THE MAN OF FASHION.
What the Tailors Prescribe as Ills
Outfit the Coming Season.
THE CREASE IN THE COAT.SLEEvE.
One Of the Novelties This Fall Is q Full
Dress Suit in Grey
ACCESSORIES OF PROPER COSTUMES

The effort of the English tailors to apply
the fashion of creasing trousers to the coat
sleeves does not seem to take we'll among
the American directors of fashion. They
claim that a creased coat sleeve will have a
most ungamely ami awkward appearance.
The English tailors, however, persist that
the tendency OF the style is to have every
thing look just as if it had come out of a
store. This is rather depression from the old
idea Formerly when a man bought a
ready-made suit the first thing he did was to
have every crease pressed out of it.
Another novelty of this season is a grey
full dress suit made of undress worsted OF
late years the men of fashion have been
getting away from the old stereotvped
styles of full dress costumes. The shape OF
the collar has been changed several times
AMI various other minor points, but the
most startling innovation was the intro
duction of the Tuxedo. But this style of
coat did not come into public favor as it
was thought it would, though it is now
worn in good form at thea;ers, clubs and in
fact any place when ladies are not in the
company, but its use is not general By any
means The introduction of grey as the
color of the evening dress will doubtless
meet with no more favor
Short Waists and Long skirts.
The tendency this season in the making
Of coats is to have very short waists and ex-
tremelv long skirts The cutaway coat is
not so much in favor as it has been hereto
fore, although it will have a great many
admirers. The most proper caper for
morning wear is the doube-breasted sack
cut shapelv to the back and OF good length
II should be made of soft material in grey,
blue or black. The fayorte Tor Sunday
and afternoon wear will be the Beau Brum-
mel double-breasted froc& with very short
waist fitting to the figure closely and ex-
tremely long skirts. OF course, the only
proper headgear to be worn with this is
high silk hat The most stylish has q very
decided bell, approaching the shape of
Grandpa" Harrison's hat A crook cane.
with little or no silver, should be carried
with this outfit.
In overcoats the newest thing is the
surtout, being the old Newmarket, which
was so popular some time ago, with few
improvements The lappels are very large,
ana 1t has a velvet collar, short waist and
skirts down to the heels. The ultras will
also add velvet cuffs AZ inches deep.
The waterproof tan shoe will be worn a
great deal for street wear during the winter.
1t is very comfortable and prevents many
cold when one has 10 tramp through the
snow and SluSh. The extremes are wearing
patent leather button shoe for evening,
hut the Blucher is still rs popular as ever in
all kinds of leather.
The Details of the Costume.
Scarf pins are little in favor among the |
men o. fashion and are extremely small |
The pin n"y be worn in any part of the tie |
the wearer may please. Watch chains are |
worn straight across from p ncket to pocket,
without charms or hangers. In ties the
iouT-ln-hand viii be worn more than any |
other style. The Ascot tie is an article ior |
the man who has more time than money!
but II the tying is properly learned, il |
should be done as quickly as with a fourth !
hand.
The newest feature in cane is one made |
OF black malacca wood with a ball ton This |
i or evening wear and with the lony cape |
buckled az the chin which is being worn Tor !
& cover makes a good effect This ball ton
effect is carried into umbrellas.
The point for man who wants to be
fashionable TO have before him is to look as
new as possible.
