mans figure than the frock. The lat
ter are smart on corpulent men; but
when one is possessed Of good figure,
he much prefers wearing the morning
or cutaway coat
For semi-formal wear, the double
breasted frock has not yet been dis
placed, nor is It likely to be for many
seasons. In fact, it Is coming into it's
own again to greater degree this
winter than for several seasons past.
Men Of middle age and past Will wear
it more than ever. During the Coro-
nation period this coat and the black
silk hat were more In evidence in
London than for several years before

together. The roll is quite soft to the
first button. Only the second button
OF this coat is designed to button

largely FOR business wear. It will be
of medium length-about 80 inches
moderately form-ftting, a vent In the
centre seam, with regulation pockets
with flaps to go In or out. This coat
has three buttons, and is cut at slight
angle from the bottom button to the
bottom Of the garment, with slightly
rounded corners The sleeves will have
either real or simulated cuffs with
three buttons. The vest, Of the same
material as the coat, will carry five
buttons, and will appear nearly an
inch above the coat opening. The
morning coat, or GETAWAY, as it is better
known. is popular with a certain ele.
ment, especially among professional
men who do not care to wear the dou-
ble-breasted frock-the Prince Albert
during business hours. This coat
Will also be largely in evidence for
afternoon wear.
The former habit Of appearing IN
the afternoon, at any sort Of function,
no matter how informal, In q sack on
lounge suit, has practically disap-
peared. It was due partly to careless
ness and partly to want Of knowi-
edge as to the demands Of propriety.
But the American public is now so
widely informed as to these things,

be buttoned. There n positively no
excuse for a chain hole.
Trousers will be q little more On
the order Of the pegged top for the
coming season. They should taper
nicely to the bottom, and care should
De taken to see that the back Of the
trousers come within an inch Of the
ground They should not bag nor bulge
over the front Of the boot, which
means that there should be a good
slope In the cut. Raised side seams
Of the wide type are fashionable.
There Is a decided revival Of the
demand for striped effects In the
darker shades for the coming season,
as these designs are more adapted for
autumn and winter. These new effects
are heavier looking than the old style,
and, In many instances. there Is a
very distant double stripe which gives
the cloth a most pronounced appear
ance. The popular shades WIN be
brown, green and gray.
The indications are that heavier
cloth win be quite fashionable for
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-09-09

The buttons are not silk-covered, but
are Of bone, black Of course. Some
Of these coats Will be shown, espe-
cially among the custom trade, with
double-breasted lapel with soft roll i;
but this style will be the exception
and not the rule.
The sleeves are finished with four
buttons close together, and real Gun :
they are cut very Harrow, 10 or 123a
inches at the outside, and short
enough In length to show at least Y
inch OF the starched shirt cun. The
buttons on the sleeve must button
through, with worked button-holes.
This coat Is very waisty, or form
fitting, and Is usually worn buttoned.
The tendency to button the waist
coat high has been somewhat modified
for the fall season. 1t must not be
cut too high nor too low, but at a
happy medium, and must be in a direct
line with the roll Of the coat The
waistcoat opening is moderate Y In
shape. Five buttons are correct for
coat cut not too long, and the last
button Of the waistcoat should never

that the former excuses no longer ex-
list, and the custom Is now thing Of
the past. Today, a man with social
pretensions, even Of the humblest,
feels entirely out Of place unless clad
In cutaway or frock in the social
centers Of the country, and this Is
especially true when he is In the COM
pany Of ladies. In other words, the
American now heeds the edicts Of
fashion, and appears properly &C
coutered for business and social en-
gagements.
For town clothes. certainly the most
popular of all Is the morning or cut
away coat. The correct morning suit
for the coming season will be a black
or dark gray coat, with waistcoat Of
the same material, and gray trousers
with a narrow stripe. II the coat Is
Of gray, the trousers should match. A
narrow strip Of black braid. set In 4
Of an inch from the edge Of both coat
and waistcoat, forms an attractive and
pleasing novelty. The braid II also
set on the pocket depe, the same dis
lance from the edge. The coat has q
weited breast pocket.
One Of the things which makes the
morning coat so popular Is the fact
that 1t is better suited to the average

