WHY SOT KNEE BREECHES?
AVi-: are told 011 the best authority that society desires the change. J hen why has not society the courage of ils opinions? (asks Max Pembertnn in the Taller). Let a bundled of its members appear regularly in breeches at the theatre, and you will have every bank clerk in Lombaid-street 1 tinning headlong lor them in a twelvemonth.
And what of the cost? Are these things, like the motor-car. for the idle rich'' Certainly not. A well-made pair of breeches is a veritable heirloom. They go to the grave with a man, and as to the "honorarium" your tailor will ask, why, we shall have them anon marked at a. couple of guineas in every shop window. Such an outlay may never be regretted. Imagine with what pride the wearer will cross his legs at the theatre. As to the stockings, why, there, of course the new mode will bo hailed enthusiastically by every maiden in the country who can wield a knittingneedle. Expectantly and with beating heart, we shall upon Christinas mornings open those boxes of silk hose sent to us by the only women we have ever loved.
