closely as a frlck coat, and r,
mains in the same position, imparting an a,
pearance of smartness about he waist esp
cially which in dress SUIT is really of ii
utmost Importance TO the wearer. There
no doubt that the dress coat and vest con
blned will be very popular during the presei
season.
