Bell Bottom Pants, Pinch-Back,
and Other Frills Discarded
BY Convention.
The cake eaters reign Is at an end.

The cake eaters reign Is at an end.
F1appers, cake eatrixes, take notice.
Beginning with the new spring
styles. the "plain.made tailor man"
will be all the rage.
It is 30 decreed by the tailors meet
ing in the Forty-second annual con-
vention of the Merchant Tailors De-
signers' Association at the Washing
ton Hotel this week.
The living Apollos of the boulevards,
the walking clothes racks and all the
other sobriquets earned by the young
men who prescribed to the fashions OF
the past three years will be utterly
and heartlessly thrown into the dis
card, according to the tailors.
Bell-bottomed trousers, pinch-back
coats, fancy vests and coats with a
hiRh-cut waist line must go. Plain
made clothes Of a decade ago will take
their place In mems styles.
The radical change in mems styles
IL made partly to meet the widespread
criticism and humorous tabs taken at
mems clothing since the bell bottom
and other frills and fancies Of mems
attire have been designed.
Here's another jolt. The designs OF

box effect. The graceful and Greek
lines Of the cake-eater designs will be
discarded. The man will be in every
sense plain tailor-made man." CLAP
pers are permitted to weep
The square double-breasted coat. the
only living vestige Of the discarded de-
signs, with white trousers, will be the
vogue for the coming summer, say the
tailors.
The convention was opened this
morning by the Rev. William Tayloe
Snyder. The addresses of welcome was
made by Col. Charles Keller, engineer
commissioner.
"Business and Education was the
tonic of an address by William Mather
Lewis, civic development department,
of the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States. The styles committee,
which has in charge the task of chang
ing the styles. will make official an
nouncement of the changes at the
Thursday session of the convention.

"Of course he did All I mean is
that he must have had some strong
reason for telling Mrs. Norbury at
once. And the reason I suggest is
that he knew on that morning-Mon-
day morning. not Tuesday-that Rob
ert was coming to see him. and had
to be in first with the news"
"But-but-"
And that would explain the other
point-his instantaneous decision at
breakfast to tell you all about his
brother. 1t wasn't instantaneous. He
knew on Monday that Robert was
coming, and decided then that you
would all have to know"
Then how do you explain the let
ter?"
We'll, let's have a look at it."
Antony took the letter from his
pocket and spread 1t out on the grass
between them.

from Australia. l give you warning
so that you will be able to conceal

But he got this on Tuesday"
Did he?"

You were all away playing golf"
We were bound to see him if he

Very well. then. That's one thing
we've discovered. Mark knew that
there was no chance Of getting Rob
ert out of the house at once"
Bill looked at his friend eagerly.
Go. on" he said. This is getting
interesting"
He also knew something else, d"
went on Antony. He knew that Rob
ert was bound to betray his real char
acter to you as soon as you met him -
Yes. That's sound enough"
well, now. doesn't it strike you
that Mark made up his mind about all
that rather quickly?"
How do you mean?"
He got this letter at breakfast. He
read it; and directly he had read it
he began to confide in you all. That
is to say, IN about one second he
thought out the whole business and
came to a decision-to two decisions.
He considered the possibility of get
ting Robert out of the way before you
came back, and decided that it was
impossible. He considered the posi-
bility of Roberts behaving like an
ordinary decent person in public. and
decided that it was very unlikely. He
came to those two decisions instantan-

he told them. But the funny thing
is that he told them the day before

and was killed, the day before yester-

do you make Of that?"
Coincidence" said Bill. after care

tell her; his suit was prospecting, and
just before It was finally settled, he
told her. That happened to be Mon
day. On Tuesday he got Roberts
letter, and felt jolly glad that he'd

rather a curious coincidence. And

very curious indeed. 1t only occurred
