THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY,: OCTOBER 26, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. STYLES FOR MEN Some of the Latest Wrinkles in Fashionable Attire. COATS, TROUSERS AND HATS How They Should Conform to Fashionable Rules. SPRING SHAPES AND COLORS —————— HILE THE WINTER WV season will bring forth innovations in men’s dress, they will not be of the radical sort. The double- ] breasted frock is here, as it has been for two seasons past, and so is the three- Th sew button cutaway frock Ader! and the four-button Desty cutaway sack. The designers have been devoting themselves principally to modifications during the past few months, and have merely cut down the Sines of spring tailoring, with an added touch of finish here and there where artis- tic symmetry was lacking. The frock coat, as worn at Easter, was found too long to be graceful, and conse- gvently has been shortened. The abbrevia- Gut. ef Jopcoal— eel! /2, a tion Is not a great deal—not more than two inches in extreme instances—yet the im- prevement in effect is readily discernible. ‘The skirts hang full at the bottom, are well draped about the hips, and the shoul- ders and breast are wide and shapely. This gives a small effect at the waist, and throws out the lines of the figure to ad- Wantage. The skirts of the cutaway are sloped gradually from above the lower vest but- ton to a narrow point not more than an inch below the knee. The fashionable col- Jar Is quite long, with a wide notch, and the roll is full six inches. In nearly all materials the lapéls are faced with silk— frequently to the edge. The most popular fabrics of the season are vicunas and un- finished worsteds, Thibet cloths and chev- ots. The distinctive new colors for day dress are brown, olive brown and deep shades of green. The many variations of blue and Dlue and red mixtures which have been so popular during the past year or two are no longer in vogue, their place being filled by a rich, dark “Oxford” gray. Both the double-breasted and the cut- away frocks are made with stitched edging or with narrow binding, according to the character of the fabric selected. Coat Y The. latest A, Te kas € sleeves are of moderate fullness, and are made as straight as practicable, the round- ed or curved elbow being altogether ob- solete. For formal use vests are cut from the same piece as the coat, dnd are made double-breasted, with four closely-spaced buttons, and shield-shaped opening. The business suit par excellence fs the feur-button cutaway sack of cheviot or English plaid effects in woolly finish. The coat averages thirty-one inches in length, and trousers, coat and vest are cut from the same piece. The cont is shaped to the figure at the sid® seams only, the back and fronts being of straight cut. About Trousers. Since time out of mind the tailors have been wrestling with the problem of how to make trousers that will not bag at the knees. At last they seem to have succeeded by a simple trick in the cutting. AN trousers this season will be made according a Culla cle Sok fo the alleged new discovery. They are large at the hips and slope down with al- most straight seams to the bottoms, which measure from sixteen to seventeen tnches, ywith a width at: the knee of nineteen or twenty inches. There is a marked tendency toward stripes in trousers fabrics, and it iv expected that during the next few weeks the inclination will become fully developed. Worsteds and caasimeres have enjoyed an extensive popularity, but there is a demand for something new, and the cheviots in a large variety of gray, Oxford, slate and ‘wood tints are shown in combinations so beautiful that they give every promise of ®ccupying the place of favor. The fashionable top coat just reaches to ‘the bend of the knee, the length varying from thirty-four to thirty-eight inches. The back is shaped rather closely to the lines of jthe body above the waist, with the lapels ee the collar two inches in width and the extending to the second of the five evenly spaced buttons in front. The fa- Yored colors are velour-colored cheviots, and ‘own, Oxford and London smoke in ely- Sian beaver. The covert top coat, which {Was originally designed as a garment to be Brorn on horseback and was for that rea- La son made short, but which in spite of pro- test grew into popular favor for street wear, is still in evidence this season. It is even shorter than it has been for sev- eral years, and can be worn only with a sack coat. The hatters have done but liétle for the advancement of fashion, unless it be con- ceded that holding on to a good thing is better than experimenting upon something startling and new. The bell-shaped silk hat Dube realcl Sack is, of course, the pink of good form, but so it