dictum in the ethics of correct mcn's dress for the coming winter has just been sent forth, and any young man who appears arrayed dis tinctvely from his fellow man is 10 lose caste.
 And To. the day oi the squeeze-me- tight coat has passed l,agsy trous- CTS are also banned, though cuffs will be tolerated for anotaer season.
 Woe be unto him that goes forth styled in dress particularly to his own liking. There will be no swatChes cut, for all Beau Brunmels of the city must attire themselves as fash ion decrees, lest they stretch the law of mems fashion
 The following dictum is what must guide you in four fall selections:
 "Mcdium length and medium close medium number of buttons 10 the fronts, three Eelng the combination most favored for sacks, reefers and Norfloks, as well as for frocks and cutaways. Collars are decidedly short, this being one of the special features of the seasons styles; but they are of medium width, as also are the lapels, which medium, j tco. in length and rol.
 denter Seam at Back.
 Now that the flare of skirtiness is no longer a feature of the sack coat, most of them are made with d center seam at the back. The narrower lap els have brought back to popularity the outside breast pocket in sack coats and cutaways, while the gradual disappearance in high class trade of braided edges from the cutaway will encourage the introduction of pock cts in the plaits of the skirts instead of on the hips.
 '"Trousers should be made without cuffs or permanent turn-up except for sporting or country wear, though 1 this feature is likely to continue in fla vor with younger men. Both as re- gards width and length of leg the happy medium again applies.

 With the black frock coat a waistcoat of same material is some times worn, this being more often the case when the trousers are of some light stripe of other fancy pat terms. A fancy waistcoat, however, is always in keeping with the frock coat but it must be dressy without being loud.
