Outing Suits In Demand.

Outing Salts In Demand.
The evening dress coat is made of the
uufini shed worsted in black The style
is certainly favoring the peaked lapel
instead of the rolling collar. The collar
and lapel will be of satin or silk The
length recedes slightly. The outline Of
the front follows the waistcoat in the
curve of the opening. The cuffs should
be made to button three buttons
The dinner coat, called the Tuxedo,
seems to have come to stay. Its purpose
is indicated by its name-for use at the
dinner table on informal occasions and
for use also at the country club. Its use
is deprecated as a substitute for the
evening coat.
The dress waistcoat is made of cloth
similar to the dress coat, except where
white is Worn, when the pique or mar
settles is the correct material. The dress
trousers arc somewhat smaller from the
knee down-that is, from l s inches wide
at the knee to 1913 at the bottom. Velvet
braid is used in the seams. The tie with
the dress suit should be Of white linen,
the made up article being discarded as
bad form.
The frock coat is certainly not dis
counted as the garment for afternoon
wear, and in the coming season it will
displace the cutaway for that purpose,
and also for noon weddings, 3 o'clock
teas, and SO on. The new frock coat
will recede somewhat in length. 1t is
cut less bulky at the front and especial
ly so at the waist. This enables the
owner to wear it open when he chooses.
The material is lambs wool, vicuna,
unfinished wolsted, the weave changing
from the imperceptible herringbone to
the diamond effect. Black Oxford and
dark mixtures and brown and olives are
considered correct, black predOminating.
The waistcoat with the frock coat will
be cut double breasted to a great extent.
The material for trousers with this gar
ment will be principally of the wool
finished in cnntradistinction to the wool
wOrsted finishes. The wool finish is the
correct thing to go with this coat.
The cutaway coat will hold its own.
It viii be worn this season as in the
past. The length, however, will recede
considerably. Three buttons are to be
buttoned at the front. The tendency is
to cut away less this year than i'll pre-
vious years.
First, there is the ever fashionable
Chesterfield. cut in single or double
breasted style and made I'D principally
in west of England beavers and meltons.
This season will see it made up chiefly
in the blue black and dark blue 1t will
have many mixtures of browns and
olives. Velvet collars will be Worn, but
for the cuffs velvet is passe.
The palet0t is made up of soft finish
material, either vicuna, lambs wool or
beaver. This garment, considered suit
able for wear over the dress suit, Will
be cut we'll to the figure, extending 49
or so inches IL length. All bindings or
edgings VIII be avoided i'll the finishing
of OvercOats.
| For use over the frock coat or for
| walking purposes the surtout viii be in
! vogue to a great extent this season. The
materials used will be the angolas and
west of England beaver, dark browns
! and olives being employed.
| Outing suits have been very much in
| demand for the last year or two in the
/ United States. This demand is due to
the formation of numerous golf, cycle
and kindred clubs. The introduction of
tho wheel has given great stimulus to
this style Of clothing. The golf coat is
cut i'll the norfolk blouse, or sack form,
and is made Of scarlet estamene, or of
the plaid or checked Shetland. When
made CT the scarlet, the club colors can
be shown on lapel. The brooches are
cut full knickerbocker style, with band
of boxcloth 4 . inches in width extend
ing below the knee. It is upon this band
that the plaid stockings are folded over
highland spats cut high up and made Of
boxcloth or duck, and a golf cap quite
full in the crown completes this smart
sporting suit. The New Y ork Herald.
authority for the foregoing, says that
the same style of brooches are being cut
for use on the bicycle.
