ConoiGsiOa--Thus an American gentleman to
be always well dressed, needs simply three suits
of clothes, all OF which are toned 10 the three
coats mentoned-the cut-sway morning coat,
the Prince Albert walking or reception coat,
and the full dress evening coat.
IL win be seen that there is q strict CORES
~ uR n.
OF these styles of dress, and IL is in their aspta
ton to each other that the gentleman Is seen
through them all.
Bring 9 countryman to Saratoga in the season
and he will be very likely 70 make some such
mistake as the blowing Meeting gentleman

says, "Come now, that IL sensible, like that.

"Oh! hang il, why can't look like other folks?'s
These are the mistakes that both men and
women are constantly making. He might have.

ries. But il q gentleman wears a check or am

HOW SARATOGA LOOKS.
Saratoga was never more lovely than now.
The weather has not been too warm for enjoy
ment, yet IL is sufficiently TO admit of living
out OF doors, after the manner of watering
places. The races have greatly increased ths
number Of visitors and crowded the hotels !,
which, previously, were not filed To their ut
most capacity. great many cottages and hands
some private residences have been built in or
ne ar Saratoga recently. and the country for four
miles round Is beng rapidly bought up for thi =
| purpose, so that it, summer population is by no
means connned-as formerly-to the boarders
at hotels and private houses The entire neigh
borhood is full OF springs, and il is said 70 be-
possible for every family TO have one Of their
own, If they will only Dig for it.
The I" Geyser" and the :" Hathorn" are now
the popular wells, both possessing remarkabls
medicinal qualities. The hotels have increased
their size, and are probably as perfect i'm ar
rangement, method, cuisine aud appointments
as any in the world The a. Unionn has been
newly frescoed; fitted with elegant chandeliers
and other furnishings, since IL came into the
possession Of Mr.. A. T. Stewart; but he is not
yet satisfied, and intends-it is said-pulling
down the entire front and rebuilding il like
Congress Hall. The new Grand" Is very
imposing on the outside and richly appointed
within.
Nine. lie Vert gave a reading the other night
which drew ali the noted people-and the town
Is full Of them. II was = very successful and
brilliant affair, the lady having hosts of friends
who gladly listen to her interesting reminis-
cences OF the famous places she has visited and
the famous people she has known.
