THE COMMON BLACK COAT.

II l. Feared That 1t May BE Superseded
10y one of Lighter Color.
1t would appear from IL of their
trade organs that tailors are becoming u
little anxious about the prospects of the
black coat OF civilization. They fear it
is III danger of being superseded by a
garment of lighter hue, if not of varie.
gated pattern. Perhaps, if they were to
give voice to their deeper apprehensions,
they would say that there was more at
stake than the black coat. There can, at
any rate, be little doubt, whether the
tailors are willing to admit it or not,
that with the fate of the black coat is
bound up that of the black Waistcoat.
Whether the two have been lovely and
pleasant III their lives is IL matter of
opinion, but we feel sure that III death
they would not be divided.
We mean no disrespcct to the vest in
describing 1t as Il parasite of the o
1t is IL humble dependant which has
only found its way into society under
the wing Of its influential patron, to
whom it adhCrCs with single breasted
fidelity, rewarded on the other side by
III attachment which is rarely broken
save for Il short period during the sum-
mcr months.
The trousers, it is true, are connected
with the two upper garments by no such
feudal tie, but their own union is com.
plctc and, except i'll very hot weather,
indissoluhlc. Hence, the moro farsight-
ed tailoIs no doubt perceive clearly
enough that if the black coat goes we
shall be within measurable distance of
the tweed suit Nor are there want
ing those who would do their best to
accelerate the catastrophe.
Animated by the restless spirit of the
age, its impaticnce of sobritty and its
thirst for change and color in costume,
as in life. there is il school of so called
reformcrs who are cndcavor.rg to urge
the woarers of black coats to revolt. Let
them give free play, cxclaim these an
arChistic counsclors, to their taste in
checks and stripes and they will be
able to cut Il far more picturesque figure
at Il far smaller annual outlay. With the
outlay, Of course, the public is not on
cerncd, though that matter, doubtless,
Is not without its interest for the ~tailOrs,

bious results by those little bands of
vocal and instrumental artists, gener-
ally SIX Or eight i'll number, who are
usually to be net with at race meetings
or on the sands ut popular seaside re-
sorts. These pioneers of dress reform
nave entirely discarded the black coat,
prcferring II of gaycr color, with no
ticeably elongated tails, and the free
dom with which they indulge their taste
in checks and stripes may almost be said
to border upon license. Yet the effect,
even with the addition of an open shirt
collar of Elizbethan proportions, II cork
ed face and Il banjo cannot be described
as entirely picturesque London Tele.
