With all ber freaks and fads the "New Woman" does not commence to enjoy the same comfort with her manâ€" nish clothing that a man does. For she will almost always sacrifice comfort for style and effect, while with a man comfort comes first. Men‘s suits and overcoats admit of such few changes in style that the main question is to get & becoming color and, for severe weather, to make them warm enough without too much bulk or weight, And here men take advantage of the many femâ€" inine appropriations of their styles and borrow the invaluable Fibre Chamois on which such extensive sleeves are safely built,using it in winter coate and veats for the sake of the healthful warmth it gives, a comforting warmth which neither wind nor rain will pene: trate.
