CONCERNING COATS.
Hints In Regard to Wear and Care
of Garments.

Now that the overcoat season is on
again. said an uptown tailor in the
course of a conversation on the care OF
clothes zone sees the utter inability OF
the average man to properly wear ana
care for his garments. Jackets may De
worn ANYHOW without much detractlns
from their owners appearance, but over
coats, like frock coats, require care IN
handling and in wearing. Not one man
in a thousand know how to put on MS
coat correctly. Ignorance and careless
ness in disposing of the garment when
not in use make the wearers of even the
best coats look like 80 cents besides the
man with a cheaper article, but VINO
knows how to wear and care for it?
Men curse their tailors when after
few days wear they find their coats out
of shape at the shoulders and hanging
badly. The art of the tailor has, of
course. a great deal to do with the ap-
pearance of a coat, but on the customer
himself much more depends
.'Mcst men when they are being meas
ured and fitted assume all sorts OF un-
natural postGres. They forget that what
they really want is a garment to fit their
ordinary shape and not the forced tlg-
ure which they present to the tailor
Then. again, when the new coat comes
home the owner tugs it on anyhow and
wears it Tapping open. Every new coat
should he carefully modelled by the wear
er into the shape of his everyday figure.
He should get his shoulders well into it,
and In order to arrive at that result he
should have assistance on at least the
first six occasions on which he wears
the garment. The coat should be care
fully buttof1ed downward, not the reverse.
as is so often the case. For at least one
hour on each of the first six days Of use
the coat should be kept buttoned. It will
then have adjusted itself to the peculiari-
ties Of the figure."'-NewY York Times

POSTCARD CRAZE
OVER IN EUROPE.
1t Seems to Be Gaining Ground in
England and on the
Continent.

LONDON, Nov. l9-Joseph Y. O'Connor
sells us that the picture-postcard craze
seems steadily creeping into vogue in
England. The Shah succumbed to it be-
fore he left Paris. Most of the cards
used in England and the Continent
are printed in Germany, where they
have obtained q popularity that has be-
come a mania Everyone sends chem,
everyone receives them, and most people
collect them.
Booksellers display cards with hun
dreds OF different views. You cannot go
into the smallest village without seeing
for sale a postcard illustrating the chief
features of the loca4.-y. Cyclists send to
their friends cards illustrating the beau
ties OF every little place they pass
through. If you so up a high mountain
or cross a glacier, you can buy iliustrat-
ed cards On request the stamp is Off
,iaIly obliterated, and the card stamped
with the name and height OF the noun
tain. Go down salt mine and It's yicini-
ty. You cannot enter ''bier-garten'
without seeing tourists scribbiing on pic
ture postcards. These they hand round
for signature TO their friends or 10 fell
aow-tourists whom they have met in the
rain.
The German Trans Atlantic steamers
have cards that are posted on board and
orWarceo on the vessels arrival in New
Fork. You find cards on your hotel table
and program sellers at the theatre. music
