A “ TAILS ” FASHION.
Fewer and fewer men are wearing buttonholes in the lapels of their evening “tails." There seems no real explanation of it, but the reason given the other night by one man is probably the right one. “If you wear a buttonhole in your tail coat," he said, "you must always wear one. The lapel is irrevocably marked and puckered. Often it is not, convenient to get a buttonhole—in some cases it is definitely out of place to wear one—but you are conscious of that puckered lapel all the time. “Many men are now having their coats made without a buttonhole being cut in the lapel. That settles the matter anyway."
