London. English scientists arc tak

A singular featuro of tho discovey
Is that, In most respects, tho skeleton

Cutaway Effects More Popular.
As tho season advances the vogue
for cutaway effects seems to bo on
the Increase. Many or the late models
are out away lo un extreme point in
tho hack and fastened just below the
bust in front. Shopkeepers realize,
howover, that a garment of this typo
is extremely dilllcult to wear and thoy
are modifying these cutaway coats so
as to mako them a bit more practical.
The majority of the cutaway models
shown in tho shops are not cutaway
until thoy como below the waist line,
and then are cut In either round or
pointed effect, both being In favor.
As trimmings nro confined largely
to the collars, rovers and cuffs or tho

attention, and It Is frequently the cut
of a collar or a rever that makes or
