It is an undisputed fact that in this Demo.
cratic State of Indiana there is but one really
high class merchant tailoring establishment and
all gentlemen of refinement who are posted in
matters of dress will recognize at once TO whom
we refer, viz: Messrs. Egan & Treat, of this
city. AS rule, merchant tailors who call them
selves artistic do not comprehend the meaning
of the word applied to tailoring During the
past six months Messrs. Egan & Treat have
thoroughly and expeditiously revolutionized the
methods of tailoring done in indianapolis and
to-day they have no competition whatever
To prove their ambition and desire to please,
this firm has imported from New York and Chi
cago several very fine Swede journeyman taors,
and the patro ms of this house the coming season
will find m arked improvementIn the artistic
finish of their garments. In fact the garments
fashioned from this house are in accordance with
advanced ideas and modern requirements.
The line of elegant suitings, wooens, worsteds
ard special goods which they carry is unsur-
passed, and the style they impart to garment
carries with it the air Of superiority at glance
1t is fact that the quiet elegance pervading
these chambers gives tone and style to gentle
man who wishes to possess the minor conscious
ness of being we'll dressed without showing it in
an DESTINATIONS manner; even the accessories
surrounding him, while enduring the ordeal of
having his measurements recorded. breathe of
refinement and cultivated taste In regard to
gentlemens styles for the coming season, Mr.
Louis NJ. Gray is authority for the following:
In all styles of frock coats the waist is cut
longer and skirts shorter, sleeves wider, and
shoulders have greater breadth
The double breasted Prince Albert frock coat

made of medium vale clay worsted, and is in
variably aat-braided. For full dress coats plain
black cloth has become passe. The proper
thing now is very fine wale-worsted the edges
are finished with a very narrow silk binding
that closely resembles cord; the lapels are mar

Scarcely any other style Of overcoat will be
made for fall wear than the "Chesterfeld" and
there is no style OF morning coat more popular
than the three button cut away.
The three-button walking coat is very hand

not only stylish, but, in the highest sense of the
work. it is artistic It is thing of graceful

tailor If he be reliable one. There are practi-
cally but three styles of scarfs worn These are