was last season. The crown Is the same as heretofore, but the curl of the brim and the set are a trifle sharper—that’s all. The derby is a little flatter in the crown, and the brim a trifle wider and of sharper curl. Otherwise the difference between the win- ter derby and the Easter prototype {s im- material. The English derby is high in the crown and almost flat at the top, with a D’Orsay brim. The tourist hat is still in form in at least forty different shapes. The datest creation has a full crown, a wide band, and is worn with- only a top crease, the sides of the crown being perpendicular, or nearly so. Neckwear. There is more novelty in neckwear than in any other article of men’s wear this season. The Ascot is in use, and so is the moderate-sized puff. Extremes of all kinds have been outlawed, and the principal in- novation is a stock scarf, which can be tied into a flat bow, an Ascot, a flat or a De Joinville. In collars the poke, with wide spacing, will lead all other styles for both day and evening wear. An attractive “turndown” is also shown, with deep points and wide spacing, and is considered the proper thing for conservative men, ‘who wish to dress well and fashionably without going to extremes. The plain besom shirt, in both linen and percale, is the only style recognized among smart dressers. Both two and three-eyelet bos- oms are in good form, but the former is the more favored. Patent leather shoes are still fashionable, but they are not by any means in the lead of the procession. A fad which came from England last season, and is still popular, is enameled grain leather. It is very simi- lar to the patent leather in finish, but ts Tenewtt Brey tougher and is procf against cracking. The spring shapes hold over, and if there is any change in style it is that the toes shall be sharper end longer than ever. Laced shoes are alone fashionable. es AN EGG CAME BETWEEN THEM. How the Happiness of Two Young People Was Imperiled. From the Philadelphia Record. An every-day hen’s egg nearly caused a rupture between a Chester young woman and her lover. While in the poultry yard two weeks ago she picked up the egg and placed it in the pocket of her mackintosh, but before she returned to the house the egg was forgotten. The mackintosh was hung on a hook and was not disturbed un- tll a night or two ago, when it was donned by the young lady, and when the arm of the lover embraced her the long-suffering egg gave way Soon the lover grew abstracted, and gradu- ally withdrew his arm. He edged off from the girl, and, touched to the quick and not un- derstanding his coldness, she also widened the space. Finally, seizing his hat, the lover muttered an excuse and left the premises, and the girl fled into the house, «here she burst into tears. The broken egg made its presence felt In the house to the cther members of the family, but as the young lady had a cold she had not noticed the aroma which drove off her lover. A receneillation followed, and the lover ex- plained that he was angered to think that the girl he loved could tolerate an odor so awful as that. --2e*+—__ Indian Decorations. From the Upholsterer. Seekers of the ‘quaint and curious” are beginning to think of American Indian decorations. An acquaintance who visited Alaska not long ago made a coilection of bags, boxes, paddles and “totem’’ poles, with an eye to the decoration of his re- ception hall. He found his first treasures at Fort Wrangle in the form of a hand- somely carved paddle, a bark rug, horn spoons and bone daggers and stowed them away, in his state room. That night he did not sleep a wink. The odor from those Indian things was something not to be de- scribed. The purser had to put them and the rest of his collection down in the hold for the remainder of the trip. When he reached home he had to have the things unpacked in the back yard and thoroughly cleansed with soap, water and a scrubbing brush before he dared have them brought into the house. Indian blankets are used with good effect as rugs and portieres, where “wigwam” furnishings are used. A pair of such blan- kets large and fine enough to drape a door- way costs considerable, we have seen some at $20, some at $200—depends on the work. —_+-e+—___. Ineligible. From Harper's Bazar. ‘Have you ever loved another, George?” fo, Maud, no. I swear by all—” “Never mind that. If you say It, I be- lieve it, but I cannot be yours. A man who has lived as long as you have without ever loving must be innately a woman-hater,and I shall never marry a woman-hater. Good evening, Mr. Jones. Maria (calling the maid), you may send Mr. Wilkins up. I am disen- gaged.” soe Meteorological From the Indianapolis Journal. Peddler: ‘‘Want a fine barometer that will tell you all about the weather?

