Frocks Not in Favor.
Gray frock coats are not nearly so much
in favor this summer as they generally
have BEEN Perhaps this is because fashion
has rather set against the light grays which
look so we'll at garden party, and favored
rough-surfaced, rather hairy effects in dark
gray. Deprived of the light gracefulness OF
the pearl frock suit, most men would pre-
fer the strict full dress of black; and as
black coat is q trifie ponderous on young
man in the summer, the, morning coat has
received considerable, impetus. 1t Is cut
rather close at the waist and rather lower
in the same part than formerly but 1t mas

English Trouser Cut.
Trousers seem to have undergone de-
yelopment on your side latterly. l notice
| that young Americans visiting us just now
'wear those things so loose" Gas poor In
goldsby puts IT. that / wonder they have
| not had the courage to go ali the way and
| abandon the front crease. which certainly
| looks grotesque the worst way on pair
| of loose peg-toppy trousers such as | find
| my American friends importing so 1ar as
home fashions are concerned (and by nome
fashion 1, of course, mean English fash1ou)
we should seem to be at the beginning of a
movement which you have carried consid-
cradle way along, but which l do not think
we shall develop any further We cut
trousers snug to the ankle and loose over
| the thighs (they are shaped close enough
/ to avoid all baggineSS at the seaO; but the
| whole leg is carefully shaped, so that there
! is no g-tOp effect produced, and the gar
ment does not lose lOTIn Consequently VIC
| retain the trouser crease with an impu-
| nifty which can hardly be said to extend to
| the present American outing trouser cut.
Long Waistcoats.
Long observation-disclosures to come well
down over the thighs, like the spacious
waistcoats Of the DR.. Johnson age-are
| talked of by the quidnuncs just now,
| though there is no more foundation for all
| this talk than the fact that the tendency
| to run jackets for golf rather long has
| brought the question Of length into the
| air; but most men are having little more
| length given to their new waistcoats. The
| tendency is certainly at present against
any further development of this; what will
eventually happen cannot as yet be fore
seen but Immediately 1 think that while
waistcoats will be shade longer than re-
Gently they will not be quite so long as
| those made in the first blush Of the length
ening movement. My reason for this
| opinion is that I notice men who have
| taken up the new length seem to find 1t
necessary, in order to avoid crease across
| the bottom Of the garment, to wear the
| last button undone Now there is very
| little chance Of that silly and untidy habit
| being generally revived: but II we went to
the length of a Sir Roger de Coverley
| waistcoat. 1t Is not one but three or four
| buttons which would have to neglect their
| function, and l cannot believe that this
would be liked.
Inc FLOCK Overcoat.
| Some Misrepresentation appears to exist In
| America as to the proper function Of the
| frock overcoat This Is now exclusively

Collars and Ties.
Wing collars continue % develop some

| Is little difficult to explain this collar In
words alone without a picture. 1t is worn

| the huge. round-pointed wings are bent to
a sort of basin shape for the top of the puff
to rest In. The effect is original rather

put on the market of which 1t can only be
said that 1t Is calculated to make the ju-
