New Riding Brooches.
l am very glad TO see that the smart
teilors are experimenting on new riding
breeches. The idea seems 10 be TO ger

time as well adapted to the purpose as he

say, however. that the new style sent over
from england is, so far as appearances go.

coat designed for wear at the races and
ior driving, as well as for wear at Informal
lawn parties and country visiting during
the open season, has been introduced with
great deal OF success by two or three
avenue tailors. This coat IS a single-breast-

A New suiting.
A new cloth has come out from England.
and, like everything that the LOYAL British
ers send out this year Il is called Corona

black and white. and red and black effects
In worsted weaves. 1t makes a very nice
suiting and is a decided relief from the
grays and browns. The new effects also
come In tweeds and cheviots in ground
weaves, stripes and overchecks Another
lot of new cloths show pin-head effects i'm
black and white. These are also in very
fine stripes.

made with the turn up on the trousers
There is a reason for this which cannot
well be avoided. The trousers being he

with belt, must be made so that they will
not touch the ground when the trousers are
