make but seems to have abandoned
them now.
But for business, that is, in the trans
action of official routine at the white
house, the president is quite different
IL attired. He clings mostly, even
then, to his favorite black In the
mornings he is seen in black sack
coat, waistcoat and trousers Almost
| invariably he has on q turn-down col
lar and black necktie, the latter
item, 1t must be added, occasionally
varied. He seems to be fond Of very
dark blue ties. in the "bow" knot, with
white dots. The president does not
wear a ready made" neclztie
Such are Mr.. Cleveland's tendencies
in suits of clothes. 1t is noticeable
that he does not affect tho combina-
tion of black cutaway coat and vest
with dark gray. fnely-striped trousers
worn SO generally. even in the after
noon hours, by that class of business
men whom the president affects to
admire. The plain black frocl1 coat is,
as a rule, his afternoon habiliment Of
formal leisure. 1t may bS further
pointed out that, owing, doubtless. to
the anatomical characteristics of his
throat and neck, Mr.. Cleveland prefers
the turn-down collar. He also eschews
the four-in-hand. so much worn by his
predecessor. while an Ascot or a puff
tie arc rarely. II ever. seen upon him.
In dress suite the president follows
the prevailing fashion. He is never
seen in evening attire exactly at the
hour of six, like SO many of his
emulously swell" oo1ntrymen. Nor
does he sport great length Of watch
chniu. with emphasis Of charm and
seal. In fact, jewelry is conepicuously
absent from the magistcrial person,
It can be seen. on the rare occasions
when Mr. Cleveland's necktie be-
comes loose. that his collar button is
either plain gold affair or a white
mother Of pearl one. He wears a
small round gold stud in the bosom of
his shirt, very ipconspicuous and
hardly discernible. His wristbands,
or. to use the vulgar term. cuffs" are
connected by neat links OF the metal
now in such favor in Wall street.
These articles are birthday geft from
Mrs. Perrine. mother Of the first lady
of the land.
The presidential linen is invariably
white. never dotted or lined-that is
on the occasions when Mr. Cleveland
is seen officially aud quasi-of.iciallv.
The presidents linen does not shine
with starch. 1t has what laundryme,

bosoms have a wide plait running up

rcoPYrIGHr. 1881

| rCoPYRIGHT 1881
| OF all our presidents, Grover Cleve-
land. seems to have most thoroughly
realized the cosmetic effects of dress.
By judicious selection of wearing ap-
parel he has succeeded in making him
self seem some inches taller than he is,
thus adding dignity to the executive
presence, and moreover that diminu-
ton of feshiness apparent in him this
autumn and winter is largely the result
of an evident regard for appearances
in nearly everything he wears. Yet
the president is a conservative dresser.
Black is his favorite color and plain
ness the general effect he appears to
aim at. sartorially speaking.
For instance. those citizens who are
familiar from personal observation
with the presidents personal appear
arce ON formal public occasions, have
noticed an almost invariable uniformity
of attire in him. His costume COM
prises long, black, frock coat, with
wide black waistcoat, wide black
trousers and a black necktie, or to
adopt an occasional term of Mr.. Cleve-
lands own, ''neckerchief." His over
coat is always very long and always
black and his hat high, glossy mot
''shiny'), and of the stovepipe pattern.
All this, be it understood, when he is
seen on what may be called public
making a speech, opening
an exposition or riding in procession.
The president likes to wear flower in
his buttonhole and he prefers the
flower white. 1t is not rare thing for
him to carry his gloves, when he has
them with him, in his hand. 1t pleases
him, too. TO hold his hat in his left
hand when his fellow-citizens have
occasion to pass in procession before
him, to thrust his right hand into the
lapel of his great coat and remain in
that attitude, smilingly contemplative.
The shoes worn by the president on
these official occasions are square. wide
and laced. He has been seen, though,
in button shoes. The heels are low
and the soles "beveled." Mr.. Cleve-
land does not like ''shined" shoes. His
foot leather is rubbed and brushed
only. Mr.. Cleveland pays from twelve
to twenty-five dollars a pair for shoes.
He was once fond Of the Congress

