MEMS DRESS.
New Garments for Town Wear, COun-
try Outings and Ordinary Use.

From the New York Times.
| The morning or business suit is by far the
| most important to the many. Now that
| the season is advanced the best style and
| cut easily selected, and many of the
| little changes of detail attempted in the
| early season have been rejected, so that
| there is uniformity of design in the gar
| ments of the well-dressed man that distin-
| guishes him from the general tide that
| passes to and fro.
The sack suit for town wear should be of
| dark material, either blue, dark gray or. a
mixture, with perhaps almost invisihl,
1 line of red: some of the dull dark greeI
are also permissible.
For country outing there is a broader
scope. and some of the big checks of mus
tard tints lined with deeper brown, or even
queer shade of blue, are smart in their
ultra-loudness, are the Scotch tweeds in
faded green's 1t is needless to say that
the owner of such clothes must of neces-
sity have a large supply and only indulge
occasionally in such pronounced taste, even
then with the assurance that he has the
proper physique. 1t is well to remember
that such clothes are English and an Eng
lishmanS size is generous.
The materials for ordinary wear are
rough cheyiots or Scotch goods. Serge
when used at ALL should be rough grained.
The sack coat is cut shorter than last year.
TO be correct it should be the exact length
of the sleeve. although there are some we'll
dressed men to be seen with the line at least
two inches shorter. There is a general ten
dency toward a waist line that Is decidedly
short. However, such suits are for COM
fort, and should follow the figure loosely
The coats. are square in appearance and
single breasted. fastened with four bone
buttons and with two three smaller bone
buttons on the sleeve, which, by the way,
fits closely over the cuff The collar of the
coat should measure two inches in breadth
in the back An outside pocket without
flap is correct.
The smartest waistcoats are cut double
breasted, with notched collar and rather
short at the bottom, while the buttons in
cline as they reach the bottom. Instead OF
overlapping, the corners are cut in angles.
If a single breasted wais.coat is preferred
1t should be cut Q little higher than the

he travelled that way, but he learned better
after awhile. He was mobbed. called upon
for speeches, and otherwise made to feel
thoroughly weary of his eminence. The only
occasion within the writer's recollection
upon which Washington theater audience
has given audible manifestation of its
knowledge that an eminent man was pres

Local Atmosphere,

Many other men of the stage have made
similar comments upon the character Of
Washington theater audiences. The splen-
dor of a great theatrical night in New
York or Chicago is the splendor of wealth
exhibited with almost fantastic profusion
There is; plenty of that here too but vet
there Is something very different about
even an average Washington theater audi
ence from the average Chicago or New

lacking here. on ordinary theatrical ncca-
stems there is nearly always what might
be termed atmosphere In well-filled Wash
ington theater.

AS GOOD Ms A PLAY


Written Tor The Evening Star.
\ few weeks ago a famous comedian gave
at a local theater one night a remarka BILE
exhibition of how a trained man can con-
centrate his interest upon two affairs at
one and the same time. That Is to saw
while playing his part with his accustomed
address and polish, his attention was yet
so attracted toward one of the stage boxes
that he could scarcely keep his eyes there
from. He did not, of course, proceed with
his lines and business with his eyes riveted
upon the box but he seized every opportu-
nifty TO direct curious, slant-wise glances
at the occupants of the box Perhaps only
a few of those in the audience observed
how interested the comedian was in that
box.
In the box sat lady, richly arrayed in
the loose. flowing robes of convention for
the high-caste women of the celestial en-
pire. She was the wife of the Chinese am
baSSador The ambassador. a man of smil-
ing dignity, sat behind her, much absorbed
in the comedy. At the rail sat their little
solemn-countenanced son. his features
screwed into a Shrewd effort to get at the
meaning of a stage affair that depended

tions. and not upon horseplay, for its eff

WeH-kno.vn Types.

Some of the types OF Washington theater-
goers are individual and well-known types
For example, We all know that so-called
young man about, town with the five and
half size head-literalfy who. always has
Il seat on one of the aisles in the very first
rev of the orchestra. and who always
strides in in piepcn-toed grandeur about
three minutes after the rise of the curtain

his crush hat until, when he reaches his
seat, he gazes about him for about half q
minute. in order to give everybody an OPP
portunity to see the hat, which he wears
tilted Very much on one side of his head.
Then, with extreme delfberation, with the
most elaborate effort at the insouciance of
the man of the world he removes his over
coat. then his pafded heck-protector and
finally, to the accompaniment of many
suppressed signs " his neighborhood, that

They Do 1t Differently.
Some of the young attaches of legations
have a great fondness, too. for the spectac-
ular opportunities presented by seats in the
first and second rows. Some of them are
OF the monocle, Van-Dyke-bearded type,
who strive to exhibit and strongly portray
the fact that they are foreign by the puz-
lied manner with which they stare about
them before they take their seats while
the curtain IS down. Now, the American
man who has an aisle seat far down in
front and who fees the need of a Glove
between acts or cigarette, rather breads
the walk up the aisle to the exit of the
theater. He probably feels that he isn't do
Ing precisely the right thing in getting up
and going out. and, moreover. the Ameri-
can man isn't fond of being scrutnized by
assemblages. He feels. when he abandons
his seat and plods up the aisle, that every
body il the theater is taking careful note
OF the proportions and conformation of his
hands and feet, and he isn't quite COM
Portable until he makes the lobby of the
theater. Not SO the young legation attache
He rises, carefully adjusts his monOcle
turns and faces the audience and looks
about him in a surprised kind of way for
a moment and then begins slow march

audience individually anda collectively.

Whether he feels shat he is attracting
a lot of attention 6r' not, he is never a
