According to some of the best known
makers of good clothes, who are ia
miliar with conditions throughout the
country, the Norfolk is coming into
great favor, and will be worn during
the coming season more generally than
ever before. These are to be made up
with three buttons and the soft roll
effect. Some will carry a belt all the
way around the waist, but for the
most part they will have a demi-belt
extending from side seam to side seam
in the back. In these the most popu-
lar color is a blue-gray; they will be
worn largely for motoring, golf and
all outdoor sports. Made up from
fancy serges and worsteds, in stripes
and figures, the Norfolk is a most at

practically every outdoor function.
The ordinary business, or sack coat,

three buttons, and fve-button vests to
match. The latter will not be SO high
cut as heretofore, and after the winter
season is past it will no longer be con-
above the coat-opening when the top
button of the coat is buttoned, except
| when the coat has the soft roll front.
The vest will carry five buttons, and
the opening will be wider than the
present style demands.
A nice coat for younger men is Of
conservative cut and pattern OF dark
gray, brown or blue, with the edges
bound. This coat carries four but
tons, two side pockets with flaps to go
in or out, and a welted breast pocket
The vest is of the same material, also
and an inverted "V' at the bottom.
Another coat that will no doubt find
many admirers among men OF all ages
is a double-breasted, form-htting gar
ment with three buttons; this will be
made up in all colors and shades, with
one, two and three buttons on the
cuff. With 1t should be worn a six
button vest, collarless-that is, when
vest is worn; the coat itself is well
adapted to be part of a two-piece suit
in warm weather, with trousers of the
same material and color, or of lighter
fabric and shade.
A blue serge form-ftting sack, with
three buttons will find many admirers.
With the soft-roll coat goes a vest

For those who do not care for the
Norfolk there will be provided a soft

tons and an inverted pleat back; these
are to be made of homespun, tweeds,
cassimeres and vicunas; although they
will have three buttons, only the mid
die one is supposed to be fastened.
These will be found very ''smart," and
will doubtless meet with welI-nigh uni

The dress overcoat, as usual, is to
be made, as a rule, from soft wor-

outing, fancy cheviots will have the
preference, though raglans and home
