them that We Americans do not know

New York World,


1t is a fact that some society men
OF New York. Boston and Philadelphia
are now wearing knee breeches or
small clothes in the privacy of their
own homes.
AS NJ. Louis Bourque, gentleman Of
leisure, traveller and authority on the
latest styles. says plainly, fashions are
chansing. Even now at hunt balls
about half the men wear the mink
coats with knee breeches. Knee
breeches arc common for all forms OF
sport except tennis.
Recon for evening wear demand
SILK stockings-silks, the English call
them-and pumps or buckled shoes.
ana with them go the soft shirts and
stocks Of bygone days. Here is what
one OF New York's fashionable tailors
says:
To-day the small clothes Of our
great-grandfathers are perfectly prop-
er in ones own home. Our ambassa-
o0rs wear them and our ministers at
all court functions, and 30 why should
not men who take pains with dress
wear them when they are the hosts In
their W homes or guests in the
homes OF their friends.
AZ some weekend parties at coun-
Try houses the men guests are asked
I" come to dinner in knee breeches.
and In New York. too, there are din.
ner parties at which knee breeches are
requested.
'Private dances are given where the
men are expected to appear in silk or
satin short trousers and evening coat.
There is quite a demand nowadays
TOT other Kinds Of outre clothes. Fan
cy dress balls are becoming more pop-
ular. and this gives the men as well
az the women opportunity to don the
dress Of their ancestors.

play of city life. The Country Boy"
which Henry Il. Harris will present
at the Metropolitan tonight that as
one by one they come upon the stage
they seem like old friends. AS the
natural instinct is to greet old friends
cordially. this feeling of being at home
with the people on the stage probably
accounts for much of the success that
has attended this play. Its engage