long projecting blinkers back and
front. This suit shelters its wcarer
from rain and stray and explains Mr..
Cleveland's readiness to go fishing in
all sorts of weather. The presidents
fisherman equipment includes stout
boots which come mp to his knees and
into which his trousers are tucked. He
wears on his right hand a stout leather
glove, around which he adroitly twists
his line whenever q finny monster is
presumed to have bitten" There Is
one capacious pocket in the oilskin
coat, in which a book Is placed. While
awaiting the pleasure of the fishes Mr.
Cleveland looks at his book.
When the president is out with his
gun, he looks pretty much like the
average sportsman. His boots, how.
ever, are prodigious affairs. They
come mp to his hips, being, Of course,

A Queens disappointment,

Even queens cannot control tho
weather. The yeung queen Of Holland
planned a delightful celebration for
her fourteenth birthday. She was GO
ing to give school treats, but tho
weather was very unfavorable and the
programmes had to be greatly moii-
fed, much to the disappointment of
the young queen and many OF her
young subjects. 1t is said that the
young queen dresses very simply and
lives simply Her tine is wholly taken
up with her studies, which, in addition
to those OF other school girls, are such
as help to educate her to be queen

course. Hia favorite walking stick Is
straight, vanished, gold headed and
massive affair which is gripped in the
right and left hand alternately and
carried, not dragged or lugged. In
summer the president has knotted
stick. all twisted and "gnarly." This
he has owned many years. His um-
brellas are silk. with plain, gold tipped
handles. 1t is a very rare thing for
the president of the United States to
need many umbrellas. for if the
weather be wet he can stay indoors or
go out in his carriage. Mr. Cleve-
land, however, is exceptional in that
he likes to be out in the rain and
seldom suffers from exposure to the
weather. And as he could not walk
much about Washington's streets on
fine days without being recognized and
made conspicuous, ne will now and
then go out safe from notice under his
umbrella.
All things considered Mr.. Cleveland
spends but moderate amount on
dress. His hats cost him about ten
dollars each. He pays some ono hun
dred dollars for dress suit. One Of
his overcoats cost him only twenty
dollars Another brought him q bill
for one hundred and fifty dollars The
Presidents habiliments never have the
oppressive air Of being brand new"
Neither is he shabby.
M. Cleveland can hardly be said to
set the fashion. He has originated no
coat, no necktie, no hat. The Grover
Cleveland boot has not como into
vogue. His views on mems attire seem
never to have been asked But there
Is no denying that the president has
picked up. somehow or somewhere, the
art Of dressing.
The Wichita daily eagle., 1893-12-16

in sections as 1t were. He wears a gray
flannel shirt on these expeditions.
There is also a corduroy jacket and a
belt. Mr.. Cleveland is not, however, a
centaur. 1t does not appear that he
ever dorned scarlet coat, white
breeches and top boots to chase across
country with his fellow creatures for
the sake Of experiencing tho gratifica-
ton, the ecstasy, the extremity OF bliss
which comes from being ''in at the
death"
On the question involving the cor
rectness Of a white necktie with a
white waistcoat and a black necktie
with black waistcoat for evening
dress, Mr.. Cleveland poses as neutral.
He has been known to affect both COM
binations. He does not wear, however,
a black necktie with a white waist
coat. He does not wear gray at night,
nor pointed boots or shoes at any time.
His gloves are black, or dark brown,
sometimes white. He wears one ring
only, plain gold seal affair.
As already stated, the long black
overcoat is favorite with tho presi-
dent. He has, too. thick ulster,
capable of transformation into a cape
coat The cape arrangement, worn
with evening clothes and christened in
honor of a member of the British aris-
tocracy, is sometimes seen on the pres
idential person. On formal official &C.
casions, which oblige the chief magis-
trate TO don street attire at night. his
hat is the ''stovepipe."
