nam about the same, the only things
tnat change are the colors and comhna-
tlohs OF colors. These are lust now of a
tendency to quietness.
IN trousers there seems to be more
and more feeling Of favor toward the
so-called peg top trousers-that is. wide
at the knee and smaller at the bottom
ferhaps you or l may not see it in an
extreme form, but it will come I am
sure.
lin coats the favorite is, and will
continue to be, the cutaway. This
coats popularity lies in the fact that
during the day it is always dress, and
therefore is in good form for almost any
occasion: For dress occasions during
the day 1t has almost wholly supplanted
the trock or Prince Albert. The Prince
Albert Is difficult coatfor MANY people,
especially man at all inclined to be
spare and slim. to wear. No matter
how well the coat may fit or how we'll
he may be dressed in conjunction with
the Prince Albert, spare man looks
more or less like farmer in one. That
is the reason 1t is waning in popularity.
In GETAWAYS the three button will con-
tlnue to be the popular one. One but
ton wouldn't seem to make much differ
ence, but the people seem to prefer it
with only three buttons.
'Then with three buttons a hand
somer garment can be cut. Yes, thew
are being cut lower at the neck as in
the vests. Vests are being lower and
lower, some Of them almost as low as
the full-dress vest. The double-breast-
ed vest finds great favor, especially if
made up in fancy goods Of quiet pat
terms.
''In full-dress coats the shawl-collar,
that is a rolling collar unnotched, is the
great favorite, especially among the
made to run all the way to the
edge of these collars. Of course
the notched lapel collar is still worn
and is not questionable. A coat that
is becoming more and more popular
for stag dress occasions is the Tuxedo.
1t is a dress coat and yet it has a
lounge effect. But it is not to take the
place of the dress-coat entirely, al
though an effort has several times been
made to make it do SO.
Gin full dress vests there should be
great latitude allowed in the Colors. A
white vest, or even light buff, lights up
the otherwise sOmber appearance Of
the man in full dress. Nowadays the
wearing OF lavender trousers is having
somewhat the same effect. On oc~
casions when a dress suit is worn one is
supposed to be enjoying ones self,
and the funereal appearance Of the
men on such occasions should be done
away with"
But think of lavender trousers and
buff vests in soot-rotten Cincinnati !!
Many an ''impecunious swell'' will
shudder at the prospect. 1t may be
costly but once it gets a hold he'll have
to get them if he wants to be ''in 1t. y
