Twenty years ago sartorial experts would have looked askance at a man who attended a society ball or a musical evening attired in anything but full evening dress. To-day, however, says a Christchurch exchange, “the old order changeth, giving place to the new.” A man now takes his social pleasures dressed in a dinner suit and the swallowtailed coat has fallen into disfavor, so much so that when worn it is conspicuous. This change in men’s dress was most marked at tlio charity ball in Christchurch last week. Virtually the only men wearing full evening dress were the members of the official party and the majority of the debutantes’ escorts.
