Versificatiou which once was one of thes commonest requirements of youth is hopeless mystery to the people of Taisho.

WAR ON SWALLOW-TAILS.

Protesting the exorhitant prices de-
manded hy French society tailors for full
evening attire, the clubrnen and boule-
vardiers of Paris have risen IN a solid
mass against the campaign IN favor of the
restoration of the swallow-tailed coat for
all nocturnal functions.
The Paris beaux charge that theaters
and dance halls which impose full dress
attire have been bribed by the tailors
syndicate, which is planning 10 skyrocket
the price of evening suits to $500 as soon
rs the public has been brought into line
The Tuxedo" says the Partisan fash
ion leaders, was good enough for us dur
ing the war, it il good enough now
Furthermore, it is more comfortable than
the swallow-tail, more manly, and, above
all, 1T costs less, requiring less material
less skill and less time IN the making
Economy is the watchword of the mo-
ment, and in the interest of economy we
refuse 10 be blackmailed into reinstating
an obsolete and expensive style of dress
which has nothing TO recommend il to
our favor"
