STYLES in COATS.
Origin of the Cutaway Frock, tho
Sack and the Dress Coat.

The modern cutaway sprang from
the body fitting justaucorps Of the
French as known to the courtiers Of
Louis XIV. and Louis XIV, and the gar
ment was in turn probably evolved
from the frock or tunic worn in the
fourteenth century.
The first trace of a cutaway in any
thing like it's present form, says the
Sartorial Art Journal, is seen in old
prints Of French military uniforms,
early in the eighteenth century For
civilian use it was worn in England
about 1855 as a riding coat, the tails
being very long. In 1898 it was adopt
riding and was then in shape and cut
much nearer the modern cutaway than
any of its predecessors, though it was
usually double breasted.
Early in the nineteenth century the
cutaway had eight or nine buttons,
only the fourth fifth and sixth being
used. This admitted Of the wearer
showing his neckcloth, fancy waist
coat and fiilled shirt to the best adj
vantage. Not till 1910 or thereabout
did the cutaway become almost identi-
cal with the modern garment and since
then the changes in its shape have
been comparatively slight. In 1871 the
word 'cutaway'' became a fixture in
the language
The old colonial uniform worn by
Washington, with it's flaps buttoned
back; the coat worn by Nelson at the
| battles of st. Vincent, the Nile and
Trafalgar, and the coat worn by Napo-
leon when on his way to st. Helena
were all in a general way similar to
the cutaway frock.
The conventional dress coat of our
time is refined younger brother, so
to speak, Of the cutaway frock, and
for it we are indebted to the French.
who on the other hand credit the Eng
fish with originating the coat that has
evolved into our double breasted frock.
The coat last named was introduced
into France by Montesquieu in the
year 1850.
incidentally, we may add, the pres
ent black dress coat has by the Eng
llsh speaking nations been restricted to
evening wear little more than half a
century. In some continental coun-
tries the dress coat is proper FORM
for wear at court or other important
formal assemblages held in the day
time.
The sack coat probably dates from
the "Macaronies," who introduced it
into England in 1872, though a gar
ment somewhat similar was worn by
the Roundheads of CromwelHs day.

LITTLE JACK. HORNER.
Only an Up to Date "Grafter'' In til
Days OF King Hal.


.... Days OF King Hal.
The origin of the pOetical jingles
known as nursery ballads is in some
few cases well known. Thus ''the fine
lady with rings on her fingers and
bells on her toes" refers to the pilgrim
age of the queen consort of one of the
English kings passing through Ban
bury, where cross was set up to mark
her nights resting place, and ending
at Charing Cross.
The ballad Of Little Jack Homer
is based on the following facts: In the
time of Henry VIII, Immediately after
his breach with the pope, commission
ers were sent throughout the country
to seize the church lands.
One Of the commissioners sent into
the west of England, that portion re-
ferred to in kingsley's westward

the benefit of King Hal, managed to
grab a considerable slice for himself

And Young Wives, 1t Is Gained, Re-

Strange Statistics" said an insur-
ness.
Il have found that the more times a

with himself he wants his wife to be,
For instance, his first wife on the aver
age is four years younger than he. His
second is ten His third is twenty or
thirty.
what do these statistics prove? Do
they prove that as a man gains in
years and experience he finds that it
is best, for many reasons, to be almost
as old as his wifes father, or do they
only prove that as men approach old
age they are more foolish than they
were in youth?
"Old n, aged seventy, with a third
wife of twenty three, said on this head
the other day:
You can't marry girl too young.
The younger she is the longer she'll
keep her health and strength and

"They make these old fellows dress
