FRocH-coAT SUMS
Afternoon suits, to be worn when
making calls, at day receptions, and by
the groom, ushers and guests At day;
weddings, have n double breasted frock-
coat Of black Thibet, cheyiot, or vicuna
cloth. Very fashionable young men
wear this coat short in the waist, with
long skirt reaching to the knee or be-
low, but conservative men object to
this extreme style, and advise the
waist OF natural length, with skirt
stopping above the knee; his coat is
fastened by three buttons, and has
rather broad lapels faced with silk.
EVENING SUITS.
Rough, dull, unfinished black worsteds
are used throughout for evening suits.
A double-b breasted white Marseilles vest
is usually added for summer wear.
There is not the slightest change in the
cut or finish Of such suits.
Spring and summer oyercoats are
breasted fiy-front sacks IN shape,
cut in fair length TO cover the elongated
skirts of coats beneath them. They are
mostly made Of tho covert coating
which sheds dust and stands the hard
wear OF travel; others are Of dark gray
goods, and Of black Angolas and Thibet
cloth faced with silk.
TENNIS AND OFFICE COATS.
Tennis and Office coats are no longer
made of the bright glazing colors that
have been in favor, but are OF quiet,
modest gray and blush shades in
striped and checked fannels.
White linen shirt bosoms for day or
evening wear retain the shield shape OF
three or four plain thicknesses of linen.
Embroidery is now little used on
bosoms of dress shirts. The newest
linen collars are standing bands but
toned closely and slightly turned over
at the top; but the popular collar is
self-rolling, with the corners to be bro
ken over little or much, as the wearer
finds becoming.
scARFs.
A new scarf is shaped like four-in-
hand, with one loose spreading end, tho
whole to be tied in small knot close
to the throat They are principally Of
light-colored foulards and Of repped silk
OF pale tints. Blue, pink and hello
trope scaris will also be much worn,
and red scarfs arc thought especially
stylish with the very light suits now in
vogue. At day weddings white twilled
silk or Grape scarfs, either plain or
figured, are worn by the groom, the
ushers and the guests. Apretty novelty,
to be worn alike by ladies and men in
the summer, is a narrow scarf OF foulard
or surah not wider than the lawn tic
for evening dress, tied similarly in o
small square bow.
HOSIERY AND HANpKERoHIEFs
Plain colored and black balbrigsan
socks are chosen for general wear; gray,
tan, and stone blue are good colora.
For wearing with dress suits are black
silk socks with vertical stripes OF violet
or Of dark red, or else embroidered on
the instep with feurs-de-lis or other
small figures. Plain black silk socks
will still be worn with low Oxford ties.
Fine sheer linen handkerchief have
half-inch hens neatly hem-stitched, and
monogram or initial in long slender
letters wrought in a corner. The newest
way OF adding color to handkerchiefs
for morning use is a hem In Oriental
colors and designs, as palm leaves OF
many colors, or OF heliotrope with yell
low, or else Of green and blue together.
