The recent reappearance of the fashionable buttonhole,., more especially among middle-aged men, might well indicate a tendency toward brighter masculine .decoration. Both in tho city and the West End of London it is noticeable that this pleasant, if • oldfashioned, idea, which fell into "disuse nearly a decade ago, is regaining popularity. A sure indication pf the buttonhole revival is afforded by tho number of neat little nosegays to bo 'seen in tho black coats of any large suburban station. There is one man in South London who claims to haife worn a fresh buttonhole every day for the last 60 years. Ho probably has few rivals, though the late Mr Chamberlain's orchid- buttonholes were a famous complement to his monocle. Lord Lonsdale's favourite gardenia-is also well known. According to florists, the most popular buttonhole is the unobtrusive bunch of sweet-smelling violets.