DRESSES AND CLOAKS. Trimming Must Be Profuse if One is to Be in the Style. Here is an item from a first-class French authority on trimming for winter dresses and cloaks: teries in arabesque or Persian patterns ap- Pear on coats of finest ladies’ cloth made by Parisian tailors, and with these-trimmings on models for winter wear are combined additional trimmings of fur in martin, Alaska sable, seal, mink, Persian lamb, fox or chinchilla.” That will give you some idea of the extravagance that will prevail in trimmings the coming winter. Another authority says: “The new silks are of sur- passing beauty, and of the quality that ‘stands alone.’ They are ideally adapted to the historical styles of which there is at present a renaissance. “The Marie Antoinette silks, about which so much has been written, are as gorgeous as were, perhaps, the originals worn by the elegant queen herself. They are employed either for entire gowns or only for the accessories that are abundant in these modified old-time fashions.”* One of the popular modes in vogue for using the Marie Antoinette silks is to make them up in redingote style. The petticoat 1s made of the silk, and the redingote of some soft wool or plain silk, and the effect is often most gorgeous. These effects may be imitated at a much less cost by using the handsome French challies and cash- meres, which are flowered in exquisite pat- terns and colors. The Louis XVI silks are flowered and striped, the stripes distin- guishing them from the Marie Antoinette silks, which invariably introduce garlands. Otherwise they are all exactly alike as to coloring. An elegant party gown which will appear at a soon-to-transpire wedding is of palest pink peau de sole, brocaded in floral design in green and brown, and trimmed at the foot of the very full skirt with fan-plaited ruching of yellow ehiffon, embroidered in pink. The very large sleeves are perfectly plain, but the half-low rounded neck has the chiffon about the shoulders and in the bordering of the full box plait in front. Bee Se LAVENDER IN THE LINEN. Nowadays a Hint of Perfume is Proper, but Only a Hint. From Harper's Bazar. The extent to which perfumes were used in old times, indeed in times not so old at all, would be something remarkable if it were not remembered that they often took the place of the absent bath. In the me- diaeval days this was an obvious fact; but in the days of the Greek and Roman the bath was so universal a luxury that they only supplemented it in the shape of richly scented unguents. These are as important a part of the toilet of the oriental women today as they were of the elegant Italians four hundred years ago. But as it came to be recognized that much of this per- fume was used as a disguise for unclean- liness, its use about the. person in any strong way was regarded as a vulgarity, and it was only thought fine to be odor- jess. When this principle had been thoroughly established, and with it the habit of the frequent bath also, the luxury of life reas- serted itself, and perfumes were again in request, but in mcderate and very dainty and delicate form. There are perfumed waters now used in the crimping of the hair, and there are little sachets to be worn in the corset, and French dressmak- ers often shake very fine powders between the linings in the bodies of the gowns they make, so that they shall give out a mere hint and suspicion as the wearer passes, as if she came from some land of flowers and brought a mere dream of remembrance of their fragrance with her. Anything more than this hint would be barbarous, and a return to the crude old habit when every one who could must have gone about “drip- ping with Sabaean spice.” —-+e<-— ABOUT CREPO! A Frock That Would Be Becoming for a Little Girl. The new crepons are perfectly beautiful. A durable underfacing forms the founda- tion of most of them, making them much more desirable as dress fabrics than the first that came out. The richest of them are silk-faced, and the variety is legion. They do not crush or pull out of shape as those of last sea- son did, either. A great many of them have a bright color- ed ground with the crinkle running over it in black, forming a striking and rath- er novel contrast. A bright yellow ground with brown crinkles is very rich, and a dark green, overrun with crinkles of red brown silk, is siraply elegant. Blue and gold is ancther favorite. A pretty little frock for a little girl imitates the Louis XVI style just a little, being a dainty bit of French cashmere, dotted with pink silk rings, over a petticoat of pink liberty silk, pink silk forming the ruching about the redingote, shoulder ruffles and belt, which is fastened with a tiny pearl buckle. SS A Woman’s Devotion. From the Chicago Times-Herald. Ingemine Jensen, tall and blonde, as most of the women of Denmark are, has given Perth Amboy a great surprise. Her act was not that of a new woman, but rather that of the old woman, faithful to the ob- ject of her affections, though for years not ceasing to love him when thousands of miles of ocean separated them and his con- duct had shown him to be unworthy of it all. Yet the pretty Dane, finding herself by the death of her parents in possession of a fortune of $28,000, crossed the sea and arrived in Perth Amboy to find her loved one a shiftless town drunkard. He was asleep on the floor of a beer-bottling shop when she saw him. Within an hour they were married. Within a day he was dress- ed in new clothes and sharing, with his