Fashions for Men.

The cutaway coat must have three
buttons There is no exception to this
rule. The garment may be of worsted
goods or lambs wool. The worsteds
should be of dark color and inconspicu-
Gus patterns, In sack coats, which re-
main in considerable favor for bust
ness wear, four buttons are the new
est idea, but the button may be one
less without causing the wearer to feel
that he is violating a, canon of fashion.
The tendency toward greater length is
felt in this form of coat, as well as in
the others, The sack coat should fit
rather loosely.
Like the cutaway, the frocI1 coat has
three buttons. 1t should reach just
below the knee, and have silk facings
that extend to the buttonhole. A
double breasted wistcoat may be worn
with it. The favorite color for trousers
to be worn with black cutaway and
frock coats is gray, fine stripes being
desirable. Checks of small pattern are
also to be seen. Trousers are cut small
Ter at the bottom than they were last
winter. The winter overcoat is cut full,
as it was a year ago, and is even long
er than it was then. Favorite mater
ials are smooth and Elysian beaver.
The canons as to hats are not ahso-
lutte, owing to the failure of the lead
ing manufacturers to agree on shapes
One of these, who may safely be

differ from the preceding style in hav-

brim, with a heavier curl. The derby
hat has a lower and more tapering
crown, with rather wide brim of full

There seems an appropriateness in
wearing russell shoes for winter, but
they are in high favor with those who
dislike the clumsy, troublesome over
shoes, with their likelihood to cause
the wearer to take cold. These russell
shoes have extremely thick soles and
doubles uppers.
The dress shirt has an extremely
plain bosom, with the seam of either
half as close as possible to the edge,
and with two buttonhole studs. These
studs, if the wearer keeps up with the
latest fashion, are of mother-of-pearl,
with limitations of eye-holes and
threads. The plain white studs have
not disappeared. The collar is straight,
two inches tall. and with a slight self
roll" The white wings" variety is
still seen a great deal, and has certain
advantages over the other. Square
corners are preferred on cuffs.
All gloves should have one pearl but
ton and the "spear-point'' back.
Bright red and cedar tans are common
est for day wear. For evening dress
the gloves are of pearl color, with
slight pearl stitching. These may now
be worn at day weddings also, an in
novation dating to this season. The
handkerchief is of plain linen, with
narrow border. The dress-tie is thirty
nine inches long and two inches wide
at the end. For day wear the flow
ing end four-in-hand is in high favor.
The colors are uncommonly gay and
the patterns unusually elaborate

There are some persons who would
not for their lives tell a direct and
willful lie. but who so exaggerate that
it seems as if for their lives they could
not tell the exact truth.-Paget.
