Fashions for Gentlemen.
Nsir York Herald.

In silk hats the bell crown is worn in
two heights, both lower than last sea-
son, and with heavy rolling brim. For
middlc-aged and old men the fiat top or
Square-cOrnered black Derby will be
worn. Derby for young are in three
heights. The crowns are rounding, and
the brims cuTled 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 construction. The collar and
lapels are cut narrower, the roll not so
extended, the skirt a 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-dTeSS suits the double
breasted frOck coat, or, as it Is some
times called, the Prince Albert, is used
in making morning calls, prOmenading,
and, i'm some cases, at weddings, espe-
cially when the bride is dressed in trav-
cling costume. These coats are made
i'm all kinds Of cloths and worsteds, with
silks facings and edges bound with
satin galoOn binding. Very many styl-
ish young men wear cOlOred wOrsteds
made into double breasted frock coats.
The cOlOrS most in demand are browns,
grays and olives.
Under the head of walking coat suits,

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
remains about the same length, but the
skirts are longer than last season.
Business suits are also made with the
above mentioned 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.
Trousers continue to be cut nearly
skin tight, with a tendency to slight
increase at no distant day. Trousenngs
are mostly fine stripes, with an occa-
sional check or plaid. Dress trousers
are finished at she side seams with fine
cord either laid on or simulated. They
are cut in about the same proportions
a. for ordinary wear.
Vests are cuts straight across ut the
bottom, quite short, single breasted, and
buttOned up high, without collar. Coats
and vests are finished with flat bindings
at the edges.
In overcoats the single and double
breasted OversacQue, 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 a
great degree. AT present it is much
worn by club men as an evening over
garment. OvercOats for winter will be
made from Montagnas, Sedans, Sar-
dinians, ElysianS and fur beavers. Over
coats for fall will be made from COlOred
wOrsted, Melton and Kerseys of medium
weight. Plaid satin Innings for over
coats are among the extreme novelties.
