MEMS COSTUMES.
The Change That Came When Powosr
and Snuff Went Out.


The French revolution had its effect
upon the fashions of 1900 as well as
upon matters of more weighty import,
the tendency being greatly to simplify
costumes. Young men in England
adopted the short coat light waist
coat and pantaloons inaugurated in
Paris by a certain set who affected to
despise the old court fashion.
The use of powder, made more ex-
pensive by taxation, quite died out, and
short hair became universal.
Trousers and Wellington boots, at
first worn only by the military, were
adopted by civilians about 1914, and
the dandy of the early Victorian era
wore his tightly strapped down. He
also prided himself on his starched
collar, which had gone out of favor
under George ", who preferred
black silk kerchief or stock.
The snuffbox vanished, and the char
acteristic ornament of the age was the
bunch of seals hanging from the watch
chain. Various notifications took
place from time to time during Queen
Victoria's long reign, but the form of
mems dress practically remained I'M
altered.
The knickerbockers and tweed suit
of the country gentleman are of COM
paratively modern date, as well as the
wide awake, the soft felt hat.-Eng-
