standards upon which the wardrobe
is founded.
Sack coats are cut rather short,
and they may be either single or
double-breasted. The single-breasted
jacket should be made either perfectly
straight in front or with rather sharp
ly-rounded edges and with slight
spring to the side seams. The double
straighter back Both have an out
side breast pocket on the left side, and
two or three buttons on the sleeves.
Waistcoats also may be either single
or double-breasted; the former, slight
ly to be preferred, are cut rather short
and rather high at the neck and made
with or without collar. The trousers
are full over the hips and thighs and
narrow toward the bottoms, but they
should not be of an exaggerated peg
top shape. In cut and line they should
be straight. Fancy colored waistcoats
are not so much worn this season as
heretofore and are never the best
style with sack clothes. Generally
speaking, materials are dark in color
and of not striking mixtures, but
there seems to be no one cloth pre-
eminently in fashion.
Hats and Shirts.

clothes. Either high silk or opera
hat may be worn in the evening.
Colored shirts with morning clothes
are as popular as ever; the cuffs may
be either square or sharply rounded at
the corners, and the lines or stripes
usually run vertically instead of across
the material. This, however, is a
detail which need not be closely fol-
lowed, for some smart-looking shirts
have lines running across, and others
nave minute spot figures. With loung-
ing clothes and the dinner-jacket high
banded turnover collars are worn.

pointed standing collar is most cor

with a narrow opening and they NAV

corners. With morning clothes the

more or less worn and. if of good
shape, is perfectly good style.

Hose Of black or very dark blue
Isle Thu cad, with cloth in self or con.
trasting color, or with fine embrOider-

best style. The various figured styles

stamped or embroidered, are common
looking and by no means smart. Boots
for morning wear or day wear with
any attire except a frock coat should
be of calf, with buttons, and a rather
