Show SARTORIAL ADORNMENT. Some kind friend, or more likely some ambition, advertiser, frequently favors us with a picture book t of styles for men. showing the extremes and the ; more conservative models for the current season in ; men's wearables. In the latest style book, we lean: ! that the broad shoulders which have been so stylish of late years are going out. No longer will the counter jumper whose most strenuous exertions j would be required to shoulder a fifty-pound sack of shot appear before the public with a chest .-velop- ment equal to a Jeffries and shoulders that wouLl be the envy of a Hercules. Hereafter we are to have shoulders more after the kind we have developed de-veloped by hard work and natural physique. If they are puny, we will be in better style than if we have exerted ourselves and developed them to the point of ungainliness, if withal usefulness. There is one feature of the style book, however, which should bring joy to the hearts of those of us who pride ourselves on our physique. The pictures of tin-young tin-young men in the latest cut of coat show them with a nice little pipe in their faces, or a cigarette neatly held in the right hand such a shapely hand, too. The puny size of the head of young men remains as good form, too, especially among the more extreme ex-treme models. The pipe is au fait, the cigarette ditto, broad shoulders are on the wane, and we still have last winter's suit to wear out. We fear we shall be hopelessly out of style the coming season. Rude men are at times impelled to say unpleasant un-pleasant things about the artificiality of the women wo-men folks. They all know that no young women have been gifted with a half bushel of hair, but of course they realize that the modem hat requires a slight addition to the hirsute adornment, and they do look pretty nice when they get rigged out. Perhaps we have been unfair to them in our criticisms, but when they see us in the latest style cut of coat, w ! j need. not be surprised if we should be asked if we j have been ill we have fallen away so.
