Smart Evening Jacket Suit.

very smart evening jacket suit worn by
one of the best-known members of the New
port social colony expresses his personal
ideas, and it is so distinctly away from
middle-class standards that | indorse 1t
unreservedly. The jacket is long, well
shaped TO the waist has a step or notch
collar and very broad. low-lying lapels
The cuffs are narrow and turned back, and
the jacket fastens in front with a single
button and has corners a shade rounded
The general air of this suit may be rairly
claimed as the newest and most acceptable
OF all the seasons models. While the even
Ing jacket is in no sense fashionab BILE, il
sticks, because there is really nothing to
fill the gap. The need of a club jacket is
conceded; one can't very well lounge in
the fact that these belong to occasions
ceremonious, the discomfort of the swallow
tail with its trailing skirts and tight waist
is acute. The evening jacket, then, has a
legitimate place in dress, though II should
be confined to that place and not worn in
terchangeably with the swalIow-tail. l do
not observe that the gray evening jacket
opinion carries weight. On the contrary.
black is their preference, though gray
waistcoats and gray ties are much worn
to lend a dash of contrast. Quite new is
the tie with alternating black satin aYd
gray silk squares. Another smart tie is of
gray silk with a black satin center stripe
and pointed ends. To be sure, the plain
black tie is in as good form as ever, and the
novelties that l have described are merely
variations from monotone monotony When
a gray waistcoat of silk or linen is worn
with the evening jacket the tie should be
black for contrasts sake, as too much of
any one color looks lifeless

Mixing the Seasons.

Braiding on Jackets has been dropped and
1t is now confined to morning and frock
coats. Applied to lounge suits, 1t never
seemed appropriate to me. but rather a
straining for effect Flannel shirts with
soft collars and cuffs are much seen in town.
and, indeed, there is a veritable craze
just now to have ones clothes smack of
the country. 1 cannot wholly indorse this
tendency, for it is prone to deteriorate into
mussiness of dress and disregard of the
proprieties. To sanction flannel shirts, rus
set boots and tweeds for town wear is to
open the door to dangerous Innovations.
fancy that this leaning toward the ex-
tremely country suggestion in clothes
will wear itself out In due time, for 1t is
only pose. Town dress and country dress
should not be mixed, since to mix them is TO
sin against the fundamental principle of
observation-disclosures to time and place.
To behold a man on the avenue in mid
autumn dressed as he would be for a coun-
try porch does not necessarily suggest that
ne owns q villa on the Hudson, but rather
that he is wearing his masters discarded
clothes.

STYLES IN MEMS WEAR
SUMMERS FREEDOM AND WIN
TIERS sTARcHINEss.
The Return to Conventionality - Per
sonal Ideas in Dress-Contrast
in Details
From the Haberdasher.

From the Haberdasher.
Winter is not so hospitable to fads in
dress as spring and summer are. and OBJ
viously When we put aside our soft
tweeds and flannels for "starchier'' clothes
We leave behind free and flowing forms
and become bit colorless In our manner
of dress. Nevertheless. winter brings some
changes of moment, notably in evening
clothes. and a mans personal taste and
individual notions may be as strongly ex-
pressed this season as ever. l summed up
during the last two months the general
leanings of the mode for autumn and win
ter. and. with minor exceptions, this sum-
mary stands. The younger set In society
Is AFFECTING the regulation military cut of
jackets, and doubtless by next spring the
middle-class tailor will be in fun pursuit.
The discarding of vents. side and center, on
jackets Is a natural outcome of-the desire
OF the favored few to dress as differently
as possible from the mutable many"
This, however. seems 10 me quite needless.
Distinction in a mans clothes springs from
choice fabrics and exquisite tailoring and
these will never be common. Moreover, the
growing independence of ideas in dress, to
which l have often referred. makes 1t pos
slhle for man to be his own arbiter and
10 resemble not one whit the simpering
1ashion-piate dear to the alley tailor and
his bourgeois patron. There never was
time when wefl-dressed men followed the
announcements OF their taiors less than
they do today, and there never was n time
when the personality of the wearer counted
Tor more in clothes. Indeed, the point and
pith of dressing well lie In expressing In
dlVldual taste. A common standard would
make US look like a lot of beads-all thread
ed on one string. Quality of fabric, dis
tlnctlveness of cut and poise of bearing
these are the things that single q man out
among his fellows. The cuff finish on jack
cts having lost caste, has been abandoned
and the newer winter jackets have a mar
row fold or turn-back cuff fastening with a
single center button. A fad worth noting is
to have the jacket lapel left loose instead
of pressed fiat, so to lend an easier,
loungier' aspect that Is in keeping with
clothes avowedly informal.

Formal Evening Dress.

Formal evening dress Is patterned after
that OF previous seasons, which means that
simplicity and uniformity are its cardinal
features. Whatever personal preferences
man may show in lounge dress, evening
clothes must conform to a clearly defined
standard. The very fact that he who in
PRODUCES oddities in evening dress Is looked
at aSkance Is the best proof that simplicity
is the truest taste Just now there is a re-
newed proneness to affect embroidered shirt
fronts. fold cuffs and the like, and all these
are in bad form. 1t Is only required Of the
correct evening suit that IL fit well and be
smart in cut-the rest is of small conse-
quence The shirt should be of linen or
silk, with plain linen bosom having one
or two studholes Shirts with silk bodies
are particularly suitable because they may
be slipped on and off with ease and are
most comfortable to wear. The tie should
be of firmly woven linen, cut full and ad-
tusted with straight effect rather than
with a pinched center and spreading ends.
Corded weaves are notably smart and not
yet common. AS far as the evening collar
is concerned, 1 have always advocated
either the poke or the lapfront. The wing
may be more convenient, because 1t keeps
the tie from mounting. but II is not a dis
tnctively formal collar, and, therefore, not
as appropriate as the poke and lapfront,
which are worn only on occasion. Be-
sides, the wing collar prevents one from
knotting the tie with fashionable broadness
and "snippy ties are distinctly middle
class. Much latitude is allowed in the
white waistcoat-black waistcoats are no
longer worn-and 1t may be extremely plain
or quite elaborate. Personally, / approve
OF linen rather than silk, very simple in cut
and weave. Black silk hose should be worn
and the evening boot is patent leather with
buttOned or the newer cloth uppers and
without d toe cap. The absence of a toe
cap makes the boot look lighter in weight

PATIENTS IN
WILD PANIC.
Smith Infirmary on Staten Is
land the Scene of Much
Excitement.

Michael Bush, a patient at the s.
II. Smith Iniirmary, on Staten Island,
got beyond control of the nurses yes
terday and created a panic among the
other patients. He was sitting at the
side of his cot yester day afternoon
when he sprang up and began remov-
ing his clothing. After he had
stripped of every article he started to
race up and down the ward.
The two women attendants ran
down stairs and notified DR.. Holmes,
the house physician. While they were
away Bush dragged the clothes from
all of the unoccupied cots and then
turned the cots upside down. His
actions so terrified the other occupants
of the ward that all who could walk
escaped from the room. The others
lay trembling on their cots.
DR.. Holmes, another doctor and
several male attendants found Bush
mounted on a window sill trying to
squeeze himself out between the bars.
He was pulled back, but the combined
efforts of half a dozen men were not
sufficient to control him.
The police reserves were called and
he was finally overpowered.
