ished dongola are of secondary consid-
Grafton, but whether wholly or IN part
of the glazed skin they all show round
English toes and are laced.
Afternoon trousers, let it be known by
the ambitious, never show their hens
upturned, but falling gracefully upon
the brightly lacquered shoe and some
black trousers have been seen showing
a black herring bone stripe woven
through the even mesh of the goods
and conveying the cOntast effect of the
gray trousers without really varying
the tone at all. Last season the model
frock coats fell just one inch or three
quarters in the skirt below the knee
This winter they are but a shade
longer. their rather bOad lapels are
faced with black silk and the modish
man, in a drawing room where he VIII
be expected to stand and talk to women
kind keeps his frock buttoned close.
Few men indeed have yet acquired
the art of arriving in an amply full
drawing room on a reception afternoon
with an air of graceful composure that
clearly signifies their habitual inter-
course with fashionable society. Too
many of the sterner sex appear with
less ease than a lion tanner enters a
wild beasts cage, while those who as
sumo an air Of bland compOsure thrust
the left hand into the trousers pockets
and stand before the hostess with the
pseudo Chesterfieldian swagger of a
third rate barn storming actor in a
drawing room scene
The Drawing Room Manner.
A graduate from the very up-to-date
/ school of fashionable department leaves
his hat, stick and coat in the hallway,
draws off his gray right hand glove,
and holding it in his left appears
snugly buttOned as to coat before his
hostess. If he hand is extended he
/ presses it gently in his own, bearing in
mind as he does so that she wears
rings and that a stern gripping of her
! fingers will give her intensest pain. He
keeps her fingers in his clasp, while a
bystander could count four slowly,
holding them at the level exactly at
which she gave them and bowling
( gracefully as he does so. If the debu-
tante at her side is too occupied with
/ her bouquets TO offer her hand he
bows in recognition of her salutation;
a bow that is not a mere shrug nor an
ugly lurching forward and elongation
of the neck, but an Obeisance that saw
ors in it's dignity and precision of the
German officers bow. The body is IN
clined gracefully from the hips, the
head bent in harmony and the hands
dropped easily at the side. This ex-
/ tremely stately salutation is made
when a friend is recognized across the
room. when introduced to a woman
who does not offer her hand ard in a
modified form when a feminine friend
puts out her delicately glOVed fingers
70 the firm masculine pressure that
must never be accompanied by a shake.
The man who stands in a private
drawing room talking to women should
forego the obnoxious habit of putting
his hands in his pockets or standing
! with his arms folded. Neither attitude
| is graceful nor complimentary. With
his hands behind his back or before
him and holding the ends of his gloves
his best and most dignified attitude is
maintained and after passing into the
dining room he may appropriately open
his coat to reveal the splendors Of his
Immediately white waistc0at and his
fob
The New Gold.
A model fob shows but a length OF
fine closely meshed fold links forming
an omen worked band Of rose finished
gold about the length and width Of a
fob ribbon. At the bottom of the fob
hangs a carved gold ornament with a
flat base on which are cut the arms
or the initials of the owner. and the
peculiar new rose finish on the gold
gives the surface of the precious metal
the aspect Of the cOstliest enameline
done in pale coral pink
From the fob an observant eye will
quickly glance 10 the mOdish man $
sleeve links that are small medallion
of coIored chiseled gold, rose green
blue or brown. 1t is now possible to the
makers of jewelry to bring out any
one of these natural colorings in the
yellow metal and this particular treat
ment of gold finds great favor in the
