i, CLOTHS AND TRIMMINGS.
.Singularly mafked and peculiar are the
fancy casslmeres for tho fall and winter
The bands for the outer seams of
pantaioons are strongly pronounced, and in
contrast rather in relief: but the importa-
tons from Elbpuf and Lyons; With some
Scotch samples of double twills, surpass
any styles heretofore, imported in, body,
texture. aud beauty Of tittA Stripes
plaids. and thread lines are the favorlte ng-
urs, all oEnamented or relieved with wide
borders in contrast.
Of these. the mulberry, Vankyke brown,
dark shades of olive green, blue aud black,
are the broads preferred. For business
and neglige, both the dressed and undress-
ed surfaces of the Elbpuf and Lyons twills,
both single and double milled; while for
morning overcoatings of the sacque genre,
tricot and tweads are preferred, though the
beavers are in most general wear.
Cassimeres, cashmeres, Valencias. figured
cut and uncut velvets, pushes, and elegant
reps, barithea, and figured silks. Valen-
cias in small, figures are among the most
attractive.
TRIMMINGS.
Braided edges were never more popular
than at present, while fine corded edge
with row of stitching back of it, is the
latest and best fabric for morning coats.
Reps aud surges for facing the breasts of
frocks and al double.breasted morning
coats out to the lapel seam, is in high
vogue. Cashmere vests, cut high and with
short roll. are trimmed with velvet collar
and breast facing; while the double-breast-
ed low roll collar vest is faced with velvet,
has velvet collar, and the edges are bound
ON the surface with velvet braid an inch
wide. Wide braid edges II the style for
morning and business vests. -.
Serges and Italian cloths for Innings,

travellers and con,fnissi0n0ises.
buTToNs, -,
The handmade needle button, silk OF
twist cover, of the watch shape, medium
size and to match, ispreferred for trimming
dne surfaced broads,. and for such cloths
narrow and fine braid edges are preferred.
GENERAL REMARKS. -,
The sombre costume Of the mourner,
which became 80 general and long. contin-
ued because of the wars in Europe and the
United States. has been superseded by
brilliant compositions in colors. rich goods
and chaste designs in figures and trimmings.
The blue dress coat, trimmed with gold
buttons, is the evening style for all select
parties. A white vest and black pantaloone
are worn with it, the latter cut half tight.
Mr.. Lester Wallack has adopted knee
breaches, black silk hose. and low shoes fol-
wear on selectparty occasions, with the blue
dress coat; and as man of genius, letters,
and cultivated taste, he is a very worthy
exemplar. y ri a.

BOOTS AND CATER SHOES.
The box toes seem the rage with young
men, but the style is being superseded b!
the usual square toes with rounded corners
The box toe is formed, by turning the in
sole up over the toe to hold the upper from
the toes, and thus protect them. It is .
good style for shooting wear. -.
