A SLEEVELESS VEST, which likewise left the waist open, was work under the doublet ; it was not a true waistcoat. This style of dreas was brought from France by Charles 1. From beneath the fallvers of sbirt exposed by the open, vest "the breeches displayed their expanded width," with bunches of ribbon at the waist and' lace ruffler below the keres; the doublet worn over the vent was richly laced and embroidered. So costly was this mode of attire that the king resolved to give the lead towards a more economical and sober fashion, and in the fulfilment of this design he donned.

Extravagance and love of fisery were simply transferred from one syte to another, and on the waistcoat was lavished all. the embellish ment which previously had been bestowod on the breeches. Those flowered and ami broidered waistcoats of sheeny satin, with laced flaps, may certainly have been less troublesome and fantastic than the preceding fashion, but whether they reduced the wearer's account with bis tailor is highly doubiful. Certainly, their utilitarian purpose was utterly forgotten; they were so long as to require a dozen buttons, more or less, but from the waist upwards they were left, unfastened to disclose the richly frilled shit. This was a very different gar ment from the "cassock " of sober black, tastei- felly relieved with glimpses of white silk, which it had been hoped would escourage a mere restrained style of dress.

THE LONG FLAPPED WAISTCOAT

In the following raiga a somewhat shorter waistcoat was prevalent, and from this time the flap began to decrease in length. Instead of reaching almost to the knes it came ́only half-way down the thigh; as men's dress 18th century, and paffiog, lace and embroidery became more simplified toward the close of the

ware abandoned, the flap disappeared alto gether. Some resemblance to it, however, is produced by the custom (which is said to be specially affected by Etoninas) of leaving the bottom button of the waistcoat undone,
