Fashions in Gentlemen’s Clothes.

There is but little change to be noticed in full-dress suits this season. For promenade suits the “Albert frock” will be largely worn. It is made from dark blue and black diagonals or black and colored cloths and kerseys. Made from the same materials are the “ English walking coat” and the “cutaway.” That last-mentioned is cut to fit the form closely, and will be worn more generally by young men. The vests are cut from the same material, with or without collars, and buttoning up high. The tendency of all goods for trouserings is stripes, even though they are faintly defined in some cases. The suit known as the “ Alfonso” is bidding for popular favor. It is made from imported and domestic ca&simeres and cheviots, and is cut in tta form of a straight sack, cut round at the bottom of the skirt in front, with a short collar and plain wide sleeves. The vest is cut long, without collar, and the trouseys with wide seam and rather large-in the legs, but shaped gracefully. The Ldhdon sack “Regent”, and “Conservative,” With some unimportant changes in its outlines, will still be much worn.— N. Y. Post. Boston h<H? 2.227 places licensed to sell liquor.
