In the new, there are but sih 
one in the second. Again, in 
re are no buttons below the fl 
pockets), and but four butt 
 
 
  In the old style there are three 
laps-while there are similar orna- 
 
 
ments on the waistcoat, which is skirted-and there 
are six buttons on the tails. Then in addition there 
is the wig-bag, to which we shall refer in a moment, 
at the back of the coat collar, as well as the frills 
and ruffles. Although on the lace of these as much 
may be spent as on the rest of the costume, the cost 
-of the simpler dress is really not much less than that 
of the other. A survival is, of course, to be seen in 
the sword and in the simplified costume, it is worn in 
a frog instead of on a sling. 
   We have made it evident how much a man now 
 depends upon his tailor for correctness in the detail 
 of his Court dress, and it is amusing to find that wig- 
 bags are put on to modern-style coats, and that the 
 number of buttons is often quite wrong; but if these 
 are the faults of the tailor, it is the man himself who 
 
 
is responsible who goes to Court with his sword I 
ing at his right side. We have not heard of mil 
men making such a mistake, but officers have 
known to appear with their cross-belts over 
wrong shoulder. It is a good thing for some 
Court etiquette is not so strict as it has bee 
the past.
