studs, IS an understood accessory of
any formal suit.
The tuxedo is now called the "din-
ner coat" and its name proclai1ns its
purpose with limitation. The lirnita-
ton, by the way, is the presence of
ladies, when the formal dress suit,
with its white waistcoat, white linen
tie and high wing or poke collar, must
be worn.
Outside of the strictly home din
ner, the dinner coat, with the black
waistcoat, rundown collar and black
silk tie, is seen at all stag parties, and
even at the opera or theatre, if there
are no ladies. Yet, in defiance of these
regulations, gentleman is permitted
to pay informal evening calls in his
dinner coat. In no case is silk hat
or white tie worn with this coat,
which rule includes, as matter Of
course, white gloves.
1t is not considered altogether cor
rect to wear a white waistcoat with a
dinner jacket, but a number Of men in
good standing have started the vogue,
especially for theatre parties But as
this jacket is looked upon as informal,
the innovation is fundamentally incor-
rect.
Speaking of the theatre brings one
to the matinee, which, although not
often patronized by men,, cannot be
ignored as concerns his proper outfit
for the occasion. 1t is permitted a
man to wear his ordinary business
suit at matinee, even if he be accom-
panied by lady, but if he proposes at
the close of the performance to pay
calls or do duty at an afternoon tea,
he must don the formal frock coat or
cut-away, including the silk hat, high
collar and any sort of quiet scarf
that will tie into big, loose knot.
The formal evening dress coat is
worn at all evening functions where
ladies are present, and even at those
dinners where there is a possibility
of ladies being present as spectators
Evening functions include the formal
dinner, opera or, theatre parties, re-
ceptions, dances, weddings and formal
calls.
The dress coat demands white OF
black waistcoat, the high wing OF
poke collar, with the white; linen tie
the silk hat, of course, and low shoes
In all house affairs white gloves are
worn; out in the street the dress suit
is seen with gray suede.
A chain is never worn across the
waist coat of a dress suit, and nc
jewels of any kind outside of gold
links, gold studs or pearl studs, if the
latter are preferred
By the way, as last word, braid or
ones trousers and velvet on ones
collar are no longer considered abso-
! lutely correct in the formal evening

A Much-Mortgaged Inheritance

The French Canadian ''habitant'
and his wife generally hold their farm
in common, and it is their custom to
make a joint will designating one of
their sons as their heir.
There are usually plenty to choose
from, for race suicide has made no
progress among the French Can
adams. The eldest son is not neces-
sarily selected; the choice falls upon
the young man who seems most likely
to manage the property with wisdom
and thrift.
If the heir is married, he brings his
bride to live with him under the
parental roof, and they often enter
into possession while the old people
are still alive. But the, privilege OF
succession brings with it heavy re-
possibilities.
The heir binds himself to support
bis father and mother, and perhaps
one or two dependent aunts, as long
as they live; and to bury them and
pay Tor requiem masses when they are
dead. He must also endow his
brothers with stated sums when they
start farming on their own account
and give dowries to his sisters when
they marry, if they have not married
already. A common dowry consists
OF two cows, two sheep, chest full
OF household linen, a spinning wheel
and $Ioo in cash.
To discharge all these liabilities the
heir may have to mortgage the farm;
but he IS never known to shirk his
obligations on that account. Possibly
it will take him the greater part of his
lifetime to clear off the mortgage, and
by the time he has done so he is will
ing to give over the farm to one of his
own sons and settle down to an easy
| life.

A MANS knowledge of social
~ usage is measured not so much
& n by the variety of his coats as
by the hour and occasion in
which he appears in certain one of
them. A frock, a dinner or a dress
coat may be bit antiquated in style
the offense is condoned But if one or
the other be worn at an questionable
hour the unfortunate culprit is con-
sidered guilty of an irretrievable error
against good manners.
AS a matter of fact, the average
American is business man, and rare
ly takes the time to keep in touch with
the accepted etiquette of his ward
robe, although his outfit is generally
complete. 1t is only when he is called
upon suddenly to decide between the
niceties of a frock coat or a dress
coat for an evening call or a noon
wedding-not to mention the added
difficulties of proper hat, tie, gloves
and footgear-that he is completely
at a loss how, and in what manner of
rainent, to solve the difficult problem
There is one general rule regarding
the etiquette of coats. The coat with
a skirt, or tails" as they are called,
is looked upon as formal, and is worn
with a silk hat, waist coat of either
the same material or white duck, and
gray suede or white gloves, which
excludes the use of tan. An exception
to. this sweeping rule is the English
walking coat suit, whicls CO ,ructed
of rough fabrics, is wort hing bqsi-
ness hours, and with the usual derby
or soft Alpine.
The formal long skirted frock coat
is an important item in mans ward
robe, and is supposed to follow the
axiom of when in doubt wear frock
coat" AS a matter of fact, it is ser.
viceable for variety of dressy occa.
sions, although a few elderly men Of
distinct standing occasionally favor
it for Office wear.
The frock coat, or cut-a-way frock
can be of black or dark grayish soft
stuff. The trousers should be striped
but always dark and inconspicuous
1t is worn, with the necessary sill
hat, at church, the noon wedding ant
for the afternoon call
Of course, the collar and tie demant
special attention. A rundown collar
and so-called "bow tie" are tabooeo
with the frock coat. If the waist Goa
matches the coat, black or gray
toned scarf can be worn, and black
knotted four-in-hand, or ascot, if the
white waistcoat is selected Til,
plain, white shirt, with gold or pear

