ANNOUNCEMENT OF FALL STYLES |

ANNOUNCEMENT OF FALL STYLES!
We have to congratulate, our
selves upon the fortunate circum-
stances that the tickle Goddess Fash
ion has been lavish with her favors
and afforded us the means of
dressing so many figures stylis hly
and artistically. The numerous
styles which are popular are SO gen
orally effective and in such complete
harmony with the laws of taste, that
it is easy to make attractive groups
with each figure differently dressed,
without representing a doubtful
feature or an extravagant idea. The
fabrics, also, which will be popular
with the incoming season are beau
tiful, rich and varied in design.
FULL DRESS.
The regulation Swallow tail"
either with peaked lapels or shawl
roll, holds undisputed sway for even
ing dress. 1t is made of very fine
vale worsted, and has the edges
either corded or bound narrow, or of
fine light weight broadcloth, when
the edges are finished plain or with
cord.
FOR DAY DRESS,
There is but one style, and that's the
ble-breasted frock. It must be
made of narrow vale worsted, and
it should be black, though dark
shades Of colors are permissible.
HALF DRESS,
The leading coat for half dress is,
of course, the double breasted frock.
It closes with four buttons, and is
silk-faced either to lapel seam Or to
the end of tails The edges are flat,
braided moderately wide, and the
sleeves, which are ample, are fin
ished to initiate cuffs. Worsteds,
with narrow Or medium wales, in all
colors, shades and mixtures, are
generally used for these garments.
THE F0UR-BUTTON MORNING COAT
Or cutaway will, Of course, as for
many seasons past, continue the
most popular for half dress. 1t will
be made Of all sorts of material, and
in all sorts Of shades, colors and de-
signs, but black and dark shades of
quiet patterns will predominant.
A F0UR-BUTTON CUTAWAY
Which is decidedly new and hobby,
and which will undoubtedly win
fair share of popularity, varies from
the above, in that the fronts are
sharply cut away from the lower
button and form an angle with the
bottom of skirt. The back is pecu-
liar. The shoulder seams and the
side seams meet at the back pitch.
and the sleeve seam, which meets
them, Of course, forms a continuous
line with the shoulder seam. The
edges are flat, braided very wide.
THE ONE-BUTTON CUTAWAY
Is an inch shorter than the four, and
is moderately cutaway, with gen
tie curve from the closing button.
When made of anything except
black worsted it invariably has side
flaps, which the others do not have,
except the new -buttoner,
which usually has them, unless
made of narrow vale worsted. The
SINGLE BREASTED STRAIGHT FRONT
Frock is occasionally made, gener-
ally for elderly gentlemen, but
there is nothing new aboutlt, except
the usual lower roll for all single
breasted coats. The vest for any
morning coat is the same as for
half dress, as are also the trousers.
FOR BUSINESS WEAR,
Any of the styles suitable for half
dress are suitable, also, for business
purposes; but besides these, the sack
will be largely worn. It is emphat-
ically a business suit, and can be
worn for nothing else. Several
styles are popular, the favorite,
probably, being the straight front,
four button sack.
THE DOUBLE-BREASTED SACK,
AS the season advances, will likely
become popular 1t is very styl-
ish garment, and, so long as sacks
are worn, will undoubtedly com
mand a fair share of admirers.
VESTS AND TROUSERS.
Every man who desires to have a
fairly complete wardrobe should
have one or more fancy vests, and
that trousers should show a slight
crease back and front, as though
they had been folded, but it should
not be so distinct as to seem the re-
suit of pressing. The idea of the
crease is that it looks as though the
wearer kept his trousers packed flat
and had several pairs, or if he is
