The top hat of the year has
a brim that is slightly curled, and the
crown is less belled The English
hats have very high curled brims, and
/ are round in the front and back in
stead of eliptical. The New York hat
has o. narrow ribbed silk band; the
English hat has cloth band.
SSsThe notifications in top hats are so
ksiight from year to year that many
men have their own blocks at the
hatters' and wear the same style of
hat, which can be changed bit in de-
tail so as not to be out of fashion.
There is no economy in cheap silk
hat. The best hatters in New York
charge from Sc to IS for their top
hats.
The black derby for the season has
a high rounded crown and a somewhat
curled brim. Black will be the pre-
vailing color. The gray felt Alpine hat.
with white ribbon band, and the very
picturesque sombrero of gray, with
twisted scarf in bright colors around
the crown, will doubtless be seen and
worn by many. These hats, after the
fashionable season has begun, will
find their place 10 the country
For semi-evening dress and dinner
coat one halter has made a black AL
pine soft felt hat, with a brim and lin
ing of black ribbed silk. This is not
only very smart, but it solves the still
debated question of the propriety of
wearing top or opera hat with a
dinner coat. This latter is somewhat
the fashion in London and Paris, but is
against the principles of good dressing,
which have always taught that top hats
and short coats make a ridiculous COM

Cut of Waistcoats.
In general the prevailing changes
will be in the cut of waistcoats fol-
: morning and afternoon, as we'll as for
evening. These are much higher The
single-breasted waistcoat is again com
ing in favor, and the flamboyant
Dreastplate will go out of fashion. In
London some of the single breasted
: waistcoats have gilt and enameled but
tons. These are to be worn with frock
coat and dark striped trousers.
Single breasted white waistcoats are
not out of place with black frock coats.
The colored shirt, which should be
worn in the morning with business
suits, is still barred and striped. Blues
and pinks are the favorite shades
A white shade with narrow black
stpipes running up and down is quite
smart.
The frock coat is a bit long at the
back, double breasted, fits snugly TO
the figure, with visible long waist
and tighter sleeves. 1t is faced with
silk to the lapels, and is made of vi
cuna and unfinished worsted and other
black coatings. Some of the English
coats have ribbon bindings, making
the coat bit conspicuous.
The materials for business suits are
of Scotch and homespun. The prevail
ing shade is gray with mixtures. A
few shepherds plaid clothes are also
being worn, and are becoming to men
who are not too stout. The season S
morning coat is cut in sack fashion,
single breasted. The trousers are a lit
tie loose from the upper part of the leg.
A few men have black silk braid on
their dress trousers. This is the Lon
don fad which has never taken we'll In
this country. For mild weather some
very smart suits are made of brown
checked materials, but as rule brown
holds second place, gray being the ia
vorite.
The overcoat for afternoon wear
when the Raglan is not considered
will be the Chesterfield. 1t is silk
lined with fly front, single breasted,
with double stitching along the edges.
Oxford grays are the most popular
shades Black and mixtures will also
be worn, but the blue Melton overvoat
Is not as smart, and will not be the ia
vorite. The Chesterfield overcoat will
have two large pockets over the hips,
with flaps, no outside breast pocket,
and a velvet collar. 1t is made rather
loose around the shoulders and collar
and loose over the chest, and it comes
down just below the knees
