Bar Lapel Buttonholes
Harry Iehr of New York and Newport
has started a brand new fashion for men.
Having for years devoted his fertile brum
to evolving wonderful ideas concerning
dress and the behavior of the gentler sex,
tie has turned bis attention to his broth
ers in society and by appearing in a fcuit
without the lapel buttonhole has attempted
to revolutionise their attire.
Mr. I-ehr's new suit Is a dark brown,
with three-lm-h checks, and no effort was
made ' to have the stripes meet at the
seams. It has three buttons and the collar
and lapels are rather wider than those
which have been seen on fashionables In
the last few years.
Mr. Uehr's idea in abolishing the Hpel
buttonhole is that the fashionable man is
seldom seen nowadays with a boutonnlere
except in the evening and that It is there
fore unnecessary.
Fashionable tailors do not take kindly to
the innovation. They say the buttonhole Is
not made to carry a flower, but for actual
use. The manuger of a well known Fifth

the younger set of "smart" society men. In
discussing Mr. Ihr's new clothes and the
fall fashions for men. sa(d today: 'Tailors
nre not making coats without the lapel
buttonhole. I don't think they will make
them. The buttonhole is there not to hold
a flower, but that a man may turn up his
collar If he wishes and fastes it when w. lik
ing along a country road or when the air
leomes chilly, and he Is not compelled to
be ceremonious. We will make coats with
three and four buttons. Three buttons suit

President Well Armed
When President Roosevelt jumped to the
wharf at F.Ills Island from, the immigra
tion cutter H. it. Chamberlain last Wednes
day and ran forward to shak hands with
t'limmiwlumr General Frank P. Sargent,
a powerful gust caught the skirts of his
coat and whirled them against the back
of his head.
Those standing behind the president saw
sticking out of hi light hip pocket the
hand e of a big revolver. One of lic secret
service men quickly restored the skirts of
the president's coat to ttwlr proper place,
but the momentary gllnipw the vjicctators
had convinced those familiar with kucsj
matters that ' the handle Indicated a
weapon of heavy caliber.
. Those unfamiliar with the president's cus
tom wond-red why lie should go armed
as ms a In stow s peaceful a aa ta-
Miection of Kills Island. It was explained
by one of the secret service men, , how
ever, that the president Invariably car
ried a revolver when he went to a public
place. The president has carried a pistol
ever since he took the oath of otllee after
the assassination of McKlnley. He has
the great cM faith in the abi'ity of tho
doxen or more secret service agents who
guard him, but prefers to be armed him
self In case of emergency. His must In
timate friends have known of his practice
of carrying a six-shooter, hut some of the
secret service men looked surprised when
they saw the handle protruding from the
president's h kel Wednesday.
The pistol Is the bluck-handled blue sieel

with his Rough Rider in t'uba. It Is
the same with which he shot a Spaniard,
us he tells in his history of the Rough
Riders. When In Cuba he practiced faith
fully with his revolver until he became
an excellent marksman. Since that time,
both In Washington and at Oyster Hay,
the revolver shooting has been continued,
until the president ran score the bu'lHt-ye
at nearly every shot.

Washington and Oyster Ray the president
