THE BLOUSE BELT IS NEW.
It is & Girdle with a Buckle at One
 Side.

New ideas are as plentiful as spring flowers. A very new thing is the blouse belt. This consists of a wide girdle of black satin. It is fastened with a bril- liant buckle which Is hooked at one side. Upon the other side there is an other buckle to match. The idea is that with a blouse waist, all baggy in front. the buckle is hidden and the proper place for it. therefore. is upon the side.
 The blouse girdle is pulled down in front and fastened with a pretty pin, while the back is rolled as small and as round as possible. the object being to se- cure length in front and that smart look at the back which is necessary. if one would be well Eowned.

Go in Much for Style.

Thirty years ago no man was ever seen in the streets of Oxford after lunch con without being dressed he would have been in Pail Mall, Tail coats were sometimes worn in those days in the morning, and the last men still wear cut aways. But the correct thing for the quiet gentlemanly undergraduate was a black frock coat and tall hat, with the neatest of gloves and boots, and in this costume he went out for his country walk, the admired of all beholders as he passed through Hinksey or Headington Tn the same dress he usually went into hall and appeared at wine parties; though now, I believe, shooting jackets of all patterns, in which it Is not given to every man to look like a gentleman. have taken the place of this decorous garb in which every one looked well. This change alone Is one that makes considerable difference in the outward aspect of un- dergraduate life at Oxford, to one who remembers what it was.
