becomes evident 10 the observer that nearly an men
are neatly dressed and that the loud" hack

mery sprukled literally through an large assem-
hages of men are infrequeut
The fashions are usually tho composite pro

What becomes OF the last years goods" is
asked.
They arc sold to tho people who live beyond tho
metropolitan limits and who care less about styles
than the Nvw-York men.
For years the tendency to neatness and modera-
tion has been noticeable. Fashions which leaned
toward the extreme have been launched on the
market, hut have been vetoed by the public and
the consequence has been that the American has
become known as the best dressed man in the
world
THE Englishman would keep up with us said
a New-York tailor. If he had the heart 10 give
away or discard a suit of clothes while there is
enough OF n 10 wear But he has not. and Tor that
reason ne wears a long coat when short ones are
fashionable and tight trousers when the balloon
style is top our people get lots Of clothes, and
that is reason why they keep up with the
procession"
Tailors also agree that there IS no country where
men make their own styles much they do
in the United States The materials put be
fore them by the manufacturers after "feelers"
have been sent 10 the market but the styles as
presented 10 them 10y the fashion makers are in
many instances only guides. OF course, there are
men who would not dare 20 short coat
II long one was prescribed, even If they were
short Of stature. But they are not desirable Gus
TONERS for merchant taiOrs. because the ridicu-
lous appearance OF the man is not charged 10 his
foolish anxiety TO be in style hut 10 the tailor
who would turn out the il-hecoming garment.
When radical changes are made the well informed
tailor becomes the friend and guide OF the pur-
chaser. He knows whether the evening waistcoat

coat will be a cutaway or a frock. and what
changes. II any, have been made in the Conyen-
