llALF-DREss OR MATINEE SUITS
Fine black vest of English cloth is the
chosen material for this purpose and the
coats are invariably lined with silk Or
satin, the breast-facing running out part
ly covering the lapels, and the edges of
the coat are bound with very narrow
silk braid. The vest is cut with neat
rolling collar, open to show about two
STUDS, with edges bouad to match the
coat. Pantaloons are Of small checks of
blue, or black and white striped cassi-
mere.
FULL DRESS SUITS.
The coat is now finished upon the edges
with a fine silk cord, and cut moderately
long, above tne bend Of the knee Of
course these are of broadclOth aud the
Innings are of rich materials, generally
of white or black satin, as the taste Of the
wearer may suggest. The VESTS cut low,
but straight, not scooped out as formerly,
tor the shirt-bosom must not show as
prominently as it did last season. The
doeskin pantaloons measure. for gentle
man five feet ten inches in height, about
twenty-inche knee and eighteen inches
around the bottom (this is in proportion),
worked with a moderate spring so as to
fall gracefully over the boot No stiffen-
ing is used in the bottoms.
OVER COATS.
The fall overcoat, applicable to any
suit, is made of dark mixtures or fine
diagonals; in fact, there is nothing in the
market specially for these overcoats. The
lapels are made perfectly soft, SO that they
will turn back with ease, giving stylish
roll, and the silk breast Innings are faced
out TO cover half the lapel. They are
tinlshad with velvet collar matching the
color of the coat, and the edges are bound
or stitched, according to the character of
the goods.
In winter overcoats there is very little
change, except they are not single
breasted, and in the matter OF length they
are shorter, measuring about one inch
below the knee. Velvet collars, with the
edges of the coat piped with velvet, will
be popular, giving a handsome, rich effect
to the garment, and the tacings chiefly
are Of matelasse. The cloths principally
used are Whitneys, Cronbie, Elysiums,
fur beavers, Meltons and Kerseys.
A novelty in oyercoats is the reversible |
Ulster. One side is OF heavy cloth OF
one color, and the opposite side shows q
subdued plaid. This will become popu
lar fayorite as the cold weather advances
with young men. It can be
worn with the plaid side for business and
turned for the evening, presenting a very
dressy effect.
FASHIONABLE SHOES.
The prevailing style OF gentlemen's
winter walking boots are calf, kid tops,
cut high in the ankle, either with elastic
sides or buttoned. They are seamless in
front, showing efectually the arch in the
instep; and when warmth is particularly
desired they are lined with chanois skin.
The "Nobbiest' shapes are made on the
Hapgood Spanish arch instep last, with
broad walking heels, wide, heavy double
soles, with waterproof sole placed be-
tween the inner and outer soles- sure
preventive to wet or cold feet. Where
heavy light shoe is desired the addition
of the cork sole is favorite.
Light or dress walking boots are very
much worn, made with cloth tops, match
ing the suit, and narrow English toes,
with Or without caps. lizard boxed''
toes are thing of the past, soft boz
ing now taking the lead, the the being
made very thick and narrow, the foot
extending to the end OF the shoe. The
soles are made heavy, with toe edges
