A RETURN TO GAY COLOURS. The appearance of side-whiskers-and- bouser straps as artioles of fashionable attire bas fluttered the limited circles in London where men move who attach im. Fortance to being well dressed. There
are signs that some stronger influence is at work than a mere change in the detail of fashion. Many believe this lapse back to the sartorial ideals of the Victorian period is something more than a mere whimsical striving after an effect differ- ent from prevailing habit.
Men's clothes vary but little all the year round. The differences are only in trivial matters of detail, and if the change is progressive the steps takon are so minute that the tread from one ex- treme to the other is scarcely perceptible except to those whose eyes are trained to the slow stages in the swing of the pondnlum. Even the adoption of the side whisker is not so startling as would at first sight appear, Man has swung from whiskers so droll in appearance that they animated his popular songs to the faciul mode of our day when the hero of: stageplay or story bares a bulldag jowl. There is nothing more natural than that be should swing slowly back from the cleansskoven ideal of to-day to the whisk- ers of 1830 by growing & wisp or two of hair on the side of his face. The neat side whisker is therefore only a straw betraying the way the wind in blowing.
TIRED OF DRAS HONOTONY,
And this time-man instead of advanc ing step by step in changing his fashions in making a leap. Tired of the drab monotony and sameness of his daily habit, he rebounds in the direction of the ti end of a period which closed a blaze of glorious fashions for men whose varie ties of form and colour still bewilder the casual stndent. After retracing his steps, this balting place somewhere “about the Early Victorian period may prove only the threshold of his advance back- wards to an adoption of the costumes worn by Englishinen through still more glowing centuries:
Without any stretch of the imagination we may yet see again the wig, the bagwig, the perivig, and the perruque; back may come the cravat, the knee breech, and white silk stockings of the Georgian Lucks; or we may have the silk brocaded shirt, the slashed sleeves, and the much he-buttoned, glowing waistcoats of the period when the second Charles was King
The Strand, Regent-street, and the Mail may feast, the eye with mulberry Grange plush, gold brocade, and claret colours, and we may again saunter with a quizzing glass to look over the latest belle whose patched face greets us arti- ficially as she trips of a morning to the Fashionable dressmakers. Indeed, some leisurely back, in sheer reaction, may challenge the taxicab by making a stately progress in a gilded chair. And why net, pray-why not?

Just justico, and traders are fairly treated. as there was a revival of costume effects: We have works out there, and have never after the drab years of Puritanism, so had to complain of his government, shall we revolt from the era of dull, cons mercial dressing that came as a reaction from the gay but quieting splendours of the Georgian period.
BACK TO FLORID EXTRAVAGANCE.
There is more in the present startling departure than meets the eye. These things have always run in cycles-first a dull period, then a gay one, then a moderate but interesting ourtailment, fading out into a period of dulness Fashions for men may react sgain and witch from the stern formality of the present to a florid extravagance of attire rivalling anything attempted by the Lucks of the Stuart reigns. People who do not worry over much about these things say: Never again; in our these bravo trappings would not do, To that the costumier answers: Go look at the couts the dandies wore.
FRUITS OF GOOD GOVERNMENT.
"Sarawak stands out as a prosperous principality, while other Malay States, under the rule of the Colonial Office, are not prosperous. Its prosperity is due to its good government by the Rajah, who does not employ young men without ex- perience, which is the Colonial Office way
***Its prosperity has no doubt attracted attention, and possibly the Colonial Office people think it would be a good stroke to take over Sarawak and let its prosperity pay for the other Malay States, which are. not flourishing under departmental man- agement.
