What They Should Wear When They Go
Out on Pleasure Bent.


Women generally know how to
iress themselves and their children
tor most of the functions" OF society.
But they are often sadly perplexed as
10 how their husbands should be at
tired. Beyond knowing that men
should not wear evening clothes be-
,ore O'Clock, their ideas on mascu-
inc garb are vague. And, as they
frequently have to decide the ques-
ton of what their lords and masters
shall wear, it would be wise for them
to read, mark. learn and inWardly
digest the following facts:
At 2 o'clock weddings, known as
morning weddings, which are about
the only early festivities TO which a
man can be dragged, the bridegroom
wears dark-striped trousers, double
breasted frock coat, undressed pearl
gray gloves, white four-in-hand, tall
hat and big boutonniere. The ushers
are similarity attired, and the mas
culine wedding guests who aim to be
correct, wear clothes of the same
general fashion, though, of course,
the style of their ties, gloves and
boutonnieres is not prescribed by
law. At all fashionable morning
affairs this uniform, with some in
dividual variations, Is correct.
In the evening, of course, evening
clothes are necessary. This season
prescribes a three button, plain shirt
front, a straight, stand-up collar,
either a black cloth waistcoat or
double breasted, four-buttoned white
one. No jewelry is worn, and pearl
gray gloves, stitched with black, are
considered in best taste, as are patent
leather shoes. York World.

Almost a hundred years ago two
young men who lived in Kentucky
fort went out to look for strayed
horse. They wandered hither and
thither through the woods until, to-
ward evening, they found themselves
in a wild valley six or seven miles
from home. Here the younger of
them, Francis Downing by name,
fancied that he heard the swapping
of twigs behind them. Some Indians
were logging their footsteps, he be-
lieved. His companion, Yates, treat
ed the matter as jest, and offered
to insure Downing's scalp for six
pence.
Downing was not satisfied, and
finally, as he continued to hear the
suspicious noises, he fell behind
Yates some twenty or thirty PAGES,
and at a favorabl spot sprang sud-
denly aside and dropped into a thick
patch of huckleberry bushes. Yates,
who was singing, continued his
course, and was soon out OF sight.
Almost at the same moment two
Indians pushed aside the stalks Of a
canebrake, and looked cautiously in
the direction that Yates had taken.
Poor Downing, fearing that his own
movements had been observed, deter
mined to fire upon the savages, but
| in his nervouSneSs-he was hardly
more than a boy-he let off his gun
without taking aim.
Then he started to run. Very
soon he met Yates, who had heard
the report, and had fastened back to
see what was the matter. The enemy
was now in full view, and the two
white men ran for their lives Yates,
who was the faster of the two, would
not leave Downing in the lurch.
The Indians gained upon them
steadily, till they came TO deep
gully. Yates cleared it easily enough,
but Downing, being pretty well ex-
hausted, fell short, and after striking
the farther bank, dropped to the bot
tom. The Indians meantime were
crossing the gully a little farther
down, and seeing Yates making off
ahead, they took chase after him.
Downing crept along the bed of the
/ RuIIJ Ull1 IL DCIdnIC IOO clldIiOW VI IDu-
ceal him; and then, looking up, saw
one of the Indians returning, evident
/ ly to look for him. Again he took to
| his heels, and the Indian followed
All hope of escape was dying out of
| the young fellows heart when he
came to all overturned poplar-tree.
He took one side OF it and the In
dian took the other. Just then the
Indian yelled. A she-bear, it ap-
peared, was sucking her cubs in a
| bed which she had made near the
roots Of the tree. She greeted the
Indian with a hug, and Downing did
not tarry TO see how the interview
terminated. New hope put new life
into his legs. and he reached the fort
in safety, where he was welcomed by
Yates who had arrived two hours be-
/ fore.

ner coffee or liquors, thus permitting the
iuveterate smoker to enjoy the company
OF his fair companion while indulging in O
post.prandial cigar or cigarette. About
this inviting little salon there hovers all
the languorous charm Of the Orient. The
sensuous enjoyment Of the hour, the per-
fume OF the cigar, the aroma of the coffee,
are increased by the subdued harmony
and richness OF the surroundings. The
room is softly lighted by tiny electric
glopes, whose red silk shades suffuse ii
WIN warm, roseate glow which blends
narmonlousiy with the rich Turkish drap-
cries and exquisite colorings of the soft
cushioned divans and luxusious armchairs.
Low tables carved in Egyptian pattern are
scattered about. holding match boxes and
ash trays OF polished brass. At the far
ther end OF the room small standards sup
porting candles, whose soft light shim-
mers through scarlet silk shades are half
hidden among palm trees, giving a grace
ful finish to the artistic whole.
The innovation has met with the en-.
