s Evening
Suits IN Blue
Pendulum of Fashion Swing
ing Away From Extreme
Formally in Dress.

In dealing with evening suits, one is
perhaps discussing the most important
garments of mems dress of today. 1t
IS therefore, necessary to pay consid-
cradle attention to the details which
differentiate between good and bad.
To the casual observer, all evening
suits may look more or less alike, but.
putting aside the fact that they most
~ happen TO be black. there is prac-
tically nothing in common between the
shapeless and clumsy evening suit too
often seen and the well-cut graceful
and perfectly fitting garment turned
out by a specialist who has carried this
class of work TO a fine art.
We say the suits are mostly black,
because lately there has been a de-
cided and growing tendency to have
evening suits made of dark blue cloth
instead of black, the reason being that
by artificial light black is inclined to
show a dusty brown, while a good blue
takes on the appearance of pure
black. AS showing this tendency, one
leading London firm, only a year or
two ago. made but one evening suit
in blue TO 100 in black, but now state
that the proportion is more like one in
five. This certainly shows d change
from the long prevailing idea that a
dress suit must be black, and gives
occasion TO wonder if the time may
not come when some of the more sub
dued colors will be again worn for
evening. The pendulum of fashion
seems TO have swung. in the last few
years, TO its extreme limit of formality
and convention, and there have been
signs here and there which point to
a gradual swing in the other direction.
Let us hope, however, that it will be
confined TO narrower limits and not
reach the extremes of the past.
The evening coat, as now designed,
has undoubtedly arrived at a high
point OF excellence, its evolution from
the invention in its original form by
Brummell being along the lines OF
symmetry and comfort, two qualities
which in the past it was too often hard
10 find together. The first rate tailor
of today however, seems at last TO
have thoroughly solved this problem.
The heightened waist line has added
considerably to the graceful effect
and the outside breast pocket also pro-
videS a smart touch. The collar and
lapels have undergone little change
recently, except that if anything, the
inclination is for the latter to be just
a shade narrower.
While on the subject of evening
wear. it is worth mentioning that %Se
dinner Jacket is increasing in popu-
larity daily; although of course there
are still many occasions when the
evening suit is essential, yet on less
ceremOniOus occasions the dinner
jacket in its new and smart form is
rapidly gaining in favor; closer study
by the tailor having led 10 the produc-
ton Of a shapely coat, with collar and
lapelS similar 10 the dress coat, thus
replacing the old-fashioned loose
short jacket with silk roll collar, which
was really little more than a lounge
coat for evening wear at home.

CENSUS Of THE SKY

number Sparrows.

There is a country whose cities are
never oyercrowded, the present census
registering on the average two citi-
zens to every acre. This country is
the land of the sky; it's citizens, the
birds.
The United States department of
agriculture has discovered the facts
and put them safely away in a bull
letin which the public may have for
the asking, though by what methods
the government biologists obtained
and substartiated the numbers this
same public has not yet been advised.
Did they resort to aeroplanes? And
once in the aeroplane did they consult
Mr.. and Mrs. Bird as to the number of
their children? We are not vet in
formed, but 1t can easily be seen that
there might be some confusion.
AS rule statistics only stupefy. but
there's something to be said for the
robin which may interest some people.
There is more of him than of any
other bird in the United States-six
pairs of robins to each farm of So
acres. The English sparrow is a close
second, five pairs to each So acres.
No other bird is nearly so abundant as

mankind-is the preference of breed

ters. They prefer the Great White
Way to the quiet forest. This seems
to indicate the beginnings of human
ntelligence-oh, well, perhaps not in
telligence, but it's human, whatever
else it may be. And, say the biolo-
gists, it seems probable that as our
human population increases SO will
our bird population increase. Thus we

Throughout the United States. TAX

much larger scale, if bird lovers are
willing to aid. There are no funds to
pay for this work, and it therefore de-
ponds on volunteers who will con-
tribute the facts in the case.

British Army's Black Bands.

At one time much of the music
played to enliven British troops was
furnished by black bandsmen. These
were first attached to the army in the
seventeenth century, owing to one of
the guards bands having refused, in
body, to play at an entertainment
organized by the officers. AS none of
the men were attested, they could not
be punished for INSTRUMENTATION, so
the officers petitioned the duke of
York, then commander-in-chief, that
bandsmen should in future be made
subject. to military law. To this the
duke would not agree, but he brought
over from Hanover for the guards a
complete German military band. which
included negro players of the bass
drum, cymbals and triangles. Nearly
every regiment in the service has
tened to reorganize it's band, engaging
colored performers for all percussion
instruments. Down to 1S41 the band
Of the Scots Guards included a negro
musician.
