cuIine Attire for the Winter.
AS the opening of the winter season
draws near what is to be the latest style In
masculine apparel increases daily as a mat
ter of interest among all men who wish to
dress we'll and correctly, and to be thor
oughly up in the very latest thing in the
matters of dress and etiquette. Each sue
ceeding season brings more or less changes
in these matters, sometimes comparatively
slight in themselves, and yet which involve
an enormous amount OF worry, discussion
and, in the aggregate, expense.
A visit of inspection recently paid to the
leading talOrS disclosed the fact that the
changes in mems fashions this year will be
very few. Mr.. Andrew j. COrmick says
that for dress suits fine diagonal cloths will
be used as last year. There is a growing
tendency to relieve the sOmbrenesS of the
dress suit by more or less elaboration of the
waistcoat. These will be worn with the
dress suit embroidered with fancy figures,
in coors. Black and white embroidered
waistcoats have taken very well also for
evening wear. Larger trousers will
be worn. They are now cut
2O-inch knee and 1S-inch bottom. The
tailless dress coat so much discussed was
started by the tailors. Whatever popular
itv it gained last summer will soon be for
gotten. 1t is not adapted to winter use.
In business suits the tendency is towards
four button cutaway frockS, sing le-breasted,
opening much lower than for many years
past. When admissible-tha is, when the
cloth will permit-the edges are stitched.
For afternoon receptions and day weddings
the old Prince AlbertS. or better. frOck
coats, will be worn. With these will go
outline striped trouserings and walStcoatS
of black, gray or blue.
Fall weight OvercOats are made this year
of black and gray diagOnals and meltons,
with welted seams and stitched edges. silk
facings to the extreme edge and soft roll
collar; winter OvercOatS of fur beavers,
eleiSons cursus, and metinac, single or
double-brested sacks. Heavy weight goods
are popular The nap of the fur beavers is
short. and the long-nap goods of former
seasons are not in favor. These goods are
piped with velvet, faced to the lapel and
have velvet collars.
Full dress shirts, SAYS Mr.. Rudd, will
have mostly three small studs, but some
| swells claim that the very correct thing
will be two studs. The single stud has
pretty well gone out. Dress suits will have
a single strip of French embroidery down
| the front, also white pea-ribbed ribs, run
ming up and down and crOSsways. Collars
and cuffs will be attached. Straight and
standing collars, with very little space,
will be worn, and square link cuffs. The
evening tie will be of white cambria
or null, one to one and one-half inches
wide, and must not be made up but tied by
oneself. Gloves will be worn on all Occa-
SiOns. Pearl. with broad black stitching
on back, will be correct for evening wear.
For day weddings. pearl gloves with
stitched back and tie of white ottoman silk
tied in four-in-hand knot should be worn.
Day scarfs will be the four and
made-up knots. either white or colOred.
Notwithstanding the efforts made to intro
duce last season the once popular and
always convenient opera, they will not be
worn this winter; the high and inapprOpri-
ate silk hat being carried at opera and
wherever possible in their place.