TIE HEARTS SUPPER At NIGHT

dances must take great pains to avoid
cold, for the exercise brings on a
perspiration, and the rest which fol-
lows is enjoyed in low-necked gown.
Have pretty little wrap ready for
the intervals between dances.
Your popularity is very likely to
lead you to the abuse of one of the
best things in the world-e kercise.
You may be invited to Join country
club, to go golfng, tennis playing,
bowling, day after day. There is al
ways a merry party, and you go for
the sake of the fun, even when you
are tired or not well Don't. Too
much exercise, even OF the best kind,
IS quite as bad as none at all. Have
the courage to refuse even the most
tempting invitation if you know. you
are not equal to the effort. You won't
lose your popularity by being moder-
ate IN your gaiety.
A great many of the girls who
dance until late hours-or early ones
are not able to make up sleep in the
morning, and this is perilous. No
woman ought to entertain any idea of
remaining pretty unless she allows
herself at least eight hours sleep
night. Besides this, there should, if
possible, be little rest time in the
middle of the day. Lie down if you
can; if not. sit down, relax every mus
Gle, close the eyes and doze.
Perhaps it is outside the province
OF this little lecture to refer to one
more danger of the popular girl-and
yet, if you think, you will see that it
is a danger to beauty 1t is the risk
of being spoiled Did you ever see
vain, self-conscious girl who was en-
tirely pretty? Think again. Did you?

Witty Eng1ishmen Of Other Days

BELL had a keen sense OF
- humor, and was a great co1lec-
tor and retailer of bon mots
with which he used to delight dinner
tables. Many of these he has pre-
served amid the discussions on high
affairs of State and complex legal
questions which compose the ten vol
umes OF his "Lives of the Lord Chan
cellors." Campbell had the dead chan
cellors Of whom he wrote at his
mercy, but when the book came out
the then chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst
revenged his caste upon the, author.
''What do you think of Campbe11's
work." some one asked Lyndhurst
Think of it?" replied the chancellor.
What can I think of it? 1t is adding
new terror to death"
One of Campbell's stories of Lord
Chancellor Erskine's brother Henri
is as, follows. Seeing Andrew Ba1four
a man who affected great pomposity
Of style, come 1imping into court
Henry asked him what had happened
II was visiting my brother in Fife
and fell over his sti1e and nearly
broke my leg" ct is fortunate it was
not your own Style replied Henry
for then you would have broken your
neck"
Succeeding Dundas as Lord Ad-
vocate, that good natured politician
offered to lend Henry his embroidered
official gown as he would not need il
longer. NO" replied Henry, E'I will
not assume the abandoned habits OF
my predecessor.
Lord Balmuto, an obtuse Judge, was
a thorn in the side of Henry Erskine
who would crack his best jokes and
fire off his most brilliant wit before
him without eliciting single smile
or look of appreciation. Then, hours
after, when another case had beer
called, the judge would suddenly in
terrupt the proceedings of the court
by crying out: ooh, Mr.. Erskine,
hae We noo-I hae We moo. Very guide
very guide"
According to Campbell, Lord Eldor
used to say of his brother, Lord Sto-
well: my brother takes regular ex-
ercise twice a day--in eating" And
Stowell retorted upon E1don, who was
fonder of drinking wine than of paying
for it: my brother will drink any
given quantity of wine" On being
asked what the chancellor killed wher
he went hunting on his estate at En-

Stewart Edward Whites Honeymoon


Stewart Edward White, who last
spring achieved the climax of life
of hazard and wild experience by
marrying Newport girl as a news
paper observed, has been enjoying a
unique honeymoon after 'The Vir-
gilman" pattern.
He and his wife have been camping
alone, far from any sort of civilization,
in the wilds of the Sierras. Although
this is Mrs. Whites first experience
in out-of-door living, she sends back
word of enthusiastic delight with it
all. She sleeps on the ground, eats
camp fare with relish and thoroughly
enters into the spirit of the life SO
wildly described in her husbands
books.

Biiou-"Busy Ivy"

Busy Ivy has been busy to some pur-
pose since last season. The piece has been
frightened up, the company enlarged and
improved and new songs have been inter-
polated until the result is one Of the best
shows" Of its kind seen on Washington
avenue in many long day.
Plot there Is none and the author has
not even apologized for his oversight. but
1t makes no difference In Busy lzgy"
the play distinctly is not the thing. It's
the players that count and they count
thirteen to the dozen every time "Jlngo,"
who is credited with authorship on the
Bijou programs, has merely paved the
way for a number Of entertaining spe-
cialties presented by clever performers.
He hasn't aimed high, but he has hit
what he aimed at.
OF the specialties the most novel is the
song and dance, Tommy and Me- con-
tributed by Maud Campbell Edward
a Boweryesque affair, but quite different
from the stereoptyped Bowery spiel and
vastly more amusing. Another good thing
is a take-off on the ldtime minstrel
first part in which Carrie Weber acts
as interlocutor, George Sidney as tambo
and Fred Wyckoff as bones. Another is
Sidney's singing Of parody on lila
watha," which, tho hackneyed, is still
funny, and vet another is a 5ur!esque on
the ''Tell Me, Pretty Maiden sextet. The
prettiest bit of unfamiliar music intro
duced is MY Dixie Anna," which prob
ably will become popular.
The chorus should have a paragraph all
to itself. 1t is a large chorus and it can
both sing and dance. Moreover, it fills
| out it's clothes wonderfully well and alto
gether is the best looking and most cap
able chorus seen at the Bijou this season
| The costuming is elaborate and fresh
| and the scenery adequate.
