trusive, while correct.
FIRST, rs to full dress. he should wear
black suit of plain cloth or worsted,
with low cut vest, expansive, snowy
shirt-bosom, fastened with q single
dull-gold stud, 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broken points, and withdrawn tie.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 go to reception or
bal without them, but if he dances he
must surely wear white, pearl, or some
delicate shade. Ii he is inclined to be
little fashy they VIII be embroidered
with black.
il 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 triilc higher. Colored
dress suits will not be introduced in
this country, as has been predicted.
The next dressy suit of q gentleman
is the four buttoneI, double breasted
frock, commonly called the Prince AL
bert, with light trousers. When the
gentleman gets home from his business
he dous this garment with q neat fiat
scarf of 81 k-again never satin. When
on the street in this costume silk hat
is invariably the rule. A Derby or
straw hat with Il frock coat is decided
" in bad taste, AS is a tile with sack
coat. When on the street he will now
wear light ovcrcoat, reaching to a
point above the knees, q coat of some
neutral gray or mixed goods. Then
with gloves, if with II lady, he is dress
ell. 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 g,ovcs.' Ii he is not with lady
gloves are optional. The frock made
black worsted 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,
n black or blue coat is worn with light
trousers. With it can be worn either
a 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 the 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
gentleman wishes TO go out in the
evening, i'll the rain, or to travel, in
stead of q felt he will wear a Tweed
cloth hat, oftentimes of the same stuff
as his travel NO suit.
Finally. his business or travelling
dress should consist of sack coat,
waiStcoat and trousers from the same
pattern. The styles will be consider
ally 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 be, II imported
from Canada, rs wei as Scotch Tweeds
and English sutings. With it he
should wear IL dark scarf of some har-
mon.ous 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
we'll rs the cutaways, will roll little
moro at the collar, displaying a trihe
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 Il shapeiy manner on
the ler.
For those who are particular, shirts
with collars and cuffs at.:c hed are in
vogue. Certainly for dress occasions.
when so much of the linen is visible, a
much neater effect is obtained, there
being no movable joint between the
shirt and collar. Thus tie tie can be
manipulated to much better advantage.
Closed standing collars have been the
thing. but now fashion DEGREES that the
point shall be broken Gown. They
VIII be, moreover, rather higher than
formerly. No one who is not deform-
Ell 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. Ottent;mcs fashions are Dis
covered to have moved in a circle, that
which was scarded becoming the
chosen garment or cut. Tie loregoing
