The jewelry for evening dress must be
very simple. Watch guards and fObs are
not worn. The only jewelry in sight
should be the plain solitaire pearls IN tha
shirt. or the mother-of-rearl studs, and
the mother-of-pearl links in the cuffs. The

of the crush or opera type. II is made OF
a heavy ribbed silk.
There Is another coat which comes I'M
der the head of evening dress, and which
is sometimes called the Tuxedo,
"Cowes," or Newport" The proper use
of this garment has given rise TO more
o. less discussion. Now, this coat is prac-
tieally the civilians mess jacket In Eng
land, where the regiments have their
home stations, there is more or less call
for a coat for lounging about the mess.
This was responsible for the adoption by
the military authorities of Great Britain
of what is known as the mess jacket.
Civilians who were called upon to minSie
with the officers found that full dress, or
the evening dress of civilization, was a
little too formal, and therefore. the din
ner jacket was designed.
The Dinner Jacket.
Now, this dinner Jacket is not intended
for wear at any function or at any place
where ladies are to be met. IL is for wear
at ones own home. at an Informal dinner
or at the club or at a smoker. II is wrong
to wear this dinner jacket at hops during
the summer or at dances during the win
ter. The dinner jacket is made of a soft
black worsted and has a shawl collar,
which is faced entirely with black ribbed
silk.
The waistcoat should be of the same
as the coat, and so should the

from loose drawing of the neckerchief, is

dances. Man is now called upon to leave
behind him all thought of neglige and the
comfort-giving garments that became so
dear to him on the links and the beach
and the road. He must now look TO his
broadcloth and his fine linen, for fashion
beckons, and the man who assumes to
cut any kind of a figure where the re-
lentless old dame presides must leave his
personal ideas and his taste behind him
and obey orders.
There is nothing so glaringly caddish as
the indulgence in dress originalities when
one is called upon to don the full dress
of civilization. Tie evening suit is con-
trolled by firmly established rules. and to
depart one iota from them is to commit
a solecism-to be ultra, to be of the cads.
We use the term evening dress" because
in good society that is considered proper.
One must not speak of "fufi dress or of
the evening full dress suit"
The Evening Coat.
Evening dress has two characteristic
features; oYe is the swallow-tail coat and
the other is the white tie. One must
never. under any circumstances, endeavor
to force any other kind of coat or cravat
to take the place of these two dominant
and positive features.
The dress coat, which is known in every
circle where civilization he's obtained a
foothold. is of what is popularity known
as the 'swallow-taiP' form. 1t is made
of fine, soft, clay worsteds and unfinished
worsteds, clay diagonals, Worsted broad
cloths, worsted vicunas, dress Venetian
twills, and half-finished worsted and Sc
dan cloths. These are soft cloths of dead
black finish. They are best for the dress

One must never wear with this Jacket a

to remember in all dress that the high

hats and derbys always go with coats

what Canes To Carry.
The question of sticks In evening dress
is one that is not bound by any rigid
rules. One carries the stick for protec-
tion, or simply because he is In the
habit of doing so. We look upon the stick
as rather of an essential part of all for
NAL dress. In the evening one should
carry a rather serviceable stick, very
plain, and with neat silver trimmings.
If a cane is 10 be OF any service In the
evening it must be stout enough TO af-
ford protection III case OF an assault The
umbrella should be neat; the great, big
headed things and the old and srotesque
ivory heads are not in good form.
II will be noticed that everything In
evening dress calls for simplicity. One
must not attempt to outshine ones neigh
bors in evening dress. 1t is the garb Of
the gentleman throughout the civilized
world. and whether a man be worth a
million. or clerk on a small salary. so
far as all outward appearances go they
are equal when arrayed for social func-
tions. That is the beauty of our evening
dress. II gives the struggling young man
