The business suit comprises a sack coat of tweed or cheviot, with waistcoat and trousers to match, or fancy waistcoat of linen or cloth, which should not be loud; the suit is sometimes made with cutaway coat in place of the sack; but the gar ment appears to be more appropriate to middle-aged than to young men, and it is more becoming to a slender than to a portly man. A derby, or soft felt hat, or straw, is worn, ac- cording to the season of the year. The shirt may be colored or white, with cuffs to match-the former being more con- sistent with the general character of the costume-with collar, stand-up or turn-down. The boots are black or tan; patent leathers are out of place with tweeds, but enamel is allowable.
Pique and white duck waistcoats are not in unison with the sack coat unless it be black. The coat and trousers always match in a business suit.
In the country, during the summer, a flannel outing suit, or one of tweed, light in weight and color, is the correct morn- ing dress. Blue or black serge, with white duck trousers, is also in good form. In the country a man may wear knicker- bockers until dinner time. The coat should match, or if not, it should be black or dark blue. Dittos-that is, coat, waist- coat and breeches to match-of a rough material, with heavy knit stockings of a similar shade, and tan boots, make the neatest combination.

The formal costume for wear after dark-evening dress- is variously called "swallow-tail," "claw-hammer" and "spike-tail." It consists of black coat, waistcoat and trousers of a style familiar to everyone. A double-breasted white waist- coat is often substituted for the black article, and although not absolutely necessary, it is very advisable to have on. The shoes are of patent leather, and the socks plain black silk. The shirt is of white linen, with standing collar and white string tie. White kid gloves and the opera hat complete the costume. The crush hat used to be necessary to complete evening dress, but the ordinary silk "topper" is taking its place.

The black cutaway has no very distinct functions, and will not admit of definite classification. It is an exceedingly use- ful garment, however, and there are occasions when nothing will quite take its place. Although it is worn for riding, and on other morning occasions, the black cutaway is most appro- priately used for informal evening wear, when the frock would be quite out of place, and in circumstances which preclude swal- low-tail or dinner jacket. It is the correct dress for evening church, a local concert, or other similar entertainment, and for a dinner or evening call, when the host is not likely to be en grande tenue, or the ladies in evening dress.

A man can usually get along nicely with three overcoats, and of course he may find uses for half a dozen if he can afford them. If the number is to be restricted, a heavy winter coat with long skirts, a rain coat, and a light covert, or Chesterfield, for spring and autumn, should be the selection. Each of these may, on occasion, be worn with evening dress, but the covert coat, by reason of its shortness, is adaptable only to wear with the dinner coat.

White gloves are worn with the dress suit on formal occa- sions, and are also the correct thing at day weddings. With the Tuxedo coat, gray suede and tan are worn, and the same

The informal evening dress is contrived by substituting the black sack Tuxedo coat for a claw-hammer. The black dress waistcoat or one of black silk-never the white-is worn with it. The tie is black silk, the collar upright, and the gloves suede or tan. A soft black hat is the proper thing to wear with a dinner coat-under no circumstances a high hat. The summer straw hat is often worn with the Tuxedo, but it is no more in accordance with the fitness of things than would be a tile. After sundown a light Alpine-they are made to weigh but a few ounces, and it is decidedly more appropriate. When in doubt which of the evening costumes to don, give the preference to the swallow-tail.

styles are used in calling, walking, etc. For business and sport- ing wear, dogskin is the most serviceable and appropriate.
The white shirt may be worn with any clothing, but it does not harmonize with the neglige character of tweeds, and is altogether out of place with an outing suit. A colored shirt cannot be combined with a frock coat-nor, for that matter, with a black cutaway-without violating good taste.
The turn-down collar is neglige, and should only be worn with garments of a similar, character. It is the appropriate accompaniment of an outing or sack suit, and is not in bad form with the dinner coat; but it should never be seen with a ommend dress coat, frock or black cutaway.
The standing collar is good form on all occasions and the man who may for the sake of convenience and comfort restrict himself to one style should adopt the latter. A daily change of necktie gives variety to one's appearance. The cravat is one of the most conspicuous articles of wear, being more frequently than any other directly in the line of sight.
The effects of certain colors in conjunction with one's dress, complexion, etc., should be considered. A sallow man should never wear light browns, but he can carry off reds that would be in dissonance with a fair complexion. Light blues and pinks have no place in a gentleman's wardrobe. The tie should be selected with a view to the effect in connection with the prevailing color of the dress. Scarcely any kind of light shade will harmonize with tweeds. A white or very light tie should only be worn with a black coat and waistcoat. A black tie goes well with a black coat when a white waistcoat is worn. Black or dark blue is effective in toning down a shirt or fancy waistcoat which has an inclination to be boisterous. Do not wear a made-up tie of any description. Although the four-in-hand is sometimes worn with the frock coat, it is nothing like as chic in that connection as the Ascot. The four-in-nand goes very well with a black cutaway; but even in

