Young man of the last years suit,
look we'll to detail. For it is the up-to-
dateness of the detail that makes the
glass of fashion nowadays, and if your
old business suit of heather mixture"
is in good shape, we'll brushed and
pressed, you will be in it with the rest
of them.
In the event of it not being heather
mixture, it may be convenient to know
that this very serviceable material is
an imported tweed in the soft dust
hiding tones of Scotch furZe. The sin
gle-breasted sack fastens a shade
higher than last year, and new thing
in buttons, is one in dull red bone as
fat as a tin disc.
New Vestings.
A novelty in waistcoats, to combine
with dark cutaway for morning
wear, is a wool vest in costermonger
plaids.
These gay vestings have the smooth
surface of felt as we'll as it's thick
ness; and in design, bold squares of
blue. red, green or yellow on con-
trasting ground, brown preferred.
In make also, for the material is the
same, they initiate to a nicely the
clumsy waistcoats long worn by Brit
ish costermongers. They were intro
duced into polite society by the Prince
of Wales, though first designed for
merely sporting use.
Nankeen waistcoats are eminently
correct, and when wearing one the I'LL
ira fashionable man invariably knots a
dark red necktie at the box of his high
white collar.
Sticks and Hats.
me-
ornamental ferrule, the gold and silver
cane handles, once so fashionable, now
being numbered with things dear A
bigger knob of the same wood, or
bulky crook, finishes the top of all of
these knotted sticks.
Derby hats, or as the golden youth
now dubs them, pot hats" have
changed, as every season, somewhat
in shape.
This nickname, pot hat" arose
through the making of derbies over
iron pots instead of the old time
wooden block; and that the new pots
have altered recently, is evinced by
the top-heavy look of the new derbies
They are considerable broader across
the crown than a season ago. also high
er, and with a medium roll brim
Five inches is the limited height of
crown, and pale hazel brown a dressy
color. Other new derbies are in seal
brown and black, which last are al
ways recommended for wool suits with
grayish tintings.
The swagger sobriquet for all head
gear on a high order is top hat
Like the pots these, too, have
changed with the tide of seasons, being
much less bell at the top than a few
months ago, and with a less rolled
brim. All silk hats show these changes
and crush affairs for evening use are
no exception to the rule. Instead of the
bombazine so long popular, however,
these last are now made in dull corded
silk and have sometimes rich Innings
of white satin.
A comfortable soft hat for travelling
is called the 'telite."
Miss Terry's Impromptu.
This is shown in black, brown and
gray, and its acceptability may be
gathered from the fact that it is back
ed by the approval of no less person
than Sir Henry Irving himself
Apropos of Sir Henry and these soft
hats. there is a pretty story told of
Miss Ellen Terry.
Recently, in the fortunes of train life,
her own hat blew away, a brown elite
of Sir Henry's being the only thing to
take its place. Winding this with sa-
BILE boa she tied it down on her yellow
head with one of the brown wells she
loves, and the effect, it is said, was raw
ishing.
But the tale is useless, if the dual |
possibilities of such a chapeau makes
no appeal to economic husbands.
