About Gentlemen's Fashions What
10 Wear and How to Wear it,

IDe most noticeable feature this season
in gentlemen's styles is the preponderance
of light and delicate shades. The dark
and sombre hues which hitherto have
been the only mode, seem to have given
way, and are superseded by light and
fanciful tints. The men appear to have
borrowed sfrom the opposite sex, and
seem to be trying to emulate them in the
display Of color. There is comparatively
but little change in the cut and fashions
Of garments, unless it be that they ap.
proach nearer to perfect elegance in
form as well as color.
PROMENADE SUITS.
In this department of dress there have
been some very pretty changes, and
many Of the styles exhibited are very
elegant Goats are worn with larger
rolling collar than least season, and with
two buttons worn closed, which displays
the set Of the garment very nicely.
Melton cloth is still the favorite material.
The light and deep drab. The fine tex
tiles and delicate tints Of the new light
sack overcoats are also very attractive.
The collar is Of velvet of the same shade
rs the coat. with Innings and facings Of
rich ribbed silk, the coat to be worn loose
and open in front.
PANTALooNs AND VEST.
The style Of pantaloons have altered
more this season than any other. article
of gentlemen's dress, although light
colors are still the iavorites. The tints
most in vogue are delicate shades Of drab,
lavender, pearl, cream and oak, with an
indistinct stripe Of slightly darker shade.
In cut they are much larger, especially
at the knees, than those worn last season.
Singlebreasted vests have superseded the
bouble.breasted pattern. They are cut
much longer than heretofore, and worn
with three pearl buttons, or whatever
other styles suit the fancy. White duck
seems to be the prevailing material.
BUSINESS SUITS.
There Is much latitude in business
suits, and the variety in material and
color is almost endless. One Is really
surprised at the number Of elegant modes
presented. The tavorite style, however,
seems to be pantaloons of light, medium
color, with coat and vest OF dark cloth.
This forms a very elegant, and nj the same
time serviceable suit for business purpo.
ses. Very handsome shades Of drab,
green and brown are also seen. Diago.
nails are the most fashionable for street
and office wear. Gray is the only color
allowable for travelling.
OTHER FASHIONS.
Breakfast jackets are more In vogue
than ever, and are now considered an in-
dispensable adjunct to q fashionable's
dress. The prevailing mode this spring
Is fine cashmere, ,@of heavy. corded silk,
lined with rich tatteta and trimmed with
silk cord.
Collars and cuffs are increased in size,
the most fashionable style being the
Scar" This mode presents quite an ex-
tended variety, with the tips Of the collars
turned down and truncated cuff corners.
The style is more appropriate, however,
for dress than business. The Monarch
collar is more suitable for everyday
toilet.

ry wear, are made plain, with wide
pl0its, Fancy worked bosoms are allow.
able only for Snobs at the seaside, and the
Charles Augustuses ut Saratoga.

seems to have run wild, and the variety
in color and form is absolutely bewilder'