bride, a handsomely furnished house. “I loved him, I came for him, I will make a good man of him,” said the young woman as she exhibited the marriage certificate that makes her Mrs. Tom Iverson. —+ e+—___. Kitchen Love, From Fliegende Blatter. “What! such a little sausage! Katie, you almost force me to become untrue.” “Very handsome passemen-- USE oF LACE. It Comes High, but It is All the Go for Modish Garmcnts. At my dressmakeris the other day I saw @ letter from a Parisian couturiere, in which she was setting forth the extrava- gance of American women in the matter of dress. “No women in the world today are paying so much ettention to dress and spending so much mgney for it,” she said. I And she wrote the truth. You may howl hard times as much as you please, it re- mains true that more millions went abroad for fine clothes, silks, satins and laces of the costliest character this season than ever before, and more money, was spent at home in preparing the autumn attire than ever before in the history of the country. Not that women are getting any greater number of gowns, but they are so deter- mined to have the'very latest agony in fabrics that they are willing to pay almost fabulous sums for the same. Think, for instance, of borders of lace for the bottoms of gowns, and pockets, collars and small capelets for the same coming as high as $50 for the set. Before you shriek at that price, just examine some of these costly fancies. Here is one set of two pieces, cape and border for the gown. The gown itself is of heavy leaf green satin, made rather plain- ly as to skirt and with a blouse waist, the big buttons on it being covered with spe- cially woven lace. The bottom of the gown is cut in semi-vandykes, and under them is set a lace-covered satin border, which is edged with a roll of finest mink. The cape is of the same, and you can buy a frenzy of this character for $40! When this visit- ing gown is topped off by a green satin hat with pink roses and green velvet in the front and tall plumes standing up at the sides it makes a swell-looking costume. WOMENLY WOMEN. A Practical Interest in Home and in Outside Affirs as Well. From the Brooklyn Citizen. It is a great mibtake to think that be- cause a woman is’dothesticated she must in consequence be uf, dowdy, old-fash- ioned, and altogether, out of the social sphere. A domesticated woman need not be a mere domestic:drudge, whose thoughts and conversation are eonfined wholly and solely to her household duties, the servants and care of the nursery; who can take no Interest in art, Iterature, politics or s0- ciety. It is quite possible even in these days of rush and hurry, as,many women have proved, to take a, personal and practical interest In her hothe dnd belongings, and at the same time ‘keep in touch with the deeper, fuller life of thie outside world. To look well after her own household is:the duty and should tet the pleasure of every woman. Even those who have to leave the shieltet of their hotties to work in she busy world outside—and“what a number’ of re- fined women have, to do this in the pres- ent day—need not neglect their homes, for it is not so much time that is necessary for the smooth working of a household as thought, method and punctuality. If the machinery is put in good working urder not much time will be required to put it in motion each day. Women's duties are varied, as well as domestic, for it is a duty as well as a pleasure to move in pleasant society, to keep up old friends and make new ac- quaintances—a duty we owe to ourselves 2s well as to others, for none of us is meant for self alone. A domesticated wo- man can fulfill these duties; for, ving in the calm and peaceful atmosphere of a well-ordered home, she has time that the woman who is always rushing about and ing to do everything cannot command. The truth {s that the women who lead lives of excitement and rush do so not te- cause they really like it, but because it ts what they consider fashionable. If the tide were once turned, they would gladly follow it, and, in foliowing it, cover that their lives were fuller and hap- pier than in the days when they ran about, breathlessly, with complaints of no time, and a bustling air that deceived no one except phemeelves: HOW SHE HEARD. Some Feminine Amenities Passed in Kentucky. From the Loutsville Courler Journal. We know news when ‘se kear !t or read it, but little do we imagine the various and intricate channels through which such items come. In almost every case the sources and course of a bit of news would be far mere interesting than the matter imparted. As a crricus instance is quoted the recent case of two Louisville women, who ere “great friends,” as the phrase goes, but from one cause or another have not met for several weeks, though living only a few squares apart. The other night one dame went down to visit the other one, and said, on entering the house: “Margaret, I came down to see you be- cause I heard you were sick.” “Well,” answered Margaret, who seemed a trifie out of sorts, “you took your time it it. I have been siek a week.” * Deborah replied, “but I couldn’t come sooner, because you took such a rourdabout way of letting me know you were sick.” “Roundabout way? I don’t remember sending you any word at all—how did you They , yu wrote the news to your daugh- ter Alice in Milwaukee, she wrote to my daughter Mary in New Orleans, Mary men- tioned it when she wrote to me—and that is how I happened to come over.” o0-—— The Doctar Got Even.

