chest exaggeration. Cheviots and
woods will outnumber the worsteds two
to one this winter. Double breasted
sacks are also coming in again, and
are likely to be quite popular by the
time real cold weather sets in.
There seems to be a general demand
throughout the country for a narrow
shouldered coat; this demand did not
exist last year, but is making itself
more and more apparent as the fall
season advances. This undoubtedly
accounts for the abandonment of the
padded shoulder that sought to make
Reggy and Percy look like real ath-
letes, don't-ye-know?
While speaking Of the frock coat

in popular demand. with it should be

groomed men wear them to business.
Others keep one at the ONCE and don
IT when they assume the duties OF the
day. The Norfolk also makes an ex-
cellent lounging coat to wear around
the house, in the library, smoking or
billiard room. This fall the Norfolk
will be made principally from q cheviot
in fancy patterns.
Vests this fall will show a general
tendency to a high cut-high enough
to be visibles above the lapel when
the coat is buttoned. Vests are made
for the coming season without collars.

Opinions seem to differ as to the de-
mand for fancy vests. A few houses

to push them. and report that they are
meeting with great success In this
line; but the trade in general seems
to have little use for them.

long time past. The cur at the
bottom OF the legs will be noticeable
only by its absence. and the trousers
will reach to the heels.

mands them, and they will be worn
again-rough, shaggy stuff. and at the
end of the season you will find chin
chillas very popular. l really believe
that the merchant who plunges on
them will be left; great many will
be worn, but there will be consider
able dissatisfaction. Many manufac-
turers are experimenting with this
kind of coat; but in my judgment
there are only three or four manufac-
turn out a really good chinchilla.
These sell from $50 up. These coats
will be seen in blues, greys and olive
brown.
AS to raglans, the same authority
declared: THE raglan has almost
seen its last day here. I believe it
will die as quickly as it did eight or
nine years ago, when it practically
died overnight. In fact, when in Eu-
rope the only raglans I saw were old
ones, that the owners were evidently
trying to wear out. 1 saw more In
Berlin than in London, and none at

A comfortable garment for fall wear
is box coat, with shawl collar and

winter wear. There are so many diff.

difficult to describe them: but as a

lapel, SO1s or 311a inches in length,

Very slight demand for the frock.
or cutaway, is anticipated, although in
suburban or rural localities, where
formal dress is seldom worn, the cut
away is always proper for. semi-formal
functions, and in most cases forms a
becoming garment. The fall and win
ter frocks carry three buttons, only
one Of which is supposed to be fast
ened, the edge Of the coat rounding
with a graceful curve from the centre
of the chest to the bottom of the
garment, which, from collar to end, is
about 35 inches in length.
A popular overcoat for the coming
season will be a short, belted garment,
with a pleat in the back, reaching
barely to the knee. In spite Of the
crusade made against them last year,
chinchillas are coming back into the
public favor, and will be particularly
noticeable in a long, double-breasted
coat.

as American, or perhaps cosmopolitan

for men will be cut to fit, well bal

Change of Heart
By DONALD ALLEN

The family of Judge Winters had
known the family of Colonel Bellaire
for years and years. That meant that
Fred Bellaire and Agnes Winters had
known each other as boy and girl
The fathers hadn't settled it over
their wine and cigars that there
should be marriage. In fact, the
two young people didn't take to each
other very well. 1t was only in after
years, when Fred had finished college
and Miss Winters was in society, that
there was any feeling stronger than
acquaintanceship.
1t was not necessary that young
Bellaire should choose a profession
He had been left money, and he
drifted along as other rich young
men do-the clubs-travel-Newp
golf-autoing and the races. And
in the intervals he spent his time ad
miring Agnes Winters and falling in
love with her. On her side, she liked
him but she had no stronger feeling
She was a bit of prude and had old
fashioned notions.
He would have stood better in her
estimation had she found him with a
