the most handsome suits that have

He1tfIy Braided.
In my flsits to the shops that cater
to the best New YORK patronage /
have noticed that the leading models
put forward were broadcloths, chew
lots and scrges, most Of which were
eiaborately braided. Some also had
braid that was put on quite plainly

Fancy collars and cuffs are seen on /
a great many suits, revers Of velvet |
ana silk
Belts Of patent leather are still much |
liked Generally they match the cos
tune in color, but Ii black is used for
a trimming, IL is continued IN the belt.
The new ones are extremely narrow,
scarcely more than a line at the spatu-
raj waistline

each collar is simply stitched at the
