Latest Modes for Gentlemen.

In silk hats the bell crown is worn il
two heights, both lower than last season
and with heavy rolling brim. For mid.
dle-aged and old men the fiat top o.
square ccrnered black Derby will be
worn. Derbys for young men are in
three nights. The crowns are rounding
and the brims curled heavily as in silk
hats.
| In evening dress suits the swallow-tail
coat is made from black West of England
cloth or fine Wales worsteds. There is
very little change to note in their con-
struction. The collar and lapels are cut
narrower; the roll not quite so extended;
the skirt little shorter. Both shawl
and notched collars are worn, and silk
facings are decidedly the choice. The
vests are cut to button four buttons. with
rolling collars. The trousers are cut quite
close to the form of the leg. Pumps
or low cut shoes, made from patent
leather, and colored silk stockings, are
very generally worn for evening parties
and weddings.
For demi-dress suits the double-breast-
ed frock-coat, of, as it is sometimes
called, the Prince Albert, is used in
making morning calls, promenading, and
in some cases at weddings, especially
when the bride is dressed in travelling
costume. These coats are made in all
kinds of cloths and worsteds, with silk
facings and edges bound with satin ga
loon binding. Very many stylish young
men wear colored worsteds made into
double-breasted frock-coats. The colors
most in demand are brown-grays and
olives.
Under the head of walking-coat suits
come the single breasted cutaway coats,
one, three, four and five buttons. They
are made of worsted, cashmere, and
Scotch suitings. The edges are bound or
double-stitched narrow. The waist re-
main about the same length, but the
skirts are longer than last season.
Business-suits are also made with the
aforementioned form of coats, but the
single-breasted sacque-coat is the most
universally worn. All coats outline the
figure closely at the back, especially
those intended for full and half-dress.
The number of buttons is limited to four
on most coats.
IiOuscIo COHtiHue W Dc Cut uedTly ShlH
tight, with tendency to a slight increase
at no distant day. Trouserings are
mostly fine stripes, with an occasional
check or plaid. Dress-trousers are
finished at the side seams with fine cord
either laid on or simulated. They are
cut in about the same proportionshs for
ordinary wear.
Vests are cut straight across at the
bottom, quite short, single-breasted, and
buttoned up high, without collar or with
a small rolling collar. Coats and vests
are finished with flat bindings at the
edges.
In overcoats the single and double
breasted over-sacque, and also single and
double breasted surtouts, will be worn.
The coat most generally worn will be the
single-breasted sacque. The single
breasted surtout, with very long skirt.
will take the place of the ulster to great
degree. AT present it is much worn by
club men rs an evening overgarment.
Overcoats for winter will be made from
Montagnas, Sedans, Sardinians, Elysians
and fur beavers. Overcoats for fall will
be made from colored worsteds, Melton,
and Kerseys of medium weight. Plaid
satin Innings for overcoats are among the
extreme novelties.-N. Y. Herald.
