Wear.
Lat season the order OF the day with
mems apparel was eraggeration. rms
sprine everything IL the revere. Coiors,
6cures and cuts are modified editions OF
foymer fashions. The plaids Of last year
have dwindled into neat little checks, saw
orine more Of the gentleman and less oil
tbe horse jockey. Stripes are narrower
and more subdued in tint, the favoriie
shsdes being drab and mouse, better
Known A mode color. Pantaloons are
larger NJ the bottoms, comfortable Mt the
knees, and every way thoroughly sensible
In cut. ,,,,.
Ra.r This in mind, and allow those awkard
src,esenccs which so deform this most
comnlicsted and beautiful piece Of natures
workmanship time to heal and vanish
FULL DRESS,
- usual, consists Of an entire black ruit.
To be really fsshionably presentable,
the coat must have the usual pointed
skirts.
WALKING COATS
are q suitable for the drawing room as
the street. These are made OF dark green,
brown or black diagonal cloth, and are
graceful in the extreme. Coat and vest
Of this material, with pants Of some quiet
shade, furnishes very becoming suit for
men who need no furbelows to improve
upon or cover up natures botch work.
Vests for business and the promenade do
not differ essentially from those worn dur
ing the Winter. For full dress the greater
part of shirt front is exposed, thus show
ing the diamond s,uds--which are so fash
ionable among all classes-politiclans
gamblers, gentlemen and lcafers. Shirt
bosoms are made with four or five plalts
on side, instead Of one or two wide ones
90 long in vogue. Cheviot linen is extern
sively used for every day wear.
The new style
SPRING ovERcoAT
IL the only article Of gentlemen's apparel
this Spring that can by any stretch of the
i'm. climatic be denominuied cloud These
are made Of light Melton or English tweed,
and are not intended to button. The
fronts are turned back full quarter of II
yard, and half this width faced with silka
shade lighter or darker than the material,
a. the taste Of the wearer may dictate. The
sleeves fit closely at the hand, but grSdG'-
all widen toward the elbow. This, worn
with a cut-away coat, which discloscs the
lower part Of the vest, and pair of pants
10 match the silk facing, may be consid-
cred stunning in the extreme. AS regards
neck gear, q gentleman can hardly be I'M
fashionable il he tries. Collars are rounded
and pointed and faring and wide and mar
row.
FoULARD sCARFs
are very much admired. These are four
or five inches in width and a yard ia
length and must be tied in handsome
bow knot to. be becoming. Large gold
studs will be worn by many at the neck
instead Of ties during warm weather.
WHITE LINEN SUITS.
This style Of dress has been subjected to
the same changes which have marked the
Improvement darker suits. and will b,
very much worn the coming season by
those who can afford them. Some Of III
sacks are made quite short, almost like
sailor JACKET; and III all cases, whateve
the cut of the outer garment, the skirts o
the aforesaid will be curtailed. Tn.
cleanliness of this style of wardrobe fur
nishes its chief attraction, A spot, or the
least dilapidation consequent upon atHios-
pheric changes, OF course condemns n
whole suit, whether one hour or one day.
A favorte style with some gentlemen is
70 bind these white suits with fine black
braid. This gives very gentlemanly fin
ish TO the toilette, which can be little
better explained by the the adjective mob.
BY" perhaps, than any other.
In conclusion, fashion this year walk,
hand-in-hand with common-sense, vita &
very few exceptions.
