New Features
 This Spring

Mems clothes will bear several unmstakable signs that distinguish them from those of last year, and the year before. You will note them on the upper reaches of Fifth avenue, in the lounges of the smart clubs, and in the busy hive of the financial district downtown. The correct coat makes distinct point of broad shoulders. and is fitted ever so slightly It is a trifle shorter, too and the corners are oticeably rounded. The back is plain-lapels are broad, long. and bit more rounded. Two buttons are gaining favor, and the double-breasted coat is certain to be worn by particular men even more generally than last year.
 The approved vest this spring embodies medium short points Trousers are cut full and free, and hang from the hips to break over the instep Grays, tans, gray-greens, and blue-grays are the shades, either plain or with overplaids
