PEG-TOP PARISIANS.
Frenchmen, in tlicir clothes, arc copying ] the smart Parisian woman by adopting a silhouette which, in its general outline, suggests a tapering effect, created b.v great width at the shoulders and gradually narrowing to the tightest and shortest ot trousers. These are in direct contrast to the new full trousers fashionable with young, well-dressed Englishmen. nate not only in lounge suits, but also in the fashionable Chesterfield overcoat. Over- | coats are long, and the buttons are so far | apart that the flap-over of the doublebreasted coat is greater than in England. The great difference between the clothes of Knglishmeu and Frenchmen lies in the letter's lnve for colour in neck wear and shirts. The vogue of the soft double I collar, made from the same material as the shirt, affords scope for the most ornate patterns, the prevailing colours being beetroot, lacquer, golden brown and shades or blue.
