WHAT ROYALTY is WEARING

frock coat, black and white striped
trousers and black silk hat. His
gloves on this occasion were light
lavender with black points and his
necktie was of his racing colors. On
each of the four days he wore q white
King George carnation.
Prince Arthur of Connaught was
the only man of the royal party
wearing a morning coat; and he also
donned a white waistcoat. Compar-
ing notes with friend in the pad
dock, we both agreed that white
waistcoats would be very popular
from Ascot EDWARDS, and no doubt
with the trade in general they will
be favorites next season. We find
in England it takes six months be-
fore a fashion becomes popular after
| ii is exploited.
Prince Paul, of Servia who is
| spending a holiday in this country
was one of the many well-dressed
men l saw. His town clothes We're
built of gray worsted and the morn
| ing coat was held closed by one but
| ton. His trousers were finished with
| a permanent turn-up. He was
wearing white serge waistcoat, a
| black and white tie, knotted derby
! fashion, and a double collar on a
white shirt. His hat was white.
At Ascot one always sees many
| fashions not associated with any
! other race meeting or gathering in
| England. / have made a few illus
| trations from life.
| One | rather liked in cut was
| single breasted, reaching nearly to
| the knee, well wasted, with large
| pockets on the waistline. The ma
| terial was black serge. This coat was

i Another man was wearing shori
jacket suit with black top hat. This
| mans clothes were beautifully cut
the double-breasted panel rolling soft
and, though the wearer left his coat
1 unbuttoned, there was a style thai
was really smart about him that at.
| tracted me. The coat and trousers
were of the same material-blacl
diagonal-and the trousers were made
permanent turn-up, cut short, dis.
playing white silk socks with black
clocks, and patent leather shoes. Hi:
waistcoat was double breasted and
made of cream serge. He wore g
black satin derby tie on a white shiri
and a double collar. His gloves were
of white buckskin, and in the button.
hole of his coat was white gardenia
When inspecting the horses I saw
a member of the royal enclosure from
his badge. His clothes, it may be-
argued, were freakish, yet it is vel
to report what one sees, and for my
part l admired his pluck in wearing
shirt and collar of gray and black
equal stripes, with frock coat suit
of dove worsted. His hat was of the
same shade as the suit and carried
black band in keeping with the
black satin tie.
On two different days I saw thi:
man, and each time he carried a sur
umbrella, fashion that was also
adhered to by Lord Rosebery.
Hon. Thomas Agar Roberts was
wearing white silk socks with black
clocks and black patent leather shoes
with town clothes.
Another morning coat had the old.
time pockets on the waistline and the
trousers of black and white check
but it had novelty in the way OF
the raised seams being black. l also
noticed these trousers were made
/ turned up.
Another suit was different from the
ordinary, the morning coat being cut
more like a riding coat, the opening
being rounded, and / noticed the
! three buttons were slightly TO the
side. There were two pockets on the
hips, which had flaps. and the skirts
