Man of Style and His Fancy Waistcoat
N THE llngu of the f,ihlc!mbl
man down nut, the ft Is a
waistcoat. Thin rxplaratlou will
enable the westerner to "art
next" to the subject, because
;(iom who assume to set the style rieqlare
"this Is the year of waistcoats." At no
time In the Inn half century, according, to
he New York Bun, ha the waistcoat been
o Important a feature of men's drew as
tod a.
When In the past men wore embroidered
r light-colored silk and aatln waistcoats
the price of these garments was so great
that only the wealthy rould afford them.
The waistcoat of satin embroidered In silk
and gr& that were worn on dress oeca
lona ao recently as half a century ago
cost aa much as an ordinary auit of clothe
of a Fifth avenue tailor's todny.
Now the fancy waistcoat Is wltliln the
reach of all. The munufauture of men's
elothes has made so great an advance that
today the. providing of exclusive models to
the masses Is reduced to a science.
A man may buy for lesa than f a waist
coat which will In all external appearance
resemble Yry closely one that on Flflh
venue would sell for six times as much.
In texture, cut and general style the two
will look very much alike.
The expert will see that the silk in the
eheaper waistcoat la of a Ices flnf quality
han In tha other, and In the manner of
Its making the more expensive waistcoat
wl.l be worth the difference In price. It
will wear much longer. It will show none
of tha remits of cheap and hurried manu
facture which so often reveal themselves In
articles manufactured In gross.
In point ef style, however, the cheap
waistcoat will not be a jot behind the one
made for Its wearer especially. Manufac
turers of these garments now follow tha
fuahlons aa closely aa the must expensive
tailors.
The result Is that the fancy waistcoat
has become an article that any nmn tan
afford. If he Is alight In figure and able
to wear the customary elies It Is probable
that he will do Just about as well at the
stores dealing In ready made clothes as he
would with a costly cutter and fitter.
with a dress suit ate. of course, white.
Tliey are made with a V. have rarely more
than two buttons and come In dins. Bilk
and cloth. The white duck may have a
pattern in trie goods, but In the majority of
cases It Is plain.
Pome of thee waletcosts sre finished with
a braid of the same color. The better style,
however. Is simple duck; and duck, It might
be add?d. Is much better style than any'
other material.
Drees waistcoat come, however. In white
brocaded Bilk, In satin elaborately embroid
ered with narrow braid In scroll-like figures
and arabeequca about the edges, and In
white cloth on which the most complicated
figures are traced In braid. Then there are
plain white cloth waistcoats with no other
adornment than the narrow braid about the
edes.
One daring maker has offered his cueto- .
iners a waistcont consisting of a fine white
wool cloth adorned simply with the stitch
ing and closed with buttons of the same
material. There la a while silk mervellleux
collar about an inch and a half broad.
The same tiling Is made up In gray and
mauve for dinner Jackets.
The whits waistcoat of evening wear i.iuy
always be ornamented with the colored but
tons that are so much worn now a a
feature of evening dress. They come In
every kind of stone, and the semi -precious,
such as amethyst, turquoise, moonstone and
even coral being the most popular.
With a dinner coat worn the other night
at the theater the gray and white mixture
of silk and wool that made the waistcoat
was relieved by buttons made of circles of
small garnets about a large central stone. "
It waa not only smart, hut sufficiently sub
dued lo be exoellent style.
Turquoises are Irttle Infantile and very
young men are perhaps the only ones to
wear them appropriately. The entire Bete,
which came Into use last year, are still the
style, and men who have the finest pearl
stud are this year leaving them In the
case In order to use the seml-predous
stones that comprise In the setstuds, cuff
buttons and waistcoat burtons.
The .Ires waistcoat Is only an unimpor
tant phase of the fancy waistcoat erase,
when one takes Into consideration the
number of men that wear a fnr.cy waist
coat every day. The waistcoat ma le for
the suit has almost fallen into disuse, so
little Is It seen now.
The wa'stcoat that differ from the suit
Is within the reach of nearly all, owing to
the wide rang of its prices; It Is distinctly
the style and it has affected other styles
to such an extent that coats are now cut
low enough to show the waistcont above
them.
The waistcoats made of black and white
are stlil admired, but do not predominate
to anything like the. same extent aa last
winter. The black and whit" ooiikj in
checks, stripes and figured patterns.
