Tias TmDortant.

During the last year or two jackets
and coats have opened lower in front
and hitherto this has been made the
oDDortnnity for displaying a fancy
Waistcoat. Now the tendency is to
nav more attention to the tie, 50 that
during the coming season the most
noticeable feature will not be the
vest but the neckwear. For some
wears ties have been extremely SIM
ple, a plain sailor knot or a simple
bow: but this fashion now promises
to be abolished in favor of large
and handsome cravat.
