By ]. Herbert Hodgins A DEPARTMENT FOR WELL-DRESSED MEN By ]. Herbert Hodgins UNIFORMS VERSUS TAILS pretty hard competition -these khaki and airforce blue u 'f now appearing in all the smart spots. But the Men Behind uni forms have to have a little bit of fun, too, and I'm glad they are c~ rnes / IT'Sforth to hold their own :n civilian garb. Tails appear to be +he blng 1 answer to. uniforms, and m~st men look therr best in +~em too. I a: ' a little b1t t1red of hearmg shorter men decry tails. Some g t I positively frightened to wear them. To tell the truth, the aver ore ' shorter man looks BETTER in tails than he does in a drnner ~~: Granted that a tall man looks pretty smart 1n tails, doesn't he 1~ 1 k I pretty well in anything he puts on 7 But no reason why the fi ve-foote~s should feel abashed. They would look very well rn tarls, too, if the would give them a chance. The answer is- as ndeed its the a nswey to all men s clothing questions - perfect fit. The shorter ma n should Ihave his formal outfit made with extreme care. The coat should be well fitted, as in any man's suit. But the shorter man should have his tail coat a HIGH FITTED model- meaning that the warstline should be cut on a higher-waistline line than his elongated brother. The result is a longer leg line, the desired effect. Also the length of the tails becomes doubly important on shorter chaps. Tall-and-handsome 1 generally wears his tails about two inches BELOW the bend of the knee. The shorter man should not allow his tails to be longer t han his I knees, and the trousers should not be full but very well tapered. You .five-foot-four-inchers should consult your tailors about th1s important matter. You'd be more than pleasantly surprised to drscover how Iwell you'll look in well-cut tails, if you'll only give your tailor a chance. EING well dressed is not only a mere matter of clothes. Some men Bare happier in tails, others in dinner clothes. Whether you are ' six feet four inches or five feet five inches, the answer 1s: How do you feel? Nonchalance, backed by good tailor1ng, is the best solution to figure difficulties. The recent Horse Show, 1n New York , (where Icompetition from uniforms is nothing to worry about ... but OH those 1 Mounties!) brought out about a fifty-fifty ratio of dinner jackets and tails. And it really starts to look os if men are catching on to the Ifact that derbies should NOT be worn with the semi-formal clothes. · But, of course, you'll always see a few blithe souls contJnurng to make I this grievous sartorial mistake. BE YOUR AGE I ID you ever ~top to think that men are often as guilty as women Dabout choosing 'other-age" clothing?

Hume. ^|r Chicago and New York; Rand, McNally & Company, Publishers, : THE MYSTERY OF A HANSOM CAB. CHAPTER I. WHAT THB "AKGUS" SAID. The following report appeared in the Argus newspaper of Saturday, the 28th July, 18— " Truth is said to be stranger than fiction, and certainly the extraordinary murder which took place in Melbourne on Thursday night, or rather Friday morning, goes a long way towards verifying this saying. A crime has been com- mitted by an unknown assassin, within a short distance of the principal street of this great city, and is surrounded by an impenetrable mystery. Indeed, from the nature of the crime itself, the place where it was committed, and the fact that the assassin has escaped without leaving a trace behind him, it would seem as though the case itself had been taken bodily out of Gaboreau's novels, and that' his famous detective Lecocq only would be able to unravel it. The facts of the case are simply these: " On the twenty-seventh day of July, at the hour of twenty minutes to two o'clock in the morning, a hansom cab drove up to the police station, in Grey Street, St. Kilda, and the driver made the startling statement that his cab contained the body of a man whom he had reason to be- lieve had been murdered.

Trade was disrupted between the countries in the Central Empire (Germany, Austria- Hungary, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire), the Triple Entente (France, the United Kingdom, and Russia), and their allies (the United States, Italy, and Romania, among others). Textile industries were monopolized by various needs of the army and sales to the civil sphere declined all over Europe. Supply issues were further aggravated by shortages of raw materials such as wool and cotton and other necessary goods such as canvas.1 M o s t s i g n i fi cantly, a majority of workers and consumers were sent to the front.

W. Hornung, 1899 E. W. Hornung has some thing in common with Arthur Conan Doyle. They both authored over a dozen serious literary novels, but their lasting fame came through their light ‘entertainments’, Mr. Hornung for Raffles, and Mr. Doyle for Holmes. Another thing they had in common was Mr. Doyle’s sister, Connie. Mr. Hornung made her his wife. A. J. Raffles, the gentleman thief, was popular from the first publication in 1899. Raffles was first featured in a film in 1905, a silent film, and he has starred in films and television shows ever since. If you read the stories from beginning to end, you’ll see something very interesting. Mr. Hornung progresses Raffles’s deeply flawed character along it’s inevitable path to his self-destruction.

  • News, Notes and Queries
    News, Notes and Queries DR. HODGKIN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS DISTINGUISHED FRIEND AND PATIENT, SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE, Bt., F.R.S.* IN 1824 Abraham Montefiore journeyed to the Continent in a vain attempt to restore his failing health. He was accompanied by Dr. Thomas Hodgkin. They proved in- compatible, so Hodgkin was pleased when he heard that they were to be joined by Abraham's elder brother, Moses, whom he had previously met in Paris. Thus began their close association. They were of different types. Hodgkin was small and slight with an aquiline nose and very bright dark brown eyes. He was alert and full of activity. He favoured the Quaker speech and dress:1 a plain black, grey, or drab suit, the coat shaped like a covert coat with stand-up collar and a white necktie. The broad-brimmed hat was not removed either in place of worship or for salutation. A joint founder of the Aborigines Protection Society, he worked hard for oppressed savages, persecuted Jews, and ill-housed poor.2 Moses Haim Montefiore34 was born in 1784 and died in 1885. In 1812 he married Judith Cohen, whose sister was wife to Nathan Mayer Rothschild, and moved his business of broker and banker to 4, New Court. He was a founder of the Alliance Assurance Company,5 Imperial Continental Gas Association, and Provincial Bank of Ireland.6 Having amassed great wealth by the age of forty, he retired in order to devote his few expected remaining years to charity. He stood six feet three inches, was of soldierly bearing, having been a Captain in the Surrey Militia, and was something of a martinet.

  • The Ultimate Guide to Overcoats
    THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO OVERCOATS The Perfect Addition To Your Wardrobe There is nothing that makes you feel quite as smart as when the cold weather arrives and you can put on your overcoat. Whether you wear your overcoat to work with a suit or casually with jeans and a jumper, this timeless, versatile garment should be an essential in your wardrobe. This guide is designed to inspire your choices when it comes to having your overcoat made, as well as offering a few simple guidelines to the style and fit. Read on for more... INSPIRATION TOP TIP We recommend you have your overcoat finish just above the knee. The sleeve length should come beyond the end of both your suit and shirt sleeves, but not as far as your knuckles, so when worn with gloves, your wrists will never get cold! How Should An Overcoat Fit? An overcoat worn over a suit will need to be cut a little wider on the shoulders to accommodate the shoulder pad of the suit beneath. For the same reason, it will also need to be slightly longer on the sleeve, as the pad of the suit will raise up the overcoat and make the sleeve appear shorter. Finally, a little more allowance would be made in the body to accommodate the suit beneath. The Fabric and Style As you are having a coat made from scratch, the style choices are almost limitless. However, we do have some favourite coat styles of our own. We'll present a few of them across the next few pages, with helpful notes pointing out the various features that make them special.