There are also browns, grays and reds,
mauve, green and gray and nearly every
shade known to masculine wear in the pnet
along with several that were not formerly
used. Sometimes the waistcoats pro of a
solid color so much embroidered tnat they
add considerably to th root of suit.
One tsn cloth waistcoat lntende.1 to go
with a brown worsted Bult made by a tailor
on Fifth avenue han a put on change
pocket which waa heavily embroidered In
Ilk braid. In addition there were slsborate
embroideries down the front.
Most of these colored waistcoats are
collarless. They have rartty t.iore than
five buttons and as a rule ihree, tiie en-1s
are pointed and the pocket Pap la re
garded as ' being of so much more Im
portance than the pocket itself that 1h?re
are frequently flaps without any pockets.
The best styles hsve only on upper pocket
In the waistcoat, and sometimes even that
Is rrrisslnr, the two pockets at the middle
of the waistcoat being Intended lo take
the place of bolh upper nnd lower pickets.
Braid often finishes a perfotly plain
cloth waistcoat which la otherwise T.lthont
ornament. It Is considered Just as smart,
however, to have the edges of the cloth
unfinished. Buttons may be mod of bone,
wood, mother of pearl or even of the ma
terial. For everyday wear the w .ilstco.it should
he to a, certain extent sporty. There must
b no collar, the V must be cut low nnJ
the pocket provided with heavyflaps. For
somewhat more dressy waistcoat, to be
worn for Instance with a morning or cut
away coat which has been put on a .
aubstltute for a frock, there are waistcoats
In white and mauve and very light cream
woolena which are finished with thin lines
of braid.
Of the variety of the fancy waistcoat
there Is no end.

One man at the Waldorf the other even

Schweluer Jumped on a horse and galloped
back to the woods where the nuts were,
but, high or low, he could find no trace of
the child.
Then he went or help. Soon a party of
twenty men and boys was scouring the
woods for the missing child. But no track
nor trace of her could they find. All that
night the hunt, continued, but 'the break of
day brought no tidings.
Far and near spread the word of little
Margaret's strange disappearance, and the
searching party kept growing larger and
larger aa people from further away came'
In. Farm work-" a II over the township was
neglected, ao great was the excitement.
On the second day one of the socarchers
came to a knoll thickly studded with pine
and a heavy growth of underbrush. He
discovered a narrow path leading Into the
thicket, and there by the path he found a
little blue sunbonnrt. "
It was a hard path to follow and the
man had to get down on all fours to do it.
Btit the trail waa hot now and he crawled
along. Suddenly he came across a pile of
chicken bouea, feathers, bits of sheep pelts
ami gnawed bones. There In front of him
was a wolf's den.
An awful fear ef the tot's fate flashed
acrois the man's mind
was beside himself with Joy and he pre
sented a fine 2-year-old colt to the chlld'e
rescuer aa a token of his gratitude.
News of the finding of little Margaret
spread rapidly all over the township and
soon ths farm house was overrun with
sympsthetlc visitors. Margaret, of course,
was the center of Interest and she was
showered with questions of all sort a. She
could tell but little, hut that little waa
remarkable.
"Margy wann't cold one bit," she lisped
detached the fish, and then, putting on
another worm, gravely handed the rod
back to Its owner.
The sams gentleman speaks of a large
elephant he saw st the coo in London a
few years sgo. Knowing how the ani
mals are trained In India by their keep
ers, he held up a nice bun and said,
"Salaam kuro," which means make a
salaam, or bow. For an Inatant the big
creature looked as If he did not quite un
derstand; then when the words were re
peated, his huge trunk went up In the air
In a graceful curve, and he made a salaam
that was Just as correct as it was possible
"Marry wasn't hungry, either. I des' sated for an 'Phnt to make.-Sunshlne
the nuts and the big doggie ties me ana
keep me nice and wrm.
''But the naughty man came and t'lgh't
ened th nice little doggies all away. Bonis
day Margy So back and play wlf the deg
glea again."
Doubtless little Margaret would have been
cared for by the wolf. This Is not so rare
in India, where there have been many
well-authenticated cases of wolf-children
stolen by the beast and brought up with
their cubs. They walk on all fours and
seem to know how to make themselves
understood By their friends, the woKes.
Just as Mowgll did tn Kipling's tales.
And all Brockway township believes Uiat
would hnve been little Margaret's fst had
not she been rescued in the nick of time.
