! had his hats made on a special block in
 our establishment, and so did S. s. Sands. A good many young men who are included l among the swells have recently had special
 blocks made. If a man wanted 1t we could make any kind of hat for him As a matter of fact we now keep in our ready made stock moro than a dozen styles, in- cluding soft hats and stiff hats" A fashionable shoemaker said there nev- CT has been 6 time when so many different shapes in shoes were considered stylish. Shoes are made after London, Paris and Vienna models. and on great many diff ferent lasts. Stylish shoes are made with square, round or pointed toes. They are made either narrow or wide in shape. Ii is not question of style any longer, but only one of individual preference The only demand made by fashion is that the shoe shall be neat and good fit.
 The tailor, too. denied that fashion ruled the roost to the exclusion of aIl in dividual taste. The well-dressed man. he said, was the one who knew how to wear clothes that looked well upon him. Even the little details which formerly distin- guished the swell from the ordinarily dressed man are no longer so uniform as they used to be. To be sure. the we'll dressed man wears a cuff to his coat sleeve, but whether there shall be two or three buttons, or even more, is left to his own selection. He could wear his coat padded or not, as he desired. And even a dress coat, in which uniformity would seen to be most required, may be made in number of different styles, while the most typical swells are advocating even greater liberty in the designs.
 "The one thing" said the tailor who was applied to, (which distinguishes a gentleman of fashion is the individuality in the finishing. There are little things in the swelrs coat that seem to make it more elegant than the coat of man who does not pay so much attention to his dress, although both may have cost exact ly the same money to make"
 Several of the recognized high-toned furnishing goods stores were visited by the reporter. At all of them he was in formed that there never was time when so many different styles of scarfs, shirts and collars were made. No one was more stylish than the others, however, and the purchaser of any of them could rest as- sured that he was ss well dressed, as far as these particular articles of wear were concerned, as the greatest swell in town SUGGESTIONS FOR BRIDES.
 What the Dress should Re and How the Veil Should He Arranged. From time immemorial the brides gown has been white; and if one conld only have a simple muslin frock it seems as if it ought to be of that pure tone, because her own heart is thought to be as clean and
 white as is her gown. The white gown and the orange blossoms are the privilegeof
 the bride, and even if she has to econo-
 mize and give up another gown can quite appreciate the feelings of the girl
 who insists on the white satin. the bios soms and the tulls veil. She can never wear this costume but once in her life, for after she has become A wife roses must take the place of the orange blossoms and the tulle veil is never again assumed Heavy, white corded silk, white velvet. white broeade, white mousseline de soie are all shown for the brides gown: but the real wedding material is white satin True, it grows yellow with age, as does ivory; but if love is young in the heart there will be the same delight in looking at the folds in the wedding gown that there is in recalling the wedding day
 4 widow who is being married for the second time may wear any color she wishes if she is in travelling costume. but in full dress she must have either pale gray or mauve, or, if she prefers, some other be coming color, but never white; nor should she wear orange blossoms Roses, daisies or whatever flower is suited to the shade of her frock are proper, but the white, sweet smelling blossom belongs entirely 10 the young girl.
 Somebody asks how 10 arrange d veil and how far it should extend You can not buy 8 veil by inc yard-that is to say. you cannot tell how much you need The proper way is to have the storekecuer send piece of tulle and then drape it on the brides head. It should fall well over her train, though not beyond it, and should reach the edge Of the skirt in front. The orange blossoms are put on so that they are only visible after the veil is thrown back, which ceremony should be performed by two of the bridesmaids when the newly made husband leans forward to kiss the bride.
 In all large cities there are hair dressers who make a business of arranging brides veils, but in smaller ones these helpful people are not always to be found: So just remember in putting it on that while it is light as air it still must be firmly pinned in position, and the orange blossoms well in place, so that when the front part is thrown back they will present perfectly well arranged appearance.
 If one wished tulle could be substituted for the pearl decoration on the costume pictured, and it would, of course, make it much less expensive. By the bye, it should always be remembered that no matter how beautiful the neck and arms | of bride are, she is shining against good form who does not have a high neck and | long sleeved bodice, for it must be remem- bered that she is not going 10 dance or a | reception, but to religious ceremony that l means the joy or misery of her future life,
 and, while everything may be as merry as a marriage bell, in the brides frock there ! should be an expression of her knowledge | of that which she is undertaking.-Mrs.
