FULL DRESS FOR MEN.

~
Some New Points as 10 the Cut and
Finish OF the Evening Suit la
Mode.
Boston Herald.
The last authoritative report, giving III
minutest detail the proper manner of cut
ting the full evening dress suit, is MS fol-
lows: The length of the coat for man
standing feet 8 inches is 1S4 inches to
the waist and SO inches to the bottom of
the skirt. The back is cut with mod
erately high shoulder seam, n narrow
back soye, side seam moderately curved
and o width at the tack of l I inches. The
gorge should be cut slightly longer and
lower than for q double breasted frock
coat, and the lapels, which are light,
should be made considerably peaked.
They are spaced for five holes, and are
made to turn just above the second hole
from the bottom. The silk facing should
extend only to the end of the collar. The
lapels at the bottom are very slightly
rounded and the skirts at the hips are
turned very little, and OF the bottom they
are rounded even less. The edges are
bound with very narrow binding. The
sleeves are cut SO as to be shnpely, hay
ing but little tullness at the top, and are
made just large enough at the bottom to
enclose linked cuffs smoothly. They are
finished to initiate tolerably deep cuffs
and close with two holes and buttons
The fronts should just meet at the termi
nation of the roll when pressed close tC
the body, and below that point are vel
cut away.
The vest closes with four buttons sc
spaced that the opening corresponds witt
that Of the coat. The length should b.
the same as that of the coat to the bot
tom of the strap. The collar is SO curved
that the opening resembles a shield il
shape.
The trousers conform to the outline o
the leg in a more shapely manner thar
when made for business or day wear
The side seams should plain. They ar
well shaped over the calf and about tn
ankle, in order that upon the foot the.
may fall as smoothly as possible. Thu
pockets should be placed in the wais
seam.

A sweet Kiss at the Gate.

It was a fearful struggle. At last he
saw a chance and aimed at her rosy lips,
but she bobbed her head and the kiss fell
lifeless on the bridge of her nose. But
the villain still pursued her. He seized
her in vise-like grip and pinioned her
head fast against his stalwart breast, and
while the shimmering moonbeams cus'
their silvery glances at the graceful acre
age of her upturned face he implanted {