that case, if a white, double-breasted waistcoat forms part of the costume, the Ascot is in better style.
The white cravat for evening dress, and the black silk tie with the dinner jacket, are the correct things.

The socks should match or harmonize with the clothing. The very pronounced or startling colors are in bad taste. Black hose is correct under all conditions, and no other should be worn with boots. Browns, the darker shades of blue, and neu- tral tints, go with low shoes and outing or business suits.

A high hat must not be worn with a tailless coat of any de- scription. With swallow-tails, the tile or crush hat is im- perative; the latter is en regle for extra formal affairs, such as the opera, balls, etc. Neither is permissible in combination with a dinner. coat. The silk hat is the only headgear allowable with a frock coat, and the proper complement to a black cut- away suit, but it should never be worn with tweeds, even though they be cut with skirts.
The "topper "is the only variety of headgear which may be made to indicate mourning, and even that is somewhat old- fashioned nowadays. The band should not be worn on any other kind of hat.
The fact that your frock cr dress coat is concealed by an overcoat does not decrease the obligation to wear a high hat with it.

Patent leathers are always worn with swallow-tails or the frock, but must never be combined with any but a black coat. Calf or kid of the cnamel variety are appropriate accompani- ments to the serge or tweed suit, and especially when a white shirt is worn. Tan shoes are the proper footwear with outing costume. They are appropriate in informal morning dress, when a colored shirt forms part of it.

mere ornament. The ring is no exception, for a signet is the thing of the kind a man should carry on the hand, and that still fulfills its old office in acting as a seal. A watch chain should be plain and light, without charm or pendant of any kind in sight. It is stretched from one pocket of the waistcoat to the other, and may have a locket, match safe or souvenir trinket attached to it, but the place for that article is the right-hand pocket. The fob-a relic of the days of our grandfathers-is enjoying a revival. It is somewhat old-fashioned and inap- propriate for young men. If worn, it should be black silk, with simple pendant.
Studs should be small, of gold, without stones, or of mother of pearl, always worn in a white shirt, never in a neglige shirt. A scarf pin is in place in an Ascot; indeed, it is a necessity. A four-in-hand does not require a pin to hold it in place, and the better form is to wear it without one. Sleeve links con- taining precious stones are in bad taste.
A gentleman finds no other use for diamonds than to deck his wife and daughters with them. The man who wears dia- monds studs and rings is in danger of being taken for a book- maker or a pawnbroker.

A gentleman will not offer his arm to a woman in daytime unless there is actual need of her taking it. The arm should be offered to an old lady, one who is infirm or an invalid, in going through a throng or crossing a very crowded street. A gentle- man should never take a woman's arm. At night a man should offer his arm to a woman. If there be two, he will extend the protection to the elder, the other walking beside her-never on the other side of him.

