suits, to say nothing of hats, canes and
| jewelry. Even a partial failure at Iroduc-
ing original effects cannot but tell against
ones reputation. The dude who dresses
| like another dude, according to dictum
the tAlors have, is no dude at all. He must
be either ''sui generis" or dead loss. There
Is no midway ground.
THE COST OF IT ALL.
In regard to the matter of outlay, it is
impossible to give more than comparative
| figures By exercising the very closest econ
| omy, the New York dude will require at
least $500 to keep his end up from now until
the winter fashions set in. II be is extrav-
| agant and INDUCES freely in jewels he can
easily dispose of 5000 within that time.
The Same ratio will hold good for the re-
| manning three seasons of the year, making
a round budget of from $4,000 to $20,0
| per annum 1t is said. however that not
more than six men in New York expend
| 1000 for wearing apparel and tinery. The
| average swell dresser keeps his expenses
| down to about So, 900 year. The expenses
of Boston dude are considerably less. In
Philadelphia, Baltimore or Chicago a man
| can make a splendid impression on 81, 800
| year.
| NECESSARY OUTFIT.
| With the aid of two designers the writer
| figured out schedule of dress which might
be followed with perfect safety by any dude
| in the land. This fall the three-button cut
away coat is the jauntiest thing out. One
| of these garments made of wiGe-wale blue
| imported diagonal with haad-embroidered
| satin lining and trimmed with wide Indian
| silk braid would be poem in cloth.
| The trousers to match this suit could be of
| clearinghouse Cashmere with alternating
! three-quarter inch stripes of gray ,seal-brown
and pea green. The trousers should meas
| ure % inches at the knee end tribe more
| at the instep. An imported ElgllS1 derby
| of the block known as the "tottie" would lie
the proper hat to wear. The shoes should
he light, buttoned CATERS os Frenc h calf
| For an overcoat perhaps maroon Melton
| would be the most stylish. 1t should ex-
tend to within o inches of the knee, have
| shawl roll collar and be lined through with
heavy ribbed silk to harmonic with the
shade of the garment. This suit rightly
| made would cost about $500.
AS TO sUsPENDERs.
1t has been said that the suspenders more
| than any other article of wear designate
| the dude. The manufacturers of braces
| this season have spared no pains TO produce
| the highest art effects possible of attain
ment The newest fad in this line is green
| ground of satin delicately sprinkled with
| hand-painted infants heads. The buckle
| should be of gold or hammered silver. Ga
|
| near the heart, is Tiny pocket in which to
keep a lock of hair of the wearers lady
love. 1t is also in good form to have the
| monogram of ones sweetheart embroidered
on the suspender ends Several New York
dudes are able to lay claim to the distinc-
ton of never having worn purchased sus-
penders. They are supplied with dainty
specimens of handiwork fresh from the far
fingers of their sweethearts. In the case of
young men who have made innumerable
conquests among the genie sex their supply
of suspenders is varied and extensive
HANDKERCHIEFs AND TIES.
What manner of handkerchief should
| dude wear this season. The most stylish
are of white silk on which is hand-palnted
or embroidered the face of the wearerS Le-
trothed in light blue or powdered brick
shades. These, like the suspenders, should
be decorated by the young ladies them
selves. The figures of actresses i'll grotesque
costumes may be substituted for the sake Of
variety. HandkerchIefs of this sort come as
high rs SO each, although inferior styles
may be mad for less than half tlat amount.
White linen handkerc chiefs, containing en-
broidered flowers or animals, also in white,
are considered very fashionable. The
| proper collar to wear is a closeftting
'stand-up," with slightly rounded points.
CJllars are worn pretty high by loud
| dressers Cuffs should be large and cut dia-
| mond-Shape.
Even a dude would hardly be permitted
TO ignore the prevailing shapes in neck
wear. but he can give full fling to his fancy
in the matter of colors. The broad puff is
the freak or the moment. A deep-blue
tone, fringed with an inch-wide str pc of
saffron, would create a stunning impression
with the outfit described above. A sill mob
bier effect would be a ground of gold be-
sprinkled with clusters of light-blue grapes.
| A heavy solitaire pin, set in Invisible gold
wire, would be the article to wear with such
a scarf. A few of the Understandable will
wear two scarf pius one in plain gold and
the other jewel set in finely twisted gold
cable. A unique design would be the wear
| er'S monogram In geld incased In heart of
| diamonds.
| JEwELRY AND CANES.
No one will have the least temerity about
indulging fancy for jewelry. 1t can be
as loud as any heart could desire, provided
too much is not worn at once. Chain cuff
buttons are the acceptable style, although
the old-fashioned clasped variety in quaint
designs can be used. A plain gold plate, as
large as a cent, in the center of which re-
poses diamond, is correct fad for a swell
dresser.
| TOP-CoAT AND GLOVES.
With a maroon-colored overcoat, the
proper gloves to wear are the London tan
with silk fouchettes Mahogany hues are
also permissible. These gloves should close
with three silver buttons contaiDg the wear
er's monogram. The embroidery on the
back should be very wide, of hue to match
the glove, or else in black, with spear-point
stitching. Gloves of this variety cost from
81 80 to $40 pair. Cheaper ones would be
entirely out of keeping with the character
of a man whose constant aim Is to dress