the well-dressed man may
select the ''makings'' Of his
suit and overcoat. Rich, elegant wor-
steds, handsome cheviots, refined sax
onies, In most attractive weaves and
q riot OF color combinations. But the
latter are far from gaudy; general
tone Of quiet and refinement is every
where noticeable. AS usual, stripes
and diagonais form the principal pat
terms, but they do not stand out Wv
idly, nor are they broadly contrasting.
There are to be seen many ingenious
combinations that give the impression
Of small, neat effects, while diagonals
and shadow stripes vie with each other
for first place. Grays, as usual, are
In the lead in all color designs, the
lighter shades predominating, while
many very pleasing patterns are COM
posed of various combinations Of light
and dark shades. The choice Of men
who are never without dark blue
Tult has been consulted too; very dark
shades Of this standard color are to
be had In any Of the fabrics men,
toned. Browns will be very popular,
In several different shades, and with
Just hint of some other color, caused
by the introduction Of single thread
Of red, green, blue or purple silk.

suits. and viii no doubt be accepted
by men who never before wore any,
thing but black, blue or gray.
The influence of the English style
Of dress is strongly evident in the
styles prepared for the coming season;
without in the least surrendering his
independence, the American gentleman
appreciates the propriety of dress as
adopted by his brother across the pond,
for the Englishman insists upon being
properly and comfortably attired for
all occasions, both as to cut Of gar
ments and quality Of cloth used In
their making.
OF course, the designers have modi-
fed the English styles in a manner to
suit the marked personality of the
American. Another reason for this
modification is found in the fact that
here in America we have no such leis-
ure class as in England, despite dema-
gogic ranting about the idle rich"
The American business men lack the
opportunity, or the desire, to change
their attires as frequently as men who
have little else to do; therefore, the
clothes provided for Americans,
whether of custom make or s'ready-to-
wear" are built well, for wear as.

How William orion Got Appointment
For Tim campbeIl's Father and
How Roscoe conklIns Upheld
the Action.

In the informal political history of
the country the late Timothy d.
Campbell, state senator and congress
man from New York's East Side,
gained fame when he naively asked
President Cleveland, What's the Con-
stitution between friends?" In the
realm Of telegraphy the late William
Orton has niche as one of the great
presidents Of tho Western Union Tele-
graph company. Long after his other
deeds have been forgotten Roscoe
Conkling will be remembered as the
man whose hatred of James G. Blaine
caused the "Plumed Knight" to be
defeated for the presidency by Grover
Cleveland.
AT the time when Tim Campbell
was chairman of the committee on
civics at Albany" said Mr. Orion. "a
piece OF strike legislation affecting
the telegraph interests was introduced
In the legislature and had the support

the outcome of our efforts seemed
pretty dubious to US.

Secretary Of War Couldn't Understand
Great Emaneipator's Enjoyment Of

for Election Returns.

Charles A. Dana. who himself had
the keenest appreciation Of humor,
was one of the very few men asso-
ciated with President Lincoln In his
administration who understood per-
fectly why Lincoln frequently turned
to the peculiar humor Of Petroleum ".
Nasty, or rejoiced In the witticisms
Of Artemus Ward-humor that many
persons regarded as beneath the dig
nifty Of a president of the United
States to recognize. Mr.. Dana was
assistant secretary Of war in 1864.
Mr.. Dana used to say that for a man
who had such en- exquisite apprecia-
ton Of humor, Lincoln gathered
around him about as grim and sol
emn cabinet as any president ever
had. Secretary of State William H.
Seward possessed certain kind OF
humor and always viewed things in a
sunny light. But Secretary Of the
Treasury Salmon P. Chase. Gideon
Welles, secretary of the navy. and par.
dcularly Edwin M. Stanton, secretary
OF war, mad no more sense or appre-
citation of humor. Mr.. Dana used to
say. than a craven image. And Mr..
Dana once told me of most interest

Stanton's lack of sense of humor and
appreciation of the true character Of
Lincoln. Whether or not Mr.. Dana
himself ever printed the story l am
unable to say.

tai election day. 1854" said Mr.. Dana.
The telegraph Office IN the war de-
