A Summer Idea

"Him," of Vogue, gives this latest bit of information about men's fashions: "The prince has at last started a novelty which I think will be more lasting than the link-button, which has not been generally adopted. In Paris, recently, the prince appeared in what is known as a smoking jacket or a Cowes coat on the street. Of course he had the overcoat over it, but the jacket was worn in the day-time and when he removed his Chesterfleld, he was found ciad in light sheplierd's-plaid trousers, white waistcoat and a lounge or Cowes jacket of black-facecl silk, with gorge collar. The idea, however, is not for winter, but for summer. This summer, after midday, Cowes coats or lounge jackets, or Tuxedos or whatever you may be pleased to cali them will be worn with light trousers and iancy or white waistcoats. At least, this is the prophecy."
