CORONATION AND THE FROCK COAT.

You may take it from me that it will he ‘the thing’ this summer. Coronation or no Coronation, the frock coat cannot go out. For‘one frock coat we have on order, wo turn out one hundred morning coats.” ‘‘ft is idle to suggest,” continued our informant, “that the morning coat cannot be worn at Court functions. So far from this being the case, I am certain that at the garden parties given by the King the morning coat will greatly preponderate over the heavier-looking ‘frock.’ And silk hats will also be a great deal in evidence.” Hero is, according to our authority, a forecast of the • correct dress for man’s wear this season:— “Dark grey morning coat, with a wide or narrow binding. Vest of the same material with a white slip. Striped trousers, displaying a somewhat bolder design than those now actually worn.”
