THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

THE ARMY "STAMP" GOES.

GUARDS DEPRIVED OF ONE "OF THEIR "FEATURES."

A change has come over the drill of the Army through the new order which forbids troops to stamp on parade while carrying out drill movements. The order was given because the authori- ties considered stamping jarred the men's nerves.

WHAT MEN SHOULD WEAR.

LATEST HOME FASHIONS DISCUSSED.

More overcoats will be double- breasted this winter than single, and more of both kinds will hang straight from the shoulders than fit the waist, though the long! skirts will be rather skimpy round the legs. The tendency is for rather lighter colours than usual to become fashionable, but only the more sporting costs will have any pattern in the cloth.

Rather soft, loosely woven ma- terials-thick, but not heavy-are coming into favour for double- breasted overcoats. Although air passes freely through them, they are quite warm, and their light weight makes them comfortable. The most noticeable change in cut, apart from the absence of shape at the waist, is in the length of the skirts.
