what he wants and knows where
to find what he wants.
He may be a banker. a merchant,
a professional man, or n member
OF tho leisure class. Always he is
a man well dressed.
The same man who seeks a tai
lored suit also seeks an %overcoat
made by the same -rtist. Over
coats this seaso are going to be
much looser than they wero asst
season, and many will have belts.
Tho lighter shades are predominant
ing in the ready-made. but in tai
lored o~vercoats there Will probably
be q conservative tendency.
A light overcoat will not keep
an attractive appearance as will a
a for light buff tints. exclu-
sIve tailors think that this will
pass. and that men of prominence
will still Demand the more perma-
nent. shades.
There are a dozen tall ,rs in this
city. any one Of whom are cap
able of supplying the wants of the

As Is natural. persons requiring
tailored suits also demand that the
cloth be of the very best quality.
Worsteds are bidding for first

in a strong second.
Hard finish is demanded on the
greater number of SUITS. although
a rougher cloth will also be por,:-

darker. Some stripes and small
checks will be permitted. Grays
will be worn only II they are dark

requires him TO buy a suit that will
stanC the test of the highest au-

Knickers Urged as
Travelling Costume
By Jersey Girl

II is said that Miss Margaret
Campbell. niece OF the State Treasur-
er OF New Jersey. recently astonished
the conservative Londcners and held
up traffic when she appeared on the
streets OF that city In knickerbockers.
Indeed. to escape the curiosity OF the
hilarious throngs, Miss Campbell on
one occasion was forced TO take ref
uKe in a taxi. The attire that Inn
pressed Piccadilly SO amazingly con-
sisted of a golf suit worn with brown
stockings. a big black hat and large,
tortoise-rimmed s~pectac!es.
In defense OF her apparel. Miss
Campbell say that she did not show
more of her neither extremities than
English girls do. the point OF differ
ence being that they wear skirts
whils she esssyed the bifurcated gar
ment. Her contention is that before
a very long while women all over
the world viii wear knickerbockers
for travelling and for comfort. and
that the staring and jostling will
cease with the erstwhile novelty be
coming a very commonplace thing.

brass which are offered. There Is
the plain polished brass which needs
considerable elbow grease to keep IN

brass pieces should keep their finish
