Marked Changes in Styles Of Mems
Clothing.
reproducing the Productions Of English
Enthusiastically Long Coats-
Fancy waistcoats for Boys.

From the Clothiers and Haberdsshers' weekly
The fashions In mems clothing for next fall
show MARKED changes when compared with the
garments previously worn. The celebrated
tailors Of London, whose leadership has always
been followed to q considerable extent by
American tailors. have this season been closely
initiated by manufacturers Of ready-made cloth
ing, and it will be difficult next fall to deter
mine whether the garments worn by we'll
dressed men are from the hands Of . merchant
tailor or from factories
Greater care than usual has been taken by
manufacturers this season in the production Of
their goods, and although the creations Of the
English tailor have to a great extent been re-
produced, awkward and ridiculous features
have been eliminated and the result is graft
flying. Although there are radical changes in
store. many OF them are sensible and will doubt
less be favorably received One feature of next
seasons coats will be their unusual length. This
change will apply to all, including The dress
coat, the Prince Albert, the cutaway, the sack
| and the overcoat.
Full Dress Suits.
The dress coat will be longer than last season
and full silk fscings will be extensively worn.
There will be slight change In the cut Of vests
but . strong effort will be made 10 bring into
| favor waistcoats Of white and fancy silk fab
RIGS. Trousers for dress suits will be trine
less wide than last year, and welt outsesms will.
| to q great extent, be worn. The materials Of
which dress suite will be manufactured will be
chiefly those which. during the last few sea-
sons, have been popular.
The Prince Albert.
The skirts OF Prince Albert coats viii reach 10
the knee and some will be cut still longer.
Wide bindings will be revived and both coat and
vest will be cut lower than they were last season
Many fancy cashmere and cheviot Prince Albert
suits will be worn. Trousers when Of different
material from the coat and vest will be lighter.
In these garments stripes will be more popular.
Fancy cashmere vests, some very novel In de-
sign, will be popular for wear with Prince Al
bert coats. Black cheviot Prince Alberts will
be worn BY a few, but standard worsteds and
diagonais will continue in public favor.
The Getaway Coat.
determined effort viii be made next fall 10
popularize to greater extent than before the
cutaway coat, and the style Of this garment for
next season will certainly appeal very strongly
| to men who like TO appear in semi-dress. The
skirts OF the cutaway cont will be very long and
full, extending we'll over the hips. The collars
will be deep, with a wide roll. and three button
fronts will be the most popular. Several manu-
facturers are showing cutaway suits with dou-
ble-breasted vests. Wide bindings win appear
on many GETAWAY coats and vests and also on
the welt seams Of trousers
Sack coats will doubtless retain their pop
ularity and double-breasted will be preferred
to single-breasted garments. Both will be cut
long. some with single breasted and cthery
with double-breasted vests. Fancy cheviots
will predominant. The most popular goods
will be plaids and stripes. Many houses are
showing novel designs, but prediction OF the
extent OF their popularity would be hazardous.
In sack suits standard black cheyiots and
worsteds. and the same fabrics in browns, grays
a Wi he ay
Many Of the trouserings for fall are handsome.
The impression prevails that fabrics OF neat de-
| signs in stripes and checks will be the most
popular. but it is probable that there will be q
considerable demand for trousers Of ma
| terial brighter in color and more novel in
design than those which have been worn TO q
great extent during the last few years.
| Mems Overcoats.
Mems overcoats next fall will be handsome
and comfortable. Men who affect extreme
styles will wear fall coats which extend well be-
low the knees, and listers will reach TO within q
few inches OF the ground There will probably
| be more doubie-breasted coats worn next fall
and winter than single breasted. They viii al
| be cut full. Velvet collars and large buttons
| will prevail The ulster promises 10 be more
| popular than ever, and is shown BY most manu-
| facturers in q large number Of attractive styles
| These garments are more slightly than usual
and even the heavy meltons and chinchilas are
| enhances
| their appearance. Fur trimmings will be popu-
| lar FOR winter coats. Several OF the larger
| manufacturers are showing many STYLES in Rus
| sian coats trimmed with astrakhan collars and
cuffs. and with silk ornaments substitutes for
buttons. Silk facings will be popular on coats
| OF lighter weight, and Innings Of plaid and
check worsted will be largely worn
Boys Clothing.
Greater attention than ever before has been
given this season to suits for boys from twelve
to eighteen years old. These garments for
next fall are shown in a large number Of styles
| and have received almost as much attention in
| their construction as have suits for men. More
| cutaway coats for bows are shown this season
than ever before. Many OF the garments are
made OF cheviot OF handsome designs, which
| viii certainly be popular.
For children from six to twelve years old two
| distinct styles Of garments will be popular, one
| for school wear and the other for dress. Chill
| drens dress suite this season are more elaborate
| in design than they have been in the past
Black and blue velvet suits will be worn con-
| slderably. and garments made from dark cassi-
meres and worsieds will be elaborately trimmed
| with silk braid bindings and other Ornamental
| One-third Of the suits shown for next fall
wear are made with vests or "vestees," and
the workmanship in most cases is of a
| high order. School suits are palmer and
are copied to a considerable degree after
| garments worn by older bows and men,
Double-breasted sack coats will prevail
They will be made of heavy and rough mate
rials, with wooden Innings. silk sleeves and
large buttons. Several houses are showing
these styles with the ordinary rolling collar in
front, developed into a wide sailor collar in the
back. Manufacturers Of childreu's suits seem
| to have We'd with each other this season in pro-
duclng wear-resisting garments. Nearly al
school suits have double knees. many have
double seats, and few enterprising firms are
making them with double elbows. The REFER
overcoat will be popular for children. and the
large demand for this garment last season will
probably be exceeded These coats are made
in most cases with velvet collars, having wide
roll, and are lined with plaid woolens For
younger children cape overcoats will continue
| to be in demand. These are made OF lighter
weight cloth and many are deliberately trimmed
Extremely wide capes will not be worn except
by very young children. All the capes'are
detachable. Astrakhan, velvet and fancy plaid
worsteds will be used largely for trimmings,
and some Of the finer garments shown by the
larger manufacturers are trimmed with seal,
otter, beaver and other furs.
