Citing suits for this style leadership does not imply a diminution of con- | sideration for coats, for this type is likewise comprehensive in style and | scope. Interest is centered upon the tafl- { ored suit both in its mannish treat- and again in its modified ver- | slon of sports conception, Still an- | other division in the suit develop- | | | ment, ment is the costume suit, generally a matter of three-piece composi- ; tion, | One of the features of the boyish tailored suit is the curved, fitted out- line, definitely recognized in the tap- ering line from shoulder to waistline, {In details of cut and minor acces- sories, as well as choice of fabrics, the features of the boyish prototype are duplicated. One especially strik- ing model is presented with jacket and skirt developed in fabrics that suggest the clothes associated with a man's afternoon suit, adding white waist as the finishing point of re- semblances, In -the suits of sports derivation, formed into styles that make them feasible for street or other utilitarian purposes, fabrics of novel appeal are of major consideration, These range from broad striped weaves, such as Alsace de laine, a kind of serge, to fine twills. Tans and grays are men- tioned with special favor in suits. The short, hip-langth jacket or straight box cut is noted repeatedly ih this type of suit, the abbreviated length in many instances striking an especially youthful note. The use of sleeves inclining more toward width than the regulation fitted tailored sleeve, is a feature of suits of this order, corresponding with the straight lines of the body of the gar- ment. ored suit, adopted from Premet, is marked by fine silk plpings of con- trasting color introducede in th front of the jacket, upon which are applied little distended pockets: 4 | the central business section of One version of the trimmed all ~ PERTH'S BIG FIRE. | Allan "House Destroyed--Wind Sav- | ed Other Building. | Perth, Feb. 6.--Fire which yes-| | terday morning gutted the 'block in | the | town of Perth, formerly occupied | | by the Allan House, a noted hotel | ot other days, for a time threatened to extend to other business proper- ties. The entire block occupied by the former hotel with the business | places below, was burned with a loss | | of some $25,000, partly.covered by insurance. The fire is believed to have origi- pated in a defective chimney in the restaurant of Robert Cordick. From this place, a frame structure at- tached to the former hotel, it spread to .the butcher shop of White & Findlay adjoining it, and. thence to the building proper. Here the large grocery and flour and feed establish- ment of J. E. Irwin was destroyed, as. well as a vacant store next door which had'been fitted up by Mr. Ir- win for occupancy. The" fact that the wind was from the east and was blowing in the dir- ection of the Tay river, took the sparks 'away from other premiscs which would otherwise have been menaced. The Allan House was a stone struc- ture, one of the oldest in Perth, and occupied a central position opposite | the postoffice. PROBS: --Thursday, mostly fair and turning some- what colder.
