GrIswolds and all the Long and Staten

became Lady Blackwood, with the as
sis:an of Miss Cameron a S maid, making
another International social link. Then
there We're young men in the family, be-
sides, who were very English.
Their styles are out-of-CoOr ones. This
winter several cycling suits made here
from an English descriptive letter, and
| sent out to Long Island, were of boucle
| cloth. You can't fancy toucle on man.
| 1t is the rough We oily goods that women
| wear. 1t looks ike astrakhan, but is thin
ner. The whole suit was CT oucle- Around
the Goa was a. sacQue buttonng all the way
| down the front.
| Around the edge of the coat was a
narrow border of white Australian lamb.
| This resembles Persian lamb fur in all
but the color. There was Il standing ollar
| of the same, and when the young man is
| dressed in that suit Gefy women or angels
to tell whether he is a man or woman,
Until they zee his fierce moustache peep

PROFESSIONAL SUITS.
professional men have more vanity
than all the dudes This is not remark
able when you consider how many of them
rely upon their shape for their living.
Doctors must be well groomcd. Lawyers
must be convincingIy dressed: and all
clergymcn must be the pink of nicety.
Bad dress has ruined many professional
career. An English surgeon visited these
shores last summer. He was a cigarette
smoker, and il was noticed that ne carried
his cigarette betw cen his middle and third
fingers. as certain Spanish duelists carry
a dagger. No return thrust can stick it in
ones own body. The surgeon took the
ashes from his cigarette by quick thrust,
and smoked necessarily with the little
paper pipe held always between those
fingers.
Some one with more boldness than the
rest questioned him about it. 1T is to
keep my other fingers sensitive said he,
Surgeons complain that the foTrfingcr
becomes so hardened that in dressing a
wound they inadvertently hurt with that
finger, while they are tender with the
others. To Il certain extent the forcfnger
must become caloused. but a surgeon can
guard IL from fire at least
THAT settled the matter. Now you see
all the young sprigs of medicine point
ing their cigarettes in that way. How
does that affect US haberdashers? Why
in the most singular manner. We must
cut the third finger of our gloves easier
A close-fingered glove never holds u
cigarette We'll.
KEENE'S WONDERFUL HAT
''Y oung II enry C!ews and Foxball
Keenc are both Englishmen who Set the
fashions. They have SO much English
blood in them that the queen seems like
n near relative. For years We gentle
mems furnishers have followed the Fox
hall Keene modes for the races. Do you
remember that mans straw hat with
striped band, like valisc marked for
foreign travel? We got that from Fox
hall Keene at the Brooklyn handicap three
years ago. He told our representative that
he saw the prince with a hat just like that
a t the derby.
1T is foolish, an insult to mans in
telligence, to suppose that he will allow
n designer to sit in his sanctum and
, invent fashions which shall be accepted
arbitrarily. He wants to see some one
wear the fashions and then he will know
whether he likes them or not. That is
the way fashions start. Here your adopted
sons of auld England get an idea from
'Lunnontown,' and we haberdashers make
it popular as soon as we see them w ear it,
