lie as Il was last fall. In coats, the peaked
lapel style will be the best form. The one
piece in front will remain in favor. While
a double-breasted waistcoat will not violate
the canons Of good taste, the singie-breasted
style will continue, as OF late, to be worn
almost by everyone. In trousers there will
be slight tendency toward narrower legs.

The one coat for formal day dress against

coat will be lighter in effect than last fall.
The waist length will be an inch and three

peak and the width will be liberal except

cunas will be the proper materials.
The waistcoat may be single or double
breasted as desire may dictate. and with
or without a collar. The single-breas ted,
no-collar style will be worn the most how
ever. The single-breasted waistcoat should
| average twenty-six inches in length, close
| with five buttons and should have moder-

cheviots are permissible, both in modest
stripes.
The cutaway frock made from the same
materials as the double-breasted frock Is
the leading half dress garment. The cut
away frock for the coming season is fash
toned in the same waist length as the
double-breasted frock 1t will be from
three to four inches longer than one-half
the wearers height. There will be two
distinct styles in this garment. the more
novel having peaked lapels, fiat-braided
edges and imitation cuffs. The other style,
which, being more conservative, will meet
with more general favor, will have the
usual down-slanted lapel tops. stitched
edges and vented cuffs. The waistcoat and
trousers will be the same as for day dress.
Business and LounRinE.
The business cutaway frock. which so
often masquerades under the guise OF its
day semi-dress brother, the cutaway frock,
is a little longer in the waist than its half
brother, the cutaway frock, but the full
length will be the same. The skirts will
be less cut away and the edge and seam
stitching wider. So long as the cutaway
frock has hip pocket flags, II can never
pass muster for semi-dress, even though 1t
be made Of the materials allotted to the
latter garb. Nevertheless, many well
dressed men are making the business cuta-
way serve the purpose Of the semi-dress

The staple for business and lounge wear,
the sack suit, will have a large range Of
styles. and in these garments more than
any Of the others will each tailor ina way
have q style OF his own. The average
length Of the single-breasted sack for the
man of average height will be from 80 to IS
inches. The double-breasted coat will be
bit longer. The side fulness at the bottom
! in both styles will be marked The double
breasted sack will, for the most part, close
with three buttons, the lapels will be wide
and considerably peaked and the collar will
be one-half as wide as the lapels.
The three button cutaway will be the
leading style in the single breasted sack.
The fronts will be cut away nearly half
way TO the center Of the leg and will turn
into the bottom with round ranging from
bIunted point almost to a sweep. The
lapels will he down slanted, as a rule and
oftentimes will be either squared or
slightly peaked.
The four button cutaway-more becoming
to tall men-win be finished like the

The waistcoat for any sack suit must be
without a collar It maybe single or
double breasted and either of the Same
material as the suit or Of fancy fabrics.
The trousers for sack suits will be a bit