protect her skirts with one hand from contact with the wheel; the other hand may aid her in stepping up, if necessary. A man should not escort a woman on horseback unless he is a fairly good rider. In assisting a woman to mount, take her bridle in ycur left hand, and bending the knee, lower the other hand until she can place her left foot in it. When she rises, with the aid of your shoulder, straighten up steadily, retaining the foot until she is in the saddle. See that she is comfortable and secure, bridle and whip in hand, foot in stirrup and -skirt adjusted, before you mount. Ride at her right hand; never turn your back to a woman with whom you are riding; pass round behind her. If you meet a lady on horseback who desires to speak with you, always approach her on the off-side.
When making an afternoon call, the maid will probably offer a tray for your card; if not, leave it in the hall, but never carry it into the drawing-room, even though you be a stranger to the hostess. Divest yourself of your overcoat and leave it, with your hat, stick, and gloves, in the hall. In case of a first call, it is perhaps better to carry the hat and stick in with you. An overcoat is never worn in a drawing room. Remove the glove from your right hand before entering. Keep these things in your left hand whilst you are in the drawing-room. If it should be necessary to put them away, lay them on the floor beside your chair, and be sure that there is no likelihood of their being in the way of anyone. Advance at once to the hostess without stopping to greet any acquaintance. A man will rise when a woman enters or leaves, and stand to the side of his chair until she is seated or has left the room. He will not concern himself about seats for newcomers; the hostess will attend to that.

Every act of hospitality of which you have been the bene- ficiary must be acknowledged by a call, and, indeed, an invita- tion entails a similar obligation, even though you do not accept it. Such calls should be made about a week after the event. A reception, which is in the nature of a call on a large scale, requires no sequel; but it is necessary to call after a dinner or luncheon, opera or theatre party, whether one has accepted the invitation or not.

The etiquette of visiting cards is very simple, compared with what it was not many years ago. We no longer turn down the corners of cards or fold them, and the custom of leaving a package of them on almost every occasion has gone out. Two cards will ordinarily serve the purpose-one for the host, and the other for the hostess and her daughter. If the family is entertaining a visitor, add another. The card should be left the day after a dinner, ball or other formal occasion, which entails a call.

Being unable to attend a reception to which one has been invited, it is good form to send a card for the host, and one for the hostess, timed, if possible, to arrive whilst the affair is in progress, adding one more if the reception is in honor of an individual.

ETIQUETTE NOTES. 303
If you call upon a friend who is staying with people who are strangers to you, leave cards for the latter.
As a rule, introductions are not made in public. Introduc- tions en masse are to be avoided if possible. It will sometimes happen that you must introduce a person to several others at the same time. In that case just mention the name of the in- dividual and those of the others in turn. When introduced to a lady at a ball or similar function, do not fail to show her some attention in the course of the evening. General presenta- tions are not customary at a formal dinner, but the host or hostess will introduce you immediately upon your arrival to the lady you are to take in.
Men are expected to look after themselves and others at receptions, and to give as little trouble as possible. If the hostess has reason to think that you are a stranger to every- one in the room, she will probably make you the special charge of a man who is likely to prove congenial.
At an elaborate dinner a number of wines may be served; white wine with the oysters; sherry with the soup; champagne comes in with the fish, and remains on duty. The game is rein- forced by Burgundy. In addition, whisky and potash or seltzer may be offered, and liquors will be served with the coffee.
Nothing short of long training will carry one through such a course of liquids with a clear head, and the young fellow who is not sure of himself had better wait for the champagne and restrict himself to it, or decline wine entirely, which he may do with perfect propriety, and without incurring the charge of singularity which the act would have entailed a few years ago).

However, the tendency is to serve fewer wines, and to have them of an excellent quality. At a small dinner, one wine- generally claret-frequently does duty throughout the meal.

There is only one occasion when bread may be put in the plate. That is in conjunction with a fork in eating fish when special knives are not provided. Bread is broken, not cut. As bread is eaten dry with hot meats, butter will not generally appear at the dinner table, unless it be in connection with cheese.
Croquettes, rissoles, timbales-all entrees, in fact-are eaten with a fork and in no other way. Cut off the tips of asparagus with a fork, and convey them to the mouth upon it.

The leaves of artichokes are picked off with the fingers, and the ends opposite the tops are eaten. Lettuce should not be cut up, but handled with the fork only.
Fruit is pared and cut up with the silver fruit knife, after which it may be put into the mouth with the fingers, or with a fork. When you have finished a dish, place your knife and fork together, and towards the side of the plate.

It is not an uncommon thing to see a man make a hod of his fork, and, using the knife for a trowel, slap one thing upon another until he gets a full load, which is not always safely carried to the mouth.
