MORNING SUITS. 4Hsssa
For suits to be worn in the morning
there are coats of dark blue or black
diagonal cloth, made in single breasted
four-buttoned cut-away style, and worn
with gray trousers. Such suits are
worn to church By young men, and are
occasionally seen at afternoon we'd
dings. Indeed, at recent afternoon
church marriage, the groom and two oil
his ushers were dressed in this way,
while the six other attendants wore
Prince Albert frock-coats.
DRESS SUITS FOR DAY AND EVENING. =
Some variety is given to day dress
suits by the use of much lighter trou-
sers than have been worn for several
years. The Goat. in the long double
breasted frock style known, as the
Prince Albert, is made. OF black diago-
nal or s.corkscrew" cloth. with the vest
. TO match. The light trousers are gray
or brown, in small. narrow lines or UNI
defined checks. There is an edort to
introduce white MarseilIes vests with
these suits, and also with the cut-away
coats that Englishmen have made so
popular here. Prince Albert frock
suits made entirely of gray diagonal
cloth in several different shades are
now in vogue for the street. for driving,
the races, and have also been worn by
the guests at fashionable day weddings.
There is no change in the style of even
ing dress suits. They are still made of
broadcloth, though many young meh
prefer the ''corkscrew" cloths that have
no lustre, and they wear sometimes. for
variety's sake, a vest of white Mar
settles, or else they follow the English
fancy, and have the low-cut waistcoat
of rich white silk fastened by antique
silver buttons. ,-
SHIRTS, CUFFS, AND COLLARS. y
Shirt bosoms remain very plain, and
are made of three or even four thick
nesses of linen, and as they are not
now visible with fashionably cut coats,
except in the evening, laundresses are
instructed to put very little starch. in.
those worn in the daytime. Fque
shirt bosoms and collars are used with
morning coats; these are the repped
piques, or else they have small spots.
Percale shirts for morning and for trav-
cling are in rather snowy colors. such
as pink, porcelain blue and buff. and
are worn with white collars. Shirts to
be worn with low vests of evening suits
may be as plain as those worn in the
morning, but they may also have small
embroidered dots all over them, One
large iewelled stud is worn with eve-s
ming shirts, but shirts for morning wear
have two sets of eyelets for studs
Standing collars are still very high,
measuring two and one-fourth inches in
height. and are fastened by one or BY
two collar-buttons. The English collar
with turned-over points in front is
again in fashion; these may have
either large or small points, and there
is point of the linen cut in each side
to lap on the narrow cravat and hold it
down. The few turned down collars
worn are very narrow, and have an
inch-wide space in front. Cuffs are
broad, and have square corners that
meet when fastened by linked sleeve
buttons. Night-shirts have open Ham
burg work or else colored embroidery
on the collars, cuffs and in two rows ON
the front; they cost $3.50 or $4.CO each.
sCARFs. -
Scarfs are worn in lighter colors than
formerly, and are quite narrow, with
pulled or folded fronts, or else they are
tied by the wearer in sailor knot
The favorite with young men of ashton
is the London Club scarf, that is very
narrow around the neck, but is wider at
the ends, where it is to be tied in
knot. These come in white
silk for weddings, and in pale
shades of straw-color, buff, blue or
brown satin. and for more general wear
with line stripes of color on white, or
else with dots or very small blocks.
Dark 81 arts are still worn with morn
ing suits, and conservative men prefer
them for many occasions. White mus
lin neck-t:es narrowly folded are still
used with evening suits. sae
~ HOSIERY.
Lighter colors are being used for hos
iery, such as slate, drab, mushroom
browns, and sage-colors. These are
plain, not striped, and are clicked with
the same or contrasting color. Turkey
red socks are still worn. but card nal
reds of thel deepest shades are more
liked. Black and navy blue silk or Bal
briggan socks are. worn with dress suits.
The ribbed silk socks are in great
favor.
Chevrette gloves fastened by two
buttons, and with three rows of broad
stitching ON the back, are worn in the
street and at church. Roman red, tan,
and drab are the colors for general
wear, while ushers and fashionable men |
at weddings have returned to pearl and
lavender gloves stitched with black. |
EPSON TAM gloves of heavy skins
with Tapped seams are worn for driv-
ng.
