DRESS LIKE A GENTLEMAN.
4 Few Hints From the World Of
Fashion.

!
fashionable garments will more happily
combine the three essentials to perfection
in attire--beauty, utility and comfort
than at any other time in the century,
and there will be u greater variety OF
them.
Garments during the incoming season
will I've specially noticeable for many
things, chief among which are the follow
ing:
/ The shoulders Of all coats will be broad
and moderate y square in effect; but they
will not be built up with Wadding, cx-
cept for men whose shoulders are shaped
somewhat ike the neck of champagne
bottle. This means that the slopine
shouidercd man will he unfashionablc.
IhcChcstcrlieid, which will be the most
popular ovcrcbat of the season, will be
rhapuly, but moderately loose fitting,
and will reach just below the bend Of the
knee, and the back will have a vented
centre seam. The materials from which
it will general Y made are worSteds, ,chcl.
lots and lambs woods in browns, blues
ana grays
The full box will seldom be worn ex.
cc1t for driving. 1t will be made from
i&eI.eys and smooth-faced beavers.
Use plated lapel dress coat will be
more popular than the shawl roll style
but the latter will be much liked by
young men. They will be made from
fine worsteds as rule, but vicunas, thi
bets and dress shctlands will be prefer
red by some. They will have a waist
length of Is inches and full length o.
from 81 to 3S inches for man of average
height.
The peaked lapel style will have al
extremely long collar and the roll ma,
bc silk faced either to the edge or only
to the button holes. For the shawl
roll style the silk will, of course, extenC
to the edge.
The vest may be either single o.
double breasted, with IA C'-shapcG
opening, and may be made from white
or black fancy silk, or from white mar
>ci.lcs or duck.
The trousers will be of the same ma
tcrial as the coat.
The Tuxedo dress sack may be WORT
with the dress vest and trousers.
The double breasted frock suit will be
the only uninpeachably correct suit fol
day drc.s. For afternoon wear the coat
made from black or very dark worstcds
choviots and, lambs wool, the vest from
the same natpriai as the coat, or from q
fancy yrSting, and the trousers from 4
mudeStIy striped or checked, or striped
and checked worstrd or clcviot trouscr.
inE, the co,or tome Of which is soft and
modcratcy light.
The coat will have a long collar, tw,
inches wide at the ends. and well -pcatcd
ilpr,s which are oNc-hNli inch wider at
the tops, 3 inches wide at the end oi
the roll and ,! inches wide ut the bot.
tom. The roll will hn Si.h-ia2el to the
buuum holes, and tie skirts viii be
ri"nrh pressed.
F,r general business sack suits will hc
al Il 4 L.
GETAWAY irock suit made from the same
material and the long wasted cutaway
lrock suit will be preferred by many.
For all Of these suits, fancy suitings in
c3cviots, worstcdS, twccds, homc-spIlns.
etc., will be used. Thgsc sutings will
be generally Of browns, blues and green's,
some showing no distinct pattern, but
the vast majority Of them are in
strides, checks, plaids OF wonderful color
blending and dashcs Of daring brightness.
The most popular sack will be the
thrcc-button cutaway, the fronts Of
which viii bc cut away from Il point
high enough to permit the lowest button
Of the vest to show.
With the long wasted getaway frock
or with the sack suit, the straight, just
meeting, standing collar of Il height pro-
portion to the wrarcr's neck; the same
style Of collar with a medium poke and
the bcnt-point collar, worn with a four
. INLAND tie, an ascot scarf or butterfly
tie look well, and will be greatly worn.
Neck wear runs chiefly to stripes in :,
large variety OF shades and patterns.
/ conspicuous among which are the so
called club combinations.
A natty brown or black derby, or Il
white or tan Alpine hat, heavy tan or
reindeer gloves, full ronnd-tocd, oil
grained or enamel snocs, and an English
ash or a rnanorcd stick will complete the
costume
The colorcd shirt, it should be hardly
necessary to say, will be an ovcrwhe1n-
ing iavoritc for morning wear. This
shirt, it may be well to remark, by the
way, is correct and popular for afternoon
wear, at any function that does not de-
mand fall day-dress.
