one Of his men over and asked him to
try on a certain suit so that might be
able to see more readily its features.
1t was full.dress suit and one that
think will appeal to the younger
fellows than to the older men. The
collar of the coat was unusually tigl
fitting and quite narrow while the
lapcls we're very wide forming a Strik
ing contrast. The coat was high waist

look long.legged. The trousers were
cut full, even more so than usual.
The third garment he showed me was

form-ftting model-extremely tight in
appearance yet the wearer seemed to
have plenty of room. There were two
rows Of large buttons down the front,
giving it a strikingly "classy" effect.

blue, the blue being more in evidence.

to look through his stock if / though
there were any points that | could picl
up that would be of, benefit to me in
preparing my article.
The main points that / gathered by
a rather hurried.inspection was that
everything was made soft, that
trousers were trifle wider but not as
full by any means as those Of about
five years ago, that the vests were cut
very low, and by the way there were
many double. breasted waisteoats.
The colorings and patterns were very
similar to those of last seasons. There

The Powells were too discouraged, their
inspiration was too far gone for them
to show animation even in the narration
of their sufferings and privatiOn.
Powell, employed as a mill-hand re,
ceived $3.50 day, big wage for the
Powell family and thousands of other
such families in the south where negro
labor is cheap. But he was "subject
to the fortunes of the industry" and
work therefore was not steady. Some
times he would present himself in the
morning eager for work and after
awaiting the pleasure of the foreman
would be told there was "nothing do
ing that day. At other times notices
were posted and read aloud to him and
his fellow workers that work would
be stopped for several days, even weeks.
The Powells were unable to save mon.
ey.
One day a notice was posted that the
plant had been abandoned and that no
further labor would be required.
The Powells decided it were better to
move and spar with starvation on the
road than to stay where they were and
face it as a certainty. They moved,
carrying their few miserable possessions
with them and taking turns at "tot-

continued. Powell was weak and EN-.

ployment but he managed to earn food
for his road party as they went along.

shown to a great extent in novelty

About 4 o o'clock left the store where
my friend is employed, with many more
valuable style hints than | thought |
would be able to get He discouraged
me somewhat at first but | gathered
much food for thought in his establish
ment.
The next day took the suggestion Of
my good friend and visited several
wholesale elothiers and custom tailors.
l stopped first at a very large manu-
featuring concern that eaters almost en-.
tirely to young men, But before going
into detail about what ] saw there |
should like to describe the clothes of a
man ] saw on my way down town.
He was an elderly gentleman, about
GO years of age, should say, and very
prosperous looking. He wore a single
breasted frock coat, one.buttOn style
with wide but short rolling lapels. The
coat was made of grey and black mix
ture vicuna and the trousers were black
with silver pin lines. His waistcoat was
of white serge, low cut and single
breasted. His scarf was black and he
wore an inconspicuous diamond stick
pin. His appearance as a whole was ex-
eeedingly neat and dignified.
Now getting back to what saw at
the young men s clothes manufacturers
that morning let me first describe the
double breasted business suit l was
shown. The coat was very form. fitting,
quite long and had deep vent in back.
The shoulders were entirely unpadded
and the lapels were wide and short. The
vest had five buttons, rolling lapels
and was cut low The trousers were mar.
row and had permanent cuffs Of about
one'half inch This suit came in salt
and pepper mixture of red and tan, the
red being very conspicuous.
They next showed me dashinrly
smart young mems overcoat. 1t was
made of rough fabric in Il striking
overplaid effect The coat was full and
roomy but had trifle more severe lines
than the Bolmacaan. The sleeves were
set'in and narrow, distinct change
from the sleeves Of Balmacaan.
next visited a very high priced and
exclusive tailor. happened to come in
at Just the right moment for they were
trying on a very clever suit ON an ex.
tremely well built gentleman. The suit
was one-buttou affair and that button
was set very high The front was

was double breasted and the trousers
were straight and narrow.
