In the course of time a gentleman's
clothes press would become picture gal
lery that would afford him artistic de light
long after the trousers themselves had out
lived their usefulness as part of his wear
Ing gear.
For the present winter. however, the
conventional black will hold its own for
both full dress coat and trousers. The coat,
according to fashionable tailor, will be
cut with square shaped tail, but more mar
row at the bottom than last year. For
young men the material will invariably be
the popular cOrkScrew. The lapel is mar
rover than was the case last year and the
skirt is shorter. The silk facing is very
heavy, running back of the buttOnh0les.
For afternoon weddings and like Occa-
sons Prince Albert coat of blue corkscrew,
with trousers of drab, lavender or ecrll
tints will be au fat. The coat will be
heavily braided and silk faced. The skirt
will be short.

silk hat and carry cane to preserve the
proper harmony" He Thought it was as
incongruous and inartiStic for man to
wear SLOUGH hat with a Prince Albert
coat as for self-respectng clergyman to
appear in the pulpit in clerical coat, White

The fashionable trousers for this winter
are cut moderately tight about the hips and
thighs, tapering in fulnesS from the knees
down in about the proportion of Is inches
around the knee to 1634 at the bottom. A
quarterback silk braid runs down the side

IS thus obtained. the catching of the coat in
the front pockets being avoided.
The vest for very full dress is of white
satin: for ordinary full dress of still heavier
black satin. without collar and edged with
brad one-quarter inch wide. For dinners
and afternoon receptions the vest will be of
corkscrew or br9adcloth. to match the coat.

A chaste, plain white shirt or refined

give the chin rest A Fifth avenue ex-
quSite this winter will not have to climb
over his collar to see where he and his cane
are going. The snowy circle will be of
only moderate height and long enough to
lap well over.
Two studs, of either gold, pearl or dia-
monds, will ornament the shirt instead of
three as last year.
In shoes the proper thing will be patent
leather congress CATERS with serge or doe

cessity for pumps is thus done away with.
For half-dreSs patent leather with kanga-

The fashionable silk hat this year is more
pronouncedy bell-shaped than last years.
