WHAT DRESSY MEN WILL WEAR.

From the New York Com mercial Advertiser.
Tweed Is the thing for lounging jackets, though
alpaca will be admissible as summer comes on
No good dresser now wears tight gloves; BY con.
sequence, ~ Is the smallest size kept by some very
tony houses.
For evening white gloves are pardonable, but
pale primrose or paler lavender is far and away
better style.
In Paris We are told there Is strenuous effort to
revive kneebreeches, silk stockings, low shoes and
High authority asseverates that many American
practice is Increasing.
Round collar and cur ends are hopelessly rasse,
and square ones TO achieve the heighth OF style
must be artlstically turned down.
Very choice and new silk handKerchiefs have
centers OF solid neutral English twill with bright
or figured borders two inches WIDE
Many percale shirts are rainbow-hued yet quiet,
and inodesty elegant ones can be found for those
who will not bow down TO the glaring Baal
English f1annels for tennis wear come in inch
square plaids OF black, with white, red brown old
gold or orange and are made up with caps to
Spring neckwear, too, approaches the norid
gothic-embraciug. as 1t does all light, bright and
staring tones OF color, with pronounce. not TO say
Flannel shirts will be more worn than ever. and
the favorite stun for them Is the fine English
twill-white ground with polka dot OF red, black,
brown or blue.
New linen handkerchiefs have e!ghth-inch hens
either OF solid cOors or striped or cross-bar red or
else the border is Two inches wide with emhr0id
cred dots at the corners.
A noted mems furnisher says that Wall street
men are the most brilliant dresSers with whom he
has to do, and actors and gilt-edge clergymen the
most fuSSy and "hnniky."
White collars and cuffs will again be worn with
fancy shirts, and fine linen embroidery stiIl pre
walls In iull dress, though The common grades are
sent hOpeleSsly to Coventry.
What are we coming to? We write IL In

Thoughts in n Library.

Speak low! Tread softly through these halls;
Here Genius lives ensnrined;
Here reign in silent majesty
The nOnarchs OF the mind.
A mighty spirit-host, they come
From every age and cline;
Above the buried wrecks of years
They breast the tide OF Time.
And in their presence-ehanber here
They hold their regal state,
And round them ihrony noble train,
The gifted AID the great.
o. child of earth, when round thy path
The storms Of lite arse.
And when thy brothers pass thee by
With stern uuloying eyes,
Here shall the poets chant for thee
Their sweetest loftiest lays.
And prophets wait to guide thy steps
il wisdou'5 pleasant ways.
Come. with these God-anointel kings
lie thou companion here;
And il the mighty realiu Of mind
Thou shalt 80 forth peer!
