mans figure than the frock. The lat
ter are smart on corpulent men but
when one is possessed Of a good figure,
he much prefers wearing the morning
or cutaway coat.
For semi-formal wear, the double
breasted frock has not vet been dis
placed, nor is it likely to be for many
seasons. In fact. it is coming into its
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 ;
the most prominent tailors Of the
West End, in the English metropolis,
predict that they will be fully as pop
ular, if not more SO, from now until
next spring.
For the coming season the morn
ing or cutaway coat will be made to
roll, with three buttons, set in closely
together. The roll is quite soft to the
first button. Only the second button
of this coat is designed to button.

be buttoned. There il positively no
excuse for a chain hole.
Trousers will be a little more on
the order OF the pegged top for the
coming season. They should taper
nicely to the bottom, and care should
be 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 good
slope in the cut. Raised side seams
Of the wide type are fashionable.
There is 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 will be
brown, green and gray.
The indications are that heavier
cloth will be quite fashionable for

GOTHAM BOYS HELD

New York. Sept. 2o.-Two ten-year
old New York boys who disappeared
mysteriously from their Bronx homes
two days ago are back with their par

Of fine fabrics from which

steds, handsome cheviots, refined sax
onies, in most attractive weaves and
riot of color combinations. But the
after are far from gaudy; general
tone Of quiet and refinement is every
where noticeable. As usual, stripes
and diagonals form the principal pat
terms, but they do not stand out WV
Idly. nor are they broadly contrasting.
There are to he seen many ingenious
combinations that give the impression
Of small. neat effects, while diagonals
and shadow stripes vie with each other
Tor first place. Grays, as usual, are
IN the lead In all color designs, the
lighter shades predominntins. while
many very pleasing patterns are COM
posed Of various combinations Of light
and dark shades. The choice Of men
who are never without q dark blue
suit 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 a single thread
Of red. green. blue or purple silk.
These make up into decidedly nobby
suits. and will no doubt be accepted
by men who never before wore any
thing but black, blue or gray.
Tho influence of the English style
of dress is strongly evident in the
styles prepared for the coming season !;
without in the least surrendering his

appreciates the propriety OF dress as

for tho Englishman insists upon being

all occasions, both a. to cut Of gar.

DIR. Massey's theory is to burn the
spread of the disease. In order to do
this he employs strong electric cur
rent applied to the affected part
through steel needles dipped in zinc.
The zinc undergoes change when
the electric current is applied, and
emits chemical that destroys the
part to which it is applied. This
leaves nothing but burn to be cur

the water. The ocean is certainly
grand. 1t makes the power of God
seem so much greater when we see
more of His wonderful creation.

lazy life but suppose we will have
plenty of chance to make up for 1t

I suppose you are having quite warm
weather these days. wish you
could enjoy some Of the cool sea
breezes, which we are enjoying. We
have spent a great deal of our time
on deck sitting in our steamer chairs
enveloped in our steamer rugs Some
times we sleep or sing, or read or

weeks of water, yet l do not dread
