DISPLAY CORRECT TASTE
N HIS Apparsl-NeW Garments for
Town wear, Country Outings and
Ordinary Use-corTeet Styles in
Cut and Fabric.

New York Times; The morning or
business suit ls by far the most i'm.
portant to the many Now that the
season Is advanced the beat style and
cut are easily selected. and many Of the
little changes Of detail attempted in the
early season have been rejected, 80
that there Is q uniformity of design IN
the garments Of the weIl-dressed man
that distinguishes him from the general
tide that passes to and fro.
The sack coat OF town wear should
be Of dark material, elthe blue, dark
gray or a mixture. with perhaps an all
most invisible line OF red: some Of the
dull dark greens are also permissible.
For country or outing there Il
boarder scope. and some of the big
checks OF mustard tiats llped with
deeper brown. or even queer shade Of
blue, are smart in their uItra-loudness,
as are the Scotch tweeds in faded
green's. 1t Is needless 10 say that the
owner OF such clothes must OF necessity
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 Eng
lish and an EnslIshman'S size is gener-
Gus.
The materials for ordinary wear are
rough cheviotB or Scotch goods. Serge,
when used at oil. 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, a.
though there are some well-dressed men
TO be seen With the line at least two In
ches shorter. There is general ten-
dency toward waist line that ID de-
cidediy short. However. such suits are
for comfort, and should follow the fg=
ure loosely. The coats are square in
appearance and single breasted. fasten'
ed with four bone buttons and with two
or 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
nap Is correct.
The smartest walstcoats are cut dou-
biebreasted, with notched collar and
rather short at the bottom, while the
buttons incline as they reach the bot
tom. Instead Of overlapping, the cor
ners are cut in angles. If a single
breasted walstcoat Is preferred. 1t
should be cut little higher than the
double, but equally short at the bottom.
Fancy walstcoats are passe. Coat,
waistcoat and trousers all OF the same
material should be adhered to for the
lounge suit.
Trousers, II we follow our English
cousins, are to be broad through the
hips, straight in the leg and on the bot
tom, pockets. Of course. on the sides,
and, 1t Is almost unnecessary TO add,
no braid.
Some men about town are showing a
tendency to dress more for business,
and are adopting the English morning
coat In preference to the sack. This
should be worn with gray trousers, such
as are appropriate with frock coat.
The material must be unfinished worst
ed. vienna or lambs wool The waist
coat Is cut doublebreasted and the coat
to ut the figure. Shoulders should be
square and padded If necessary The
sleeves are cut with a spring that adj
Tnits Of straight line from shoulder to
hand.
Either white or colOred shirts are cor
rect with morning dress. If cOlored the
patterns and colors should be neat, not
conspicuous. cufrs that are cut square
are a little smarter than the round.
Plain gold links that are 1at on top are
beyond reproach. These allow for a
handsome monogram on top. Studs
should also be Of plain gold. In fact
the general idea of simplicity is carried
out in every detail. making 1t impoBsI-
Die to designate any one thing as &c.
eentinE the appearance Of a well-dress-
ed man.
Fancy hose have become rather ordl-
nary, and in preference the darker
shades and blacks are worn. There is a
ribbed combination OF two shades of
contrasting colors that is a pretty nov!
city. ana can be had in either all-siik
