Every Frenchman in Paris wears white

William c. Whitney is a man who dress
es considerably in this country. His re-
cent marriage has rejuvenated his dress
marvelously, and if he had crossed to
London for his rousseau he could have
been no more English in cut. To be sure,
he has refused to wear the white silk
hat, or the light gray one, or the pale tan.
Prince Christian wears a light gray silk
hat constantly, to set the ball rolling to-
wards the light silk hat and away from
the stiff funereal tile. But he has few
imitators here.
Whitney likes the bell crown, the broad
brmmed bell, that can be worn all win
ter with an overcoat without looking
small, as those narrow bells are apt to
look. He wears the new frock coat
with silk facing, and in trousers he likes
the shepherd plaids tweed.
A more extreme dresser is the always
handsome Frederick Gerhard. This gem
tleman wears a dress suit with a velvet
collar and is extreme enough to allow
the collar to roll on many of his evening
suits.
Very elegant men have several dress
suits, or rather dress coats They wear
one and then another. The skirts of all
are lined with silk, and the bright plaid
Innings are seen here and there, but the

Shoes will insist upon being pointed. The
newest points either turn right up at
the toe or right down. If up. they are
called the toothpicks; if down, the Pic
cadily points. They are immensely long,
and the wonder is that men can dance in
them, yet they do. The alternative is the
buckled shoe, and that few
men will wear.
