According to the Tailor and Cutter of London, men’s fashions this spring are remarkable for the many changes that will characterize the clothes of well dressed men. The sack coats will be cut long, with a three seam back, a long vent up the center seam, a decided shaping to the figure, a long rolling front and an abo lition in many cases of the outside breast and ticket pockets and fronts. They will be finished with the corners moderately rounded away. Morning coats, or four button cut aways, are to be cut long, fitting the waist very closely, the fronts rolling low and worn fastened at the waist. Quite a number of these are being made with fiat braid edges. Frocks and summer Chesterfields are also made to roll low. Vests are cut with no collar, there being a decided change in favor of a single breasted style. White vest slips are worn by all the smartest men. Trousers are cut narrow in the leg and are smartly shaped. Wlmt an American Machine Han Done The National Hoot Operators’ union of England is trying to prevent the use of seven new American “pulling over” machines placed in a Leicester factory. The machine automatically takes all the stretch out of the upper of a boot, brings the whole into the perfect shape of the “last” and automatically fixes the upper to the insole. One machine takes the place of twelve men. ^ PISO’S CURE FOR ^ izmtmmmmmsMzi imtHi 11T ri^ i lr wiM ^ CONSUMPTION ” Notice to Teachers.
