Mr. Propertie, of the firm Of Fourinhand,
stood in the door of his ultra correct habcr-
dashery on Firth avenue, running through
to Broadway.
Areporter stepped up with n Good morn
ing. Nr. Properle-any new fashions from
London this week?''
Mr.. Propertie smiled a superior smile.
"Fashions dOpyt come from London to the
haberdasher direct" said he, ''or if they
do they are held in waiting for few days.
FASHIONS" said he, with emphasis, come
to this country more direct. They come
upon the backs of resident Englishmen.
Understand? No: Then / VIII explain.
You have in New Yurkcity an American
who is an Enelishman. He spends part of
his time i'll Ohio, part in New York. He
mana ges funds for an English syndicate. HIS
name is Almeric Hugh Paget He Is one of
the leaders of Gotham and the best dressed
man inthecountry. Wchabcrdashers watch
his clothes and copy them.
MR.. PAGET's DULL BLACK.
THAT is singular, but any great haber-
dasher VIII tell you that he copies London
fashions, not as they come to him in the
old.fashioned fashion books, but as he
sees them Paget is a brother-in-aw OF
half the nobility of England. He crosses
every year, or gets his models sent over
here for his tailUrs to copy. His newest
dress suit is a model in black. 1t is semi
mourning lOI II Ieidtl!t vi WIZ, sSthsiIOi
PAYNE, OF Ohio.
''It is a duh black without luster:
Tailors know how to take off the gloss
without injuring the broadcloth.
''Hls tie is a narrow slit of white against
a dull white shirtfrnnt. His cuffs are ironed
ElusSless and his shoes are BACKED without
shine. The boutonnierc he wears has not
touch of green, Just pure white, and when
lie goes out into the night his man throws
around him a capeovercoat, dark as ErebuS,
and hands him silk hat of n dull mat terial
that must be polished with i silk hand
kerchief.
Aesthetic this garb is, and you can
imagine how interesting Pagct looks in
IL with his expressive face and rolling
eyes. He will be out soon with his Vile
and month-old- daughter, land We are waiting
for the poem in bright tweed, which he is
sure to wear on this his first outing.
THE WEBB CANE.
tine cane is not good form in mourn
ing An old man may carry walking
stick when he pleases, but young man
must not be dressed with one OF these
gay walking appendagcs when he has put
on black
The Sloane gentlemen are all in touch
with black out of consideration for Mrs.
William Vanderbilt, who was the mother
in-law of one of them. They are what
taiiors call nubby' gentlemen, and we
they would dress. We knew that the
Sloanes, Twombleys and all the brothers
of all the families of each would fall in
line with the Wcbbs.
"Dr. Webb appeared few days after
the funeral with his cane at half mast.
He had it reversed with the silver knob
downward He did not twirl It, but
walked along in lcisurely fashion, with
the cane pointed silver end to the ground.
That settled it. An our fashion plates for
mourning will have the cane reversed.
THE Cuttings are as near English as
descendants of Revolutionary heroes ran
he. They spend most OF the year in Eng
land. They bring over many English
modes. and among them are the styles for
caddies.
..one of the Cuttings is a golf champion.
YOU have heard of his prowess at LenoS.
One of his pictorial points is the way he
dresses his caddy. His latest style is
direct copy of the caddy taken by the Duke
of York to the Sandringlam links the
first of the cold weather. The little fell
lows trousers and blouse were OF melton
cloth fine as satin. The blouse was cut
with a shirt front and Il turn over collar
The whole suit was in crimson, cap and
all, even to the stockings, which were
double wool. The slippers gave him n
very light look, but they were felt and
cotton lined. His gloves were light WOOL
That is the true English caddy style for
the links.
THE CAMERON STYLES.
For a long time Sir Roderick Cameron
has sci the fashions, and the sydney Dillon
