SHEATH TROUSERS.
They Are Describes and TnsiS
Wearing denounced.

VCdii'S lCNOuICGQ.
You men who Near pants, there's u
surprise in store for You. The folks
who make the fashions KEEP, the wc-
men busy last spring with THE
sheath skirt Now its your turn and
you must face the crisis like men.
Put your hand over your heart and
prepare for the blow
The sheath trousers have arrived.
The sheath trousers have been de-
creed by the tailors who decide what
the ultra-ultra fashionable man must
wear, and the people who dress
thIee times day and order dozen
assorted suits made at one time may
as well prepare to stick out their
legs and wear EN-. Call the valet.
James, tell the tailor to send up
half a dozen pair of sheath trousers.
4aas, that's all foc the present."
Then when You get them you Will
find they are real STARTERS. For the
tailors thus describe the sheath
pants:
The leg seams are on the outside:
instead OF running down to the bot
tom they will stop at the knee and be
laced from that point on For those,
VINO are OF more retiring natures the
seam is not open to expose the calf
Of the leg, bat is formed into a piait.
Then there are the new pajamas
with molher-of-pearl buttons and
beading with any delicate shade of
baby ribbon-pink being preferred by
the ultra-exclusive ones"
But the new pajamas can wait until
niSht; We are now discussing the
sheath trousers. Judging from the
description they must be fine for the
fellow who is anxious to display his
sturdy undeypinning and who wants
people to know that it is genuine.
But will they not work a hardship
upon many a man of brain power and
achievement. but who does not run to
legs. Is it not putting the premium
on the wrong end, so to speak
Any one who frequents the seaside
resorts and watches the bathers dis
porting themselves in the Disguised
ocean realizes that all men are not
formed like the heroes in popular
novels Many a man who is a good
citizen and taxpayer is not designed
on the model of a Greek god There
fore, this innovation of the tailors is
not likely to prove popular. Those
who have watched the Scotch kilties
costume-the one example of which
in the civilized world is worn by the
honorable shepherd of Druid Hill
Park-wil at once see the embar-
easements of the new-fangIed clothes.
The sheath trousers may be all
right: there are doubtless men who
can wear 'em without blushing But
as for us. we are resolved to stick to
the grand old Andrew Jackson-Abra-
ham Lincoln pants-the pants that
stood up with Webster and marched
with Lee and Grant. Let no hostile
hand tear them down. Here's to the
old-time pants of America; long may
they wave.-Baltimore Sun.