One girl, whose love of the beautiful is great, but whose purse is not correspond- ingly heavy, has furnished her room so prettily that the observer would scarcely guess how inexpensively it has all been done. She had a set of ordinary painted cottage furniture. Having plenty of time at her disposal, she scraped with sand- paper all the old paint from the bed, bu- reau, washstand and three chairs. These she painted herself with white enamel paint. It was not a small task, but she accepted no assistance.. The village car- penter made her a set of smooth pine book shelves, which she treated as she had done the rest of her furniture. “The floor she covered with white matting, and in front of her bureau she laid a white fur rug bought at a Japanese shop in New York for two dollars and 4 half. At the two windows were white scrim sash curtains, and on the side toward the room hung yellow denim portieres at thifty-five cents @ yard. On these, about a foot from the floor, was outlined a row of fieurs-de-lis in white rope silk. On the walls was a cheap white paper with a tiny gilt figure. The only pictures were several simple en- gravings in wide gilt frames. These frames were made of plain pine, “flowed” with glue, and then sprinkled thickly with rice. When this was perfectly dry and firm, the frames were carefully covered with gold paint. The effect was very pretty. The bureau scarf and the scarf on the tiny stand were of white momie cloth worked with yellow silk. The pincushion was yel- low, covered with white lace, and mouchoir and glove cases were yellow and white. A light Japanese screen in pale gold color concealed the washstand from view. The toilet set on this same stand was not an expensige one, but its design was of yel- low flowers on a white ground, and thus carried out the prevailing idea of the room. There was an open fireplace in this apartment, and the plain mantel was painted white. On the hearth stood a pair of brass andirons, but on the day that I was there the fireplace was filled with a great bunch of golden rod. A low ottoman, on which wera piled several cushions cov- ered with yellow India silk, stood at one corner of the hearth. The whole apart- ment had about it a look of purity and freshness that was delightful. It remind- ed one irresistibly of the chamber “looking toward the east whose name was Peace.” Of course all this furnishing took time and trouble, but it cost little, and many young girls have so much more time than money that they could well afford to spend their unoccupied hours in transforming their rooms. I doubt whether a profes- sional decorator could have pleased this girl as well. ——_—_++______ + MOURNING ATTIRE. A Style That is Thought to Be Suit- able for a Widow. Some of the new mourning goods are strikingly elegant, but it is rather a novel fact that excepting black crepe and dull jet, there is scarcely any distinction be- tween mourning black goods and the same color for the mondaine. A few nice points are made in mourning attire that very well informed women forget some- times, and one of those is that no dia- monds should ever be worn by a woman in first or seccnd mourning. No feathers should be worn on the bonnet, and the hair must be ieft perfectly plain. Don’t ask this chronicler of. fashion why a wo- man who mourns departed friends in deep- est black should further add to her bur- dens by making a guy of herself. It is so because custom has made it so. An attrac- tive mode for a widow {s found in a fine black cashmere, with an eighteen-inch border of crepe anglais. The round circle cape is of the cashmere, and has a double ruching of black glace taffeta. The second cape is adjusted with a wide bow of the crepe under the chin. A little out of the usual line is the knot of crepe on the side of the bonnet, and the veil is dolorously long, and of crepe, which is the popular veiling for a widow in her first months of sorrow. gy ——— A Picturesque Russian Chair. From the Upholsterer. On the occasion of the festivities incident to the coronation of the present Czar of Russia, the gift of the peasants of the royal estates, through the court: cabinet- maker, was an oaken chair, expressing in its details the loyalty and affection of the simple people, for their ruler. In all its parts the national implements of service and pleasure are indicated. The upright back, which 1s curiously continued as the front supports, represents the “Duga,” or yoke of the horse, and the space inclosed by the arch is filled by the “Balalaika,” the national musical instrument. Arms for the chair are formed by “Tapo: axes, and on the seat is carved a fac-simile of the “Ragoshka,” or mat of the country, into which everything carried by the peasant is packed. On the carved mat le hewn in re- lief the “ruckawitzy,” or gloves, which are constantly in the hands of the workingman. CONTINUOUS SEWING MACHINE STITCH SCHEME FOR A MANTLE VALANCE.
