Enjoy Great vogue-Other styles.
There seems to exist an impression
among the manufacturers and the tai
lors that the autumn is TO be early and
cold and that snow may be expected
long before Thanksgiving At least this
is so if one may judge from the heavy
materials which are already being
shown for the autumn fashions. Tweeds
and cheviots and homespuns will be
worn in business and morning suitings.
There is little variation in the colors,
gray mixtures leading and brown close
ly following The rough blue cheviots
which were quite popular this summer
make capital autumn sack suits and
with light overcoats will be worn well
into the winter
The double breasted REFERS of tins
material and in the same color in the
smooth goods are yet very fashionable
They are dressy, and on tail and thin
men are quite slightly, but they accentu-
ate stoutness and smallness Of stature.
~
single breasted Men returning from
England seem to have taken 10 checks,
and there is a disposition TO make them
popular this autumn. \ very smart
suit, fresh from London tailor, was of
dark gray turning 10 drab homespun
with the check bar black. The English
still cling TO the morning or cutaway
coat in all rough materials, but this one
was sack, just slightly cutaway ut
the bottom. In this country it would be
called a three button sack cutaway
There are many cutaway suits III rough
goods for morning and business wear,
but they can only be worn by the tall
man, who seems TO have the preference
in tailors' models But short men have
their innings in the striped cheviots
and the dark materials with n white
stripe pattern which were so much seen
this summer, and which will be repro
duced in heavier cloths. Before dismiss
ing this branch of the subject it would
be well TO give the measurements of the
American tailors in regard TO the cut
away business coats. The waist length
is put at 10 and the full length at 80
inches. Double breasted fancy waist
coats will be much the fashion, espe-
cially with men who can wear these
long WASTED getaways. Trousers are
cut this year SO as to taper little more,
but neither too tight nor too loose, at
the bottom about ne inches and at
the knee about "a
The English froclI coat is made with
silk facings and fiat braiding 1t is
rather loose, but not too loose, and
reaches quite down TO the bend Of the
knee. The skirts are close fitting and
the material dull vicuna 1t is, of
course, double breasted The American
is little freer than the English, but
about the same proportions The coat
has long collar, two inches wide at
the ends, and peaked lapels. There is a
silk roll faced to the buttonholes. Trou-
sers TO be worn with frock coats are Of
or worsteds, in narrow striped
patterns ON dark grounds. Waistcoats
with frock coats will be double breast
ed, any number of those in fancy silks
being popular
In evening dress thc"e is some inno-
walton. The shawl G., lar evening coat
is again being advocated by the tailors
In England it is called the roll collar
and the collar itself and the lapel roll
to the waist are covered with heavy
twllled silk or peau de sole The
American coats have waist length of
Is and full length of from 81 to 80

Gently appeared i'll one of these peaked
lapel coats, with the silk facings brought
out to the extreme edge The skirts
were very long, and the garment was
lined with heavy silk. The double
white marseilles waistcoat is
much worn with evening dress, and
ideas being greatly in favor the
last evening trousers from London have
two lines of braid down the sides
In overcoats the English covert has
become shorter than ever 1t should
be but four inches longer than a sack
coat and should never be worn over a
frock. The material is waterproof.
There are double rows of stitching,
even as many as six of these, on the

fact this is banished now from all prop
erly made coats of any description. The
collar is of the same material as the
coat, but silk faced to the lapels. The
double breasted Chesterfield overcoat
reaches to about the calf of the leg
In many Of the outing suits the
Iznicker breeches are made of different
from the coat and waistcoat
Leather leggings are much in favor
They button down the center of the
leg. Brown is the hue most prevalent
in these. The box cloth is banished
from the Knockers, the leggings coming
up over the knee
During the early weeks of autumn
many of the haberdashers are having
bargain sales of shirts AS the linen
the pinks and the blues with
the narrow cuff will be in fashion in
the country and nearly everywhere I'M
til very late i'll the winter, this is really
the time TO invest In evening shirts
two and three buttons, with q revival
of the three, will still be in fashion
Neckwear will as yet be little changed
