THE WELL DRESSED MAN

Copyright. 1872. BY Alfred F. Bryan.

Followers of fashion are impressed
with the wane of the unbendingly formal
spirit that used ITO govern afternoon dress
There is much less attempt at sun
dayfied' appearance. The stately frock
coat is seen SO little nowadays as to
make its wearer noticeable while the
braided cutaway. long sort of mongrel.
'alf-and-'alf' coat, has stepped to first
place.
Doubtless this change is to be credited
to the spreading wish to dress comfort
ably above all things, The frock is not
an easy coat to wear. and 1t Is the rare
man who looks his best in It, The cuta-
way. though. unites a formal enough
air with just enough informality to make
1t capital coat for assemblies and oc-
casions when ceremony counts for some
thing, but not for everything. That this
American idea is becoming the Euro
pean idea will be attested by any man
who has crossed over" lately.
Sporting Scarf Silks.
IN new guise comes an old theme
that Of weaving scarf silks to symbolic
sports OF all sports. They are overlaid
with miniature figures Of riding crops.

Colorful shades of green and brown
are much approved in cravattings, and
the drift of the mode is toward broader
scarfs that better set off the richness
of the pattern. Ii ones scarf be narrow.
plain colors without a figure or vivid
stripe should be chosen. Usually, cravat
clasps and cuff links are made to match.
Nothing is in better taste than simple
gold with ones monogram etched into 1t.
The "Strap Stick"
The continental fashion of carrying
ones stick, when not in use is to loop
a silk cord fastened to the handle over
the wrist. 1t is called the strap stick
This makes the straight-top stick more
convenient to. WELD, and is growing
practice among men who go walking
sticked to an evening function, the opera
or the play.
White gloves embroidered on the back
with rows of heavy black stitching are
again the mode. Indeed. the embroider-
ing of all gloves, for both day and even
ing, is an agreeable fad. White pique
collars are sometimes worn with evening
clothes to match the fashionable white

Pleated Shirts for Formal Dress.

Until quite recently nobody who
thought himself somebody wore pIeated,
frilled or tucked shirts with formal
evening dress. One saw much sof them
on the continent. but Americans chung
to the plain bosom OF Incorporating
boardlike stiffness. Now, however, the
soft-front pleated shirt often accom-
panies the "swallowtail." being another
concession to the spread of comfort

Walking sticks may be much more than
simple sticks. Some ingenious designer
has allowed them to hold cigarettes, and
another, who is not just ingenious, but
downright genius has fitted them with
tiny electric bulb. This stick, known
among late-to-beds as 1.-THE keyhole find
err" flashes spear OF light, which makes
out the elusive crevice, thus avoiding
the stabS and jolts that self-respecting
keyholes have to take. when a wavering
body projects itself at an immOvable one.
Another stick has q handle formed to
hold matches, both curiosity and a
convenience. There are others Of one
kind or another, all designed to spare a
mans time, temper and pockets.
Possibly, in the cycle OF time. a stick
will be invented holding a showerbath
and a change Of linen. Seriously though,
these sticks, while in some degree affec-
tatious. are undeniably useful. and. while
ter form than the ordinary companion OF
a-saunter, they are at least worth men,
tioning. Bent handles, whether orosswise
or curved, seem to be more in vogue
than straight handles. which cannot be
hung over the arm and are often dropped,
to their hurt.
Innovations for Smokers.
Gold knives. etched with the owners
initials. are dainty and inexpensive TRIES
for the pocket. In brass, a novel smok-
ing-table ornament consists Of q match
stand and cigar cutter combined in one.
1t has been found that cigars. when car
ried In a leather case. are prone, from
close contact, to absorb the odor OF the
leather. There Is q new pocket humi-
DOR" which, being very fiat, takes up
little room and keeps the bouquet OF the
tobacco intact.
The kit bag. which has supplanted the
uncouth dress suit case, is carried by
seasoned travellers in preference to any
other. 1t usually has checked English
lining, which soils and rips least. Fitted
bags have lost caste, because most men
like to buy their own fittings as they
need them, and thus dispense with un-
necessary bottles.
The last cry IN evening dress is a
gray-white walking stick with black
ebony cap. Needless to say. this is q
Partisan idea, for the French go to dar-
ing extremes at which our staider taste
stands aghast.
IL you confess to a fondness for an
English-looking sack suit, have it fit you
snugly. with high, blunt lapels, narrow
ish shoulders, curved-in sides and skirt
with wee bit'sof fare. Have your
trousers swing clear OF your instep with
out being noticeably frightened at the bot
tom. Overlapping trousers seams and
peg tops" are not fashions, but mock
cries Of fashions. Instead OF lending
character to ones dress. as very young
men imagine, they make a caricature OF
1t.
