At least for early spring the double- i `breasted sack willbe more popular than it has been for many seasons.

Double-Breasted Frock for Formal Occasion. ` While the black cutaway has been ,t:enerally adopted. as a correct coat for day dress and an, impression -has gone out that the double-breasted. frock has been cast into the discard, .close observers have noticed that on i,om,=_as_ions of formality when it was -absolutely necessary that; a man lslmuld be dressed correctly, few cuta- {ways were seen, and the` double- `,breasted frock was everywhere. This ;adoption of: the double-breasted frock `is absolutelyrcorrect, for no other `garment is now, or has been able to `take its place. 4 No other coat gives ian air of dignity equal to that be- lstowe`d'by the frock, and in itevery man gissumes the appearance of one lwho determines to do. honor to the ;time, place and occasion. That it lwill continue to hold its place. there lis no question, and the man who is gaslged. to give advice about formal , day dress` will do well to remember thatwhile the double- breasted frock is correct for both formal and in- `informal day dress occasions, the {cutaway is suitable only for the more informal occasions. and is as much incorrect when worn at strictly form- al occasions as is the dinner coat at an evening reception.

The peg top and `the loose trousers of all sorts have gone completely out of fashion. Not only have trousers become narrower,| `but they are shorter, reaching only to the topof the instep, and with younger men, sometimes rolled only toethe shoe tops.

Leaving the lovers out. of the matter, it would appear that: the poets and lunatics are divided on 1 this question. As has been `pointed out in these -columns in the past, the poets, almost to a man, are against the pact. and have not hesitated to indulge in a generous expenditure of ink and midnight oil to prove it. Now, it would appear that the lun- atics are equally emphatic in favorof reciprocity! Such divisions appear to be inevitable in times of great na-- tional excitement.

THE TREND OF FASHION shows that for the coming spring season, at least, the tendency will be towards conservatism. The clothes of the best dressed men, those who study the suit- I .ability and convenience of dress as` well as the newest fashion, will be"! conspicuous for the absence of frills of any kind, and the `elegance of simplicity will be studied. 'l`_herev will be no place in the coming spring.` and summe1"for'the fancy cuff or any of the attendant fripperiesl of aps or pockets on either~business or! dress garments, nor in the sack c-oati; will we see any trace of the gerated front length `or dip to! 0 . ` which we have become accustomed in; former seasons. ` in `all colors with 6', 1311.
