The Correct Frock Coat.

Lambs wool is the favored material
this season for the frock coat It is cut
much the same as last season, save that
the waistline is more sharply defined
and the skirts are bit fuller. Only the
two lower coat buttons are fastened.
The Partially of many men for the morn
ing coat or semi-frock Is marked. Be-
sides black, there are Oxford and Cam
bridge grays and mixtures Of black and
gray with a faint pattern in the cloth.
To achieve the aspect correct the morn
ing coat or semi-frock must be curved to
the back, chest-roomy in front and have
shoulders that are trim. II braiding at
the edges is used it should be fiat.
Full Dress Collars.
The poke collar or the lap-front is
more betting for ceremonious evening
use than the wing. To be sure. either is
less convenient to wear. but most men
find compensation in the fact that it
looks both distinguished and distinctive
Fhe wing is in no sense a formal collar
and it's use can only be condoned on the
ground that the other two shapes cause
acute discomfort to the Wearer.
1t is usually the man who has occa-
sion to put on evening clothes only now
and then that grumbles at the stiffness of
notwithstanding collars. He who wears
them habitually finds that they really
ease the neck and give an agreeable tilt
to the chin. The matter of this particu-
lar collar or that is not an epochal one,
but the growing negligence in evening
dress and the seeming assumption that
every man may be a law unto himself
are not conducive to that simplicity and
uniformity endeared by custom and hal
lowed by tradition.
Waistcoats and Derbies.
A very chic afternoon waistcoat is
fashioned of buff and pique with broad
pointed lapels that overlap. All waist
coats are cut this season so as to cling
to the figure and arch over the hips.
The back buckle is dispensed with now,
and, indeed. it was always awkward.
hindering far more than it helped. There
is tendency to abandon the fiat Ascot
with ends evenly crossed in favor Of the
old Ascot with a protruding knot. One
of the London bootmakers has reintro-
boots, but save for men below the nor
NAL stature 1t is too effeminate looking
to be generally acceptable.
Gray derbies do not go i'll with gray
morning suits. though, Of course, the
fashion is an ultra one. Add to this
black patent leather boots with gray up
pers and gray reindeer gloves, and the
wearer cuts a dashing, IL daring, figure.
This attempt to have the small articles
of ones dress match precisely in shade
is difficult to carry out successfully un-
less a man have unerrfng taste. Some
contrast is desirable, and what may be
called monotone effect is very apt
to be simply monOtonous.

BROTHERS
FIGHT OVER
PRETTY GIRL

Two brothers. Ignatz and Andy Ko-
bert. both OF whom are employed at
the Republic. East Chicago, fought
bloody mill yesterday in an open space
near 15eth street, midway between the
switches on which Red line cars pass
each other on their way between East
Chicago and Hammond.
And it was all for the love of pretty
South Chicago lass. The name of the
girl could not be learned, but it is
known that the two brothers are both
in love with the same girl who Is de-
scribed as of petite figure. with auburn
hair, a complexion as of lilies and wild
roses blended, and eyes S brown as the
chestnut
The brothers had no intention of
making known the fact of their duel.
for duel it was. but were discovered
by a friend. John Martzen. also friend
of the girl and resident of South Chi
cago. Martzen was riding by on Red
line car, when his attention was at
tracted to the fight between the two
men. The latter had not realized that
they were within view of the street
cars, having begun their quarrel back
of clump of underbrush. But as the
battle became more furious foot by
1901 lneN edged tuelI way INTO open
space where they were distinctly visi-
BILE to the passengers of passing cars.
Martzen was standing on the back
platform of one of these cars, when his
eye was attracted to the struggle He
like fair fight himself. and swung off
the car in order to lose none of the
fine points of the sport What was his
surprise to find upon reaching the spot
that the men engaged in the bitter
conflict were his friends-the Robert
boys.
The appearance of the intruder for a
moment disconnected the beiligerents,
but when they recognized Martzen, they
resumed their pummelling of each other
as though nothing had happened When
both boys were on the point of ex-
haustion Martzen called time.
Call if off now. boys said he. "adn
go to it when you feel like it again."
The brothers took his advice
After they had their wind. Martzen
asked them what it was all about. The
question all but had the effect of pre-
cipitating another row, but their friend
finally persuaded them to cut ii out al
together or at least to await a more
favorable opportunity, a human form
that might or might not have been that
of a policeman just then hove in sight
Andy declined TO say what the fight
was over. but Ignatz sullenly volun-
teered the suggestion You know ths
girl" and a great light burst upon Johr
Martzen.
