HOW THE DRESS COAT CAME.
A Creation Which Grew Out of n Ride
ulous Costume.

A Creation Which Grew Out of Ridic-
ulous Costume.
Perhaps few men who wear the conven-
tional claw-hammer coat are aware of its
origin. Mr.. w. w. Story, in his delightful
conversations in a studio, says: The dress
coat is the great product of the French revo-
luton.
The old coat out Of which it was created
was not beautiful in itself, but it had a GER
tain character and effect as a costume. 1t
was long in skirt and buttOned across the
chest. The sleeves were loose and turned
up, with facingS from beneath; while in full
dress, lace Iuffies depended over the hand.
Also the coat was faced with different
colored lining which it showed when un-
buttoned. In walking, the skirts. faced.
also, were turned back and buttOned up to
two buttons on the back.
Gradually it was Topped and reduced to
the thing it now is. The skirts in front
were cut away instead of being turned back
But the two foolish buttons behind were
still kept after their use had gone.
The front was permanently turned back,
and the coat made too narrow to button,
the FOOLS cuts now remaining in the collar
representing the old division of the front
lappets.
As time went on more and more of the
skirts were cut away, until they were re-
duced to the ridiculous Swail0w-tail in
which Beau Brummel said there was safety.
The collar was piled up behind the facinss
and colors were done away with, and thus
little by little grew up the glorious thing
called dress coat.

The Tailors' Art.

mo two men, even of exact height aud
weight" said prominent New York tailor
the other day, "can wear the same clothes and
be fitted. II the measurement were exactly
the same, which it never is, they couldn't do
it. Why? Now, Idon't know. But have
found it to be a fact. The measurement for
a pair of trousers, for instance. might be
exactly the same, yet one man will have to
be allowed from one to three inches more
length in the legs than the other. The man
who is naturally stout or fat. and the man
who has grown fat late in life, may look and
even measure exactly alike, but the same cut
of cloth will never fit both. Herein lies the
great art of tailoring. The variations in the
construction of the human body are marvel

complained of a migraine and low spirits,
and fixed her glorious eyes pleaiingly upon
him, he urged tenderly but forcibly that hi,
motheS had sent for him and that there was
no help for it.
Scarcely had the door closed upon him
when, as Irma turned to take up his coat
from the sofa where he had thrown it, a
folded sheet of rose-tinted paper met her
gaze. She drew it forth, and although the
tiny square Of pink glowed like sheet of
flame before her eyes, she succeeded at last

Scarcely had Count d'Athis been ushered
into Aurelie's presence when the thought
fitted through his mind that he had forgot
ten to destroy the little sheet of rose-tinted
paper upon which Mile. de Seychelles had
traced her message; nay more, that he had
even carelessly flung the coat containing 1t

d'Athis for a brief half hour by her side. In
vain did she labor, book in hand, to faSten
his attention upon the newly-discOverSd
pearls of thought in the limpid stream OF his
verse. The poets thoughts were elsewhere.
He only seemed to listen and the Stammered
words of thanks had a dry and hollow
sound. Mile. de Seychelles was in despair.
She dreaded to confront her patroness again

crumped and tear-stained, met the poets
gaze, he sank with groan to his chair and
his head fell forward upon his desk. He
knew the wild and hayward child of nature
only too well even to deem it necessary to
open the door and satisfy himself that she
had fled. His poetic instinct, intensely i'm
questionable and perceptive, told him all.
1t whispered to him: ''She has fled! lrma
has fled!'
But one thought came to Count Charles to
tie mper his grief, and it was that Irma had a
safe and sure asylum toward which TO turn
her face, namely, the cottage of the old
poacher on the edge of the Rambouillet
Forest, where tender and affecti0nate well
come would fall to the share of the beautiful
prodigal, when she came timidly to lift the
latch and advance to the wide-opened fire
place, where her old father was wont to sit
and smoke his pipe, in order to place the
baby NiScount on his knees.
And what a joyful moment it would be for
little Robert. For already w0ndrouS tales
of Grandpa Sales home on the edge of
Rambouiles Forest, where white pigeons
circle about his head, fowl eat out of his
hands and little pigs with curly tails follow
at his heels, had danced through the child'S
head until he discnurSed upon what they
did at Grandpa Selle's" as if 1t were all
known to him from actual observation.
But great as had been the Countess Dow
ayers chagrin at Aurelie's failure TO make
a successful assault upon the poets heart
on that fateful night, her alarm was even
greater when she learned of lrina's fight.
1t complicated matters terribly, for follow
lug as it did so closely upon the heels of
Aurelie's failure, it might easily have the
effect of precIpitating a crisis and ending
forever all her hopes Of union between
her son and Mile. de Seychelles.
Hence madam the Countess DOwager rec

Irma sprang to her feet, hastily threw
long thick cloak over her shoulders, buttoned
it and drew the capuehoh up over her
head. Then catching up blanket she
lifted little Robert from the floor, wrapped
him carefully in it, and then swathed up the
precious burden with still another cover

his room uuOccupied, the Countess Dowager
had, almost with fear and trembling, dis

A sigh of relief burst from her lips when
word was returned that Count Charles had
not been at the cottage since the evening
before. A messenger to Paris likewise
failed to discover the whereabouts of the
poet. The Countess Dowager struggled
hard to satisfy herself that her sons fight

That wretched girl scarcely knew herself
what had and what had not taken place on
the terrace. She only knew that for some
reason, utterly incompreheEsible to her.
Count Charles breath, which for a blissful
instant had famed her cheek like the per-
fumed ether Of some phlter, had suddenly
filled the air with appalling objurgation,
that the gentle Orpheus, the sweet
Persuader, had in wink of an
