extremes. He must never forget that
he is gentleman. He must be unob-
trusive, while correct.
First, as to full dress, he should wear
black suit of plain cloth or worsted,
with low cut vest, expansive, snowy
shirt-bpsom, fastened with single
dull-gold stud, a standing collar with
broken points, and withdrawn tie.
The latest thing in studs, and fashion
that will probably obtain the coming
winter, is to have three pearl studs
fashioned to look like the pearl button
of our fathers. A very pretty style it
is, too. White silk vests have been
affected, but it is probable that they
are within of the day. For dinner
party or the theater one may substitute
black silk tie; never satin, black or
white. Gloves are coming in again.
A gentleman may 60 to a reception or
bail without them, but if he dances he
must surely wear white, pearl, or some
delicate shade. If he is inclined to be
a little fiashy they will be embroidered
with black.
If the objective point be the theater
or opera, an opera hat is the thing,
and is most convenient. 1t should
never, however, be carried into re-
ception, any more than should an over
coat The vests of an evening dress
are cut little broader to show more
shirt, but trifle higher. Colored
dress suits will not be introduced in
this country, as has been predicted.
The next dressy suit of a gentleman
is the four buttoned, double breasted
frock, commonly called the Prince AL
bert, with light trousers. When the
gentleman gets home from his business
he dons this garment with neat fiat
scarf of silk-again never satin. When
on the street in this costume silk hat
is invariably the rule. A Derby or
straw hat with a frock coat is decided
ly in bad taste, as is tile with sack
coat When on the street he will now
wear light overcoat, reaching to a
point above the knees, a coat of some
neutral gray or mixed goods. Then
with gloves, if with lady, he is dress
ed. The gloves to be worn are to be
much heavier, of dog-skin, and with
welted seams, without embroidered
backs. They are called ''chevrette or
cape gloves" If he is not with lady
gloves are optional. The frock made
black worstcd cloth is always correct.
Many. however, who can afford several
suits, wear for walking a frock of
brown or blue.
Then comes the morning coot, or
three and four buttoned cutaway.
These are made up in suits of gray or
mixed goods, when they generally
have pockets on the flaps. Otherwise,
black or blue coat is worn with light
trousers. With it can be worn either
q silk or derby hat The silk hat will
be of higher crown and narrower brim.
The Derby will be of very light weight
and will be generally black in color.
At the races and seashore tall white
hats will be tee rage. The white Der
by will not be common, though some
of dark gray will be worn. There will
be hardly any sale for felt hats. When
a gentleman wishes to 60 out in the
evening, in the rain, or to travel, in
stead of felt he will wear a Tweed
cloth hat, oftentimes of the same stuff
as his travelling suit.
Finally, his business or travelling
dress should consist of sack coat,
waistcoat and trousers from the same

ably more pronounced than those of
last season. Checks will be somewhat
the rage, though many will prefer the
more subdued patterns. A great
many rough grays have been imported
from Canada, as well as Scotch Tweeds
and English suitings. With it he
should wear dark scarf of some har-
monious shade. Narrow cuffs will be
worn, fastened by linked buttons, The
sack coats of the coming spring will fit
little closer to the body. They, as
well as the getaways, will roll little
more at the collar. displaying a trifie
more of shirt. The frock coat will be
the least bit shorter. Trousers will be
a little wider, not fitting tightly, but
still hanging in a shapely manner on
the leg.
For those who are particular, shirts
with collars and cuffs attached are in
vogue. Certainly for dress occasions,
when so much of the linen is visible.
much heater effect is obtained, there
being no movable joint between the
shirt and collar. Thus the tie can be
manipulated to much better advantage.
Closed standing collars have beer the
thing, out now fashion DEGREES that the
point shall he broken down. They
will be, moreover, rather higher than
formerly. No one who is not deform-
ed should wear the low collar
As any style becomes popular the
leaders of fashion drop it and adopt
something new, which is in its turn de-
posed. Oftentimes fashions are dis

which was discarded becoming the
chosen garment or cut. The foregoing
suggestions 2nd ideas may be followed
by the young man desiring to appear
in correct attire. -PkGid. Press.
