DAY DRESS su1rs.

! DAY DRESS SUITS.
| The four-button cut-away coat and the
double breasted frock- coat are now con-
sidered equally correct as parts of day
dress suits, to be worn upon any occasion.
While it is matter of individual choice
which of these coats is selected, very
fashionable young men prefer the cut-a-
| way coat, and tailors commend it even
for the bride groom at day weddings.
The Prince Albert double breasted frock-
coat is. however, by no means given up
by young men, while it is altogether used
by those more elderly. The material
used is black or very dark blue cloth, or
else fine diagonals. The cut-away coat
| is longer than it was last season, and its
edges are finished with narrow braid.
The vest is of the same material, or of
fancy cashmere, or of linen duck. The
trousers are of dark striped cloth, or
of plaids in lighter colors.
VESTS.
The English fashion of wearing a vest
of different material from the coat, has
found favor here, especially for the sum-
mer.
| Fanciful, small-fgured patterns are
chosen for vests to use with various SUITS
To wear with the cut-away coats just
described, are linen duck vests of white
or cream color, dotted with red, blue,
or black, and made single breasted, with
revers collar. Plain white duck
vests made double-breasted, are to wear
with double breasted frock-coats. White
Marsailles vests, cut very low, are fash
ionable with the swallow-tail coat of even
ing suits.
EVENING SUITS.
| Evening suits are made of black
worsteds" that are finer and of less
weight than broadcloth the latter is now
used only by elderly men.
There is no change in the shape of the
swallow-tail coat of this suit; it is cut
very low and open, and has silk facings
and corded edges the white vests worn
with this, are described in the paragraph
above.
The trousers, of the material of the
coat, are cut wider than formerly, and
are finished with silk stripe on the
sides.
Shirts, collars and cuffs. Shirt fronts.
are made of three, and sometimes four
thickness of linen, made as smooth and
single stud.
Standing collars are worn rather low
er, and have the corners turned over in
points. in English ssyle. There are also
various standing collars that meet, while
others lap, and some do not come quite
together. Straight cuffs with linked
sleeve buttons are worn.
SCARFs AND NECKTIEs.
Lighter scarfs are worn as the weather
grows warmer. They are made very
small, and either pulled or folded fatty
or else tied in sailor knot. The novel
ty for these is in the use of figured India
Silks in the cream, white, and navy blue
grounds, so popular for ladies dresses.
The "Teck scarf, like a slender
knot, is made up of dark satins with
hair-line stripes. The narrow-folded
Harvard ties are made of dark or light
figured silks. Pique scarfs are shown
for midsummer. White lawn ties, mar
rowly folded are used with evening dress
suits.

Handkerchiefs have narrow hens with
an embroidered monogram or initial for
incest wear, while those for general use
have stripes, bars, or figures on the hem.
White silk handkerchiefs have borders
dotted with color, and the handsomest
have hem with vine of white embr6id-
cry above it.

Tan.colored, undressed kid gloves are
worn by men of fashion. They are of
heavier quality than ladies suede gloves,

ishable straw will be little used.

and hats made of cloth with gored
crown and double visor, suitable for
travelling and country wear.

has done away with the narrow-pointed
shoes that tight trousers brought into
vogue.
