The Varied Wardrobes of London's
 Twentieth Century 6eaus Might Mako Most Brides Blush For Their Trousseau-Artifieiai Aids to Beauty. More than century has gone since the last of the Macaroni laid aside bis coat of mixed silk. his pink satin waist coat. white silk stockings with pink cIocks and pink satin shoes with large pearl buckles. The dandy of the twen- tieth century, does not strut on red heeled shoes. with his clouded cane dangling from his wrist. like the beau of the restoration. nor does be adorn his shirt bosom with fine mechIin lace and leave wake of perfume behind him as he swaggers along Pail Mall. like the pretty fellow" of early Geor- glan days. says London Tit But. though he may cut less re- spIendent figure than his predecessors in the world of dandyism. he is none the less a splendid creature. with . l proper sense of his personal charms and their adornment.
 His wardrobe is a thing for the or dinary man to marvel at and in c0stli. ness and variety of fine raiment might seau. His shirts alone are wonder in themselves in their stacked dozens. of the daintiest cambric and many hued as Joseph's coat-shirts of pink dain- 1 tily patterned with white flowers. blue shirts. bug shirts. of olive green and. most beloved of all. of dark purple. His handkerchiefs are of the most l fragile and fine cambric. each bearing his cipher embroidered in the corner in l exquisite stitchery or inlet In the form l of guipure lace. His tie pins dazzle l the eye with their pearls of pink and purple and black. each a fawiess and l costly gem. His vest buttons for even 1 ing wear. with studs and cuff links to l match. are marveIS of ena mels. garnets or mother-of pearl enshrining rare jew. l eiS.
 | He has watches for all times and sea- | sons of wear-one for evening. another 1 for shooting, a fourth for hunting. and so on. And his hats and suits in their infinite variety for every conceivable occasion would make many a lady of society green with envy.
 And what shall we say of his cor sets. which dover his figure with an elegant waist. or. If he Is DO longer young, of his array of wigs and tou. pees eyebrows and eyeiashes. which give to sixty or seventy the facial comelinens of the twentfes.
 He wears few jewels. but he has cas- kets full of them at home which would ] not shame society belle at the height of her career of conquest. And he is . greater connoisseur of delicate per fumes than the dandy of Queen Anne's day. who before he pronpnaded in the park deIuged himself from flowing pc ruke to gold clocked stockings, with musk. civet or orange flower.
 Our modern dandy. however. is more discriminating and less prodigal. He affects sachets. carries thy phial o1 his favorite perfume in his waistcoat pocket and with silver sprinkler sprays his lingerie before he puts 1t on
 Nor. we may be sure. Is he any less careful of the beauty of face anu
 
 find such an array of toilet lotions and cosmetics as would excite envy in many female breast Nor is he by any means content with such home treatment as pomades and creams and toilet waters placed at his disposal. He has his own face specialist. to whom he pays periodical visits at SC many guineas a time. for steaming masxaging and other mysterious proc esses for restoring the smooth texture and the complexion of youth. If he has tendency to badness ane
 the usual lotions fail to stimulate growth or If he is troubled by hair il undesirable places he, has recourse tt the beauty doctor. who. for sub stantial fee. will remove the latter ol induce a luxuriant growth of tho
 former with the aid of electricity The electric spark will equally remov. any pimples with which too generou:
 living has dixhgured his face and O1 massage fails, the wrinkles with whicl euvious time threatens his youthful
 ness.
 Our dandy must. of course. pay
 regular visits to his manicurist at 1, guinea or more visit. for he may b.
 pronder of his delicate hands and fl
 bert nails than any debutante of be-
 cream and roses He must also devotl
 part of every day to physical exercis'
 under expert guidance in order t
 keep his too solid flesh In decorou,
 subtectiOn and to retain the supple ant
 elegant figure of his younger days. If he pOurs few sbillings' worth o
 perfume into his morning bath. wh'
 shall 6nd> fault with such an effemi
 nate extravagance? He can well af
 ford it. and. at any rate. cleanliness i
 virtue we cannot cavil at And he crowns all this costly care of hi precious person with an annual montl
 at some foreign spa-well. be proba bl, needs all the help he can get from in order to keep his place In the rank of masculine beauty.
 Got of Easy.
