The case Of society against the young
man who makes SIS a week has attracted
the attention not only Of the ReniuAes who
write letters TO THE SUN but also Of the
200 or more gentry who daily rent evening
clothes TO such as wish 70 ahinO and have
not fine rainoent Of their own.
Not all Of these 200 depend entirely on
the social moths and fame for their live
hhood- Many of them do an ordinary
tailoring businesN aS well, but they all
confess that the yeaTning for the spike
tail coat or the more comfortable dinner
coat, alias Tuxedo, is the source Of the
easiest money they get That is why they
are pleased by the agitation for the observ-
anoe Of fashionable rules among men
and annoyed by tho argument that man
ners, not clothes, make the man.

The keepers Of the larger shops said that
they did a fair business In frock suits.
Folks who are broke and want TO be
stylish have TO get frook suits for afternoon
weddings. The charge for these Is about
the same as for evening clothes. The
frocks seem to last longer. l suppose It
is because there Is less booze at afternoon
affairs than at the evening blowouts.
Many Of the places which rent evening
suits do not handle shirts, shoes OF hats,
but they all have studs and ties. When
q customer insists on being shod or shirted
he gets the card Of some place which will
fix him out at a cheap sale price.

Pictures are Of prime importance among

away downtown and over on the East Side,
may be found, too, interesting old engrav-
ings, etchings and wood cuts, and sOme-
times even water ColOrH though these are
rare, and also old English prints OF hunt
ing and coaching scenes, with the bTllliance
OF their reds, blues and greens toned and
faded by years Of hanging In Kitchens and
barrooms. Such prints should be framed
simply In dark wood and have no mats,
and be hung In a rather dark part Of the
room they are intended for so that the
bright colors will give a high note where
II will be most needed.
The difficulties that beset the amateur
picture hanger are very numerous. Chief
among them IA a great wall space. IL re-

Is 70 hang the largest picture In a group

The place which does the biggest business
In renting evening clothes il in Canal street,
not far from Allen street. 1t has the
reputation among its patrons OF being
able TO ct out a thousand men every night,
but II Is likely that a rush OF 500 society
swells would tax its ability.
II has four rooms on the second floor
The walls are lined with shelves and the
shelves are full of big pasteboard boxes,
marked 30 stout SO medium and so on
There the standard price is $3.50, but II
you want sonnet hing a bit extra you can
60 up to IS.
The patron enters and, II he Is not very
familiar 70 the clerks, they take his chest
and leg measurement. That is all that's
needed. They fit a coat TO him, find
pair Of trousers Of the proper length and
ascertain whether the trousers will button
around his waist. 1t is always easy 70
find a wHistcoat Of the size desired.
He can take his choice as 20 full dress
or Tuxedo. OF late years the East Side
hes taken a decided fancy TO the dinner
coat because, as one Of the renters ex-
planned the other day. 1t don't seem so
foolish Another point in its favor is
that the length does not matter so much
In a Tuxedo az it does in tail coat.
The next inquiry IL as TO whether the
customer has shirt. studs, cuff links, shoes
and hat He usually has the shirt, but
n he hasn't the shop Is ready to supply II.
That costs from IS to so cents, including
the proper collar.
The studs are 25 cents, which seems
more eXorbitant, considering that they
will not show wear and tear. The rental
for a white tie is is cents. Shoe rent IL
so cents and the use Of the silk or opera
hat costs the sane.
Thus it is seen that II the pltron selects
the least expensive suit and has to take
an entire outfit the cost is sos, but the out
filter will throw OF the nickel.
II IL is late afternoon OF early evening
the customer will don the rented toys in a
dressing room provided for the purpose
and sally forth to the ball, leaving his own
clothing until his return the next day. IL
IL is too early for even the East Side TO dress
up he will leave his address and the evening
clothes will be at his door in plenty Of time.
In the first case he returns the rented
suit and gets his everydays. In the second
case a boy calls for the dressups the next
afternoon.

SHORT Wells RETURN TO FAVOR.
Many New Styles and Patterns shown In
Paris Shops.


Paris shops.
With the new styles Of hats the tulle veil
comes in triumphant. There can be no
question Of lace wells floating down at the
back when 80 much Of the trimming Of the
hat IL arranged cache-peigne fashion, nor
Of long scaTfs twisted about the neck and
falling 10 the foot, such as we're worn by
some fashionables last year, says the Paris
correspondent Of the Millinery Trade Re
VisW.
Short wells being therefore once more
reinstated in favor much ingenuity has
been displayed in the production Of fresh
lines Of tulles. novelty being obtained for
these both by varying the design Of the
gossamer itself as we'll az Of the decoration
put upon II. This more often than not
takes the form Of some sort OF spot, and
II Is really surprising TO find what an in
finite number of forms anything 80 simple
may be made to assume.
Every size Of spot Is adopted, wrought
either In chenille OF velvet, although the
tendency Ia not in favor OF very large sizes
rather for those below the medium down
TO the very smallest. Groupings Of diff
ferent sizes OF spots 80 az to form patterns
and border are much affected.
All women who look TO a veil 70 enhance
their attractions will find delight in the
new flesh oolored tulles. which are all but
invisible, as they match the skin OF the
face. and the dots or spots Of which play
the same part as patches, which Il Is we'll
known are not only becoming TO the COM
plexion but tend 20 brighten tho eyes.
Much the same advantages may be
claimed for the double tulle veilings. Here
we have a broad ruched white tulle backed
by the very finest illusion, the two being
held together by the black velvet spots
with which Il IL punctuRted.
In other specimens q somewhat CURIOUS
idea "a carried out. On that portion Of the
tulle which Is destined 10 cover the face
the spots are arranged In a large spiral
curve, and they gradually diminish In size
AZ they reach the centre, where they are
no bigger than a pins point. Strange

held in the hand. their eject when worn
Is decidedly good.
other varieties have various patterns
traced In dottings Of chenille or velvet pile.
Among these we noted some with designs
OF fronds OF maidenhair or other ferns.
These fronds are arranged alternately,
every other one starting from the top edge
and the Intervening ones from the bottom,
each spreading over the whole width OF the
tulle.
We must not forget 10 mention a novelty

A certain Bishop, happily still with Us,
though retired from the cares Of his colonial
diocese, was famous throughout Australia
no less for his quaint conceits than for his
spiritual vigor and eloduenoe.
When one Of the clergy described a wealthy
parishioner as a careless. Indifferent sort Of
man. who cared only for his garden during the
day and his billiard room at night. he said:
-Gurdenl Billiards. Don't call him careless;
he evidently minds his peas and cues

senger on board ship, why do you wear
that thlng?" "a crossi. he replied: For the
same reason that you wear a red nose-as a
