A GENTLEMAN'S RIDING DRESS.

This coat is quite new, and its excellence consists of its
being made with three lap-pels on each side, any one of
which can be buttoned, or left open at pleasure. The col-
lar is round and rolling, and has two rows of braid on the
edges, and fastened round the neck with a gold or diamond
button. The pantaloons are of kerseymere, and are made
tight as worn with Hessian boots. The waistcoat is of
hvender or dove coloured silk, the same colour as the
trowsers, and is made with a flat rolling collar to turn ever
and cross at the waist.

ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESSES.
Black and green, mingled, are the colours most in esti-
mation for dress and undress coats. The collar of the for-

ample at the top, cover the haunches. Coats are now
made without false pockets.

cravats made without a rosette have the lower end cut in
a point.
Gold buttons have been lately introdlyed for gentle—
men'F waistcoats, and are ornamented in .Parious pretty
devic.s. They also posicss a great advantage OM- those
rec:ntly worn, since they may be transferred at pleasm:
to another waistcoat ; a desirable fashion this, and one
that will, doubtless, become favoured by those of our beaux
who tind it convenient to unite economx with elegance.
Among the summer material, for gentlemen's wear,
white Marcella, Nankeen, and, above all, English jean,
both white and straw colour, are those which will be most
in favour.

A great number of pantaloons are composed of Carme-
lite cloth. The must novel colours for those composed of
kerseymere, are grey, or silver grey. They are always
half-tight, and fall square upon the angle. Those made
for riding, are composed of white daim or fancy colours.
The colour called veau is the most in favour. Some dandies
wear them under boots which reach half-way up the lea,
from large plaits on the instep, and are ornamented with
a gland of the form of an olive.
Pantaloons of Coutil de fil Min, are tolerated only till
a certain hour in the morning.
