WHAT WELL-DRESSED MEN ARE WEARING

WHETHER masculine garb as femininity insists borrows its salient details from the fashions of the gentler sex, or whether the sartorial effects of femininity follow enviously the features of unattainable masculine habiliments, is a mooted question. At any rate the clothes of men and vmen, this season, have a surprisingly large number of features in common. For instance, the decided cutaway form of masculine and feminine coats; the obvious waistcoat, long-tabbed below the waistline; the prevalence of pin-tucking in both masculine shirts and feminine blouses; the pre-eminence of buttoned footwear for both masculine and feminine feet; the fad for white hosiery with black footwear; the slightly more figure-defining cut of garments above and below the hip line; the use of handkerchiefs with colored borders; the loose, raglan cut of overcoats; the dashing color note in Roman striping or modern art pattern expressed in feminine sashes and masculine neckties. It takes a deal of attention to detail to keep up with the kaleidoscopic changes of fashion as modern man has discovered; and he who loftily maintains that his only desire is to look neat and wear good materials is very likely to be left far behind in the matter of correct and knowing toggery. In masculine as well as in feminine dress, it is the little things that count. The wrong tie or the wrong boots can utterly spoil an unquestionable suit of clothes; and many a man with the best intentions in the world makes a laughing stock of himself in the matter of raiment to those familiar with the canons of correctness. The average man, for instance, would rather be shot than appear after September 15th in the

straw hat of midsummer; yet the same individual will set blithely forth for a formal evening entertainment togged out in the full panoply of dress clothes and wearing laced boots ! Now, as a matter of fact, a laced boot is exactly as improper at 15 minutes past seven as a straw hat is 15 days past September first; and the well dressed man, familiar with Us convenances of the wardrobe, makes no such errors in dress etiquette. Business Suits. Without being extreme in cut, the business and general suit of the moment is a very natty affair. The coat defines the figure a bit more than has been the case for several seasons, and, again referring to the similarity between man's and woman's attire, it may be said that all outergarments are now designed to suggest the lines of the figure beneath and to give as great an effect of slenderness and youth as is possible under the circumstances. The coat of the moment is especially close cut and has a certain siap and dashing youth fulness with its rounded-away shape at the front, its very long lapels and very short collar. It opens in a deep V to show the equally well cut waistcoat, high-cut at the neck and very long below the waist, with two sharply pointed tabs, or points. Trousers without suggesting tightness, have a cut that defines a well turned limb beneath, and are worn short enough to show a snappy buttoned boot. Such suits are made of cheviots, tweeds and homespuns, and the favorite color effects among well-dressed men are purples, browns and white pin-striped blacks and blues in unfinished worsteds. New Shirts. Pintucked shirt fronts have the day as far as ultra style is concerned, and

the tucking is so fine and even that sometimes it suggests a ribbed effect rather than actual tucks. Such shirts are of light colored chambray or fine white shirting printed in small, set designs like the clover leaf, shamrock or the fleur de lys alternating with fine stripes. A double cutf is attached to the shirt and the collar worn with it rounds well away at the fronts to show the tie. Fall Neckwear. Man's neckwear now were it a feminine article of dress would be called Futurist or Post Impressionist in effect; but though man is evidently following the New Art inspiration in costume from afar, he will not admit it, for these new neckties with their stiff and set little designs in gay colors are called in haberdashery shops "wall paper effects." With the gay tie go snappy striped socks and a handkerchief bordered in color in a neat and not too pronounced effect. An initial embroidered in the same color lends a note of extra distinction and individuality.

N Footwear. The buttoned boot is now the accepted model of good form for street as well as evening wear and such a business suit as has just been described will be accompanied, this winter, by buttoned boots cut on the new, long-vamp line which gives the foot a slim and rather aristocratic appearance and the medium high and wide toe will have the call in some sections. Such boots have tops of black or gray calf, the black topped-boot being of course a bit quieter and more conservative in effect. Many men are wearing white socks with such boots and young chaps of the under

graduate class affect white silk sockt with black pumps for dancing. The unquestionably correct footwear with evening dress is, however the buttoned boot of patent leather topped with cloth; and such boots are worn by well-dressed men who are fastidious about the correctness of minor details of the wardrobe. Evening boots have the same long, slim cut of street boots, though the sole is a hit more closely trimmed, which makes the foot appear even more slender than in a heavy soled walking boot. The evening boot has no perforated trimming or tip to mar the smooth excellence of its patent leather vamp and the buttoned top is of fine twilled cloth. Evening- Dress. The correct conventional costume for evening includes, besides the black coat and trousers which should be fashioned by the most expert tailor a man can afford a black waistcoat of silk or velvet, cut shield shape and having the smart Colonial points below the waistline, frequently worn with white buttons for contrast, a pin-tucked shirt of soft white linen, high notched collar and white dress tie, with white gloves. Less formal dress includes the dinner coat with a black or gray waistcoat and bat wing tie. Overcoat Styles. Overcoats of tweed, chinchilla and mor.tagnac fall just below the knee and have raglan shoulders and a full graceful back, sometimes belted. Dress coats of oxford gray vicuna have a trimmer cut and a well-shaped back. Raincoats of cravenetted cloth retain the full cut and raglan shoulder popular last season. Altogether there are many details that the well-lressed man must observe in order to be in the fashion this season. OF CLASS STREET.
