MEN WHO LOVE DRESS.
BOW THE PASSION GROWS UPON
ITS VICTIM INSENSIBLY.
Bo mo Notable Examples in New York—
Robert Garrett, Berry Wall and Rob
ert Hilliard-Frank Lord’s Perpetual
Frock Coat Judge Fitch's Full
Dross.
New York, Nov. 26.—The interest which
tnen take in their attire is more rapid and
intense than tiiey are usually willing to ad
mit. While there are no such possibilities
for varieties, picturesqueness and general
Intricacy in the clothes of men as there are
in the complicated attire of women, the art
yf the tailor has developed sufficiently with
in the past few years to give a man who
makes dress his study plenty of material to
loader over. The number of men who
make their clothes the most absorbing ob
ject of their existence in New York is by
jo means small, and some of the wardrobes
which club and society men sport would
astound a primeval citizen who considered
a frock coat, a dross suit and some rough
tweed clothes for business about all that a
man could desire. When the statement was
published that Robert Garrett had ninety
pairs of trousers iu his wardrobe, it was re
ceived with evidences of disbelief in some
quarters, and yet there are numbers of inwi
in New York wiio count their trousers by
the score, and who are not particularly fop
pish at that. The passion for wearing clothes
grows on a man insidiously. A friend of
mine, who is rather violently disturbed over
the matter of his personal appearance, in
discussing the matter tho other day, placidly
remarked:
ROBERT GARRETT ANT) HIS WARDROBE.
“Frank R. Stockton once wrote a story
that a man who hought a Queen Anne grate
Was then lured on from one purchase to
another under the spell of the decorative
craze until he was obliged to build a Queen
Anne cottage to match his belongings. The
man who falls a victim to clothes does it a
good deal in the same way, and Stockton
ought to be able to write a corking good
Story about a poor wretch who goes off in a
sudden flight of vanity and extravagance
and purchases a pair of overgaiters, from
which he is led on to boa monumental and
stupendous fop. It is when a man commits
his first indiscretion in the way of elegan
cies of attire th v. his downfall”begins. If
you are dressed in rough clothes and wear
heavy boots you will look well as long as
your attire is in harmony, but the very in
stant you buy a pair of overgaiters you ob
serve that your trousers look a bit frayed at
the bottom. You buy new ones. Then you
find that you want to have them ironed to
fie in the style. They are ironed. After this
the conviction is slowly but surely forced
upon you that the shoes are not quite up to
the standard of gaiters. You buy new
thoes, and patent leather ones, of course, ns
there is no use going half way. By this
time there is no shadow of doubt that tho
coat looks rusty and, after you have bought
anew coat and vest, you find that a fancy
waistcoat is almost as necessary as food.
You buy the waistcoat. Then, after a short
struggle, you are obliged to admit that
smooth-bosomed shirts are by no means in
harmony with the rest of your attire. Hence
pique and ribbed fronts, huge cuffs, tower
ing collars. After this expensive cravats
and, finally, if you are not very careful, a
fierce and ungovernable yearning for a sin
gle glass. This is the place to draw the line,
though it is not always drawn by the well
dressed men of New York. Then you want
a rose in yqur buttonhole and, finally, you
sally forth with the latest beaver hat and
the reddest of gloves and feel yourself com
pletely dressed. Then the trouble is that,
by the time all this is accomplished, you
suddenly discover that the overgaiters look
a little bit frayed. Then tho boots need ro
varnishing and theifs is a wrinkle in tho
back of the coat, but, worst of all, the
trousers bag a bit at the knees, and it is the
unwritten law of swelldom that by bis
trousers shall ye know him. From that
time on about one-third of your life must
tie given up to considerations of dress or
you will miss accomplishing what has be
come a cherished and overmastering ambi
tion My advice to mankind is beware of
the first step for fear you become a

E. BERRY WALL.
What has always struck me as being rather
curious is the unquestionable fact that in
nine cases out of ten the most expensively
dressed men are tho least dressed. Take
Mr. Garrett ajain, since he seems to be the
sensation of the day. I have seen him wear
twenty suits a week and yet never look par
ticularly showy or striking. His tendencies
were toward sack suits, and he never felt
absolutely at ease unless he had one on. As
ho was pudgy and plump of ligure and lial
a fut face, made fatter by a pair of side
w hiskers, the sack suit only shortened his
stature and made him look less imposing
than any other possible style of clothing. A
lot of men amused themselves watching
Garrett and criticising his apparel about
two years ago at Delmonico’s. He actually
wore five or six suit of clothes in the course
of the day, and they ranged in material
from a dark gray to a heavy brown and
reddish plaid. The coats were cut precisely
alike and they fitted the rotund millionaire
perfectly. But at no time did he look any
thing more than n well-to-do young grocer
or a ruddy cheeked truckman dressed for a
Sunday 'outing. Garrett’s collars were
t timed over, he wore sturdy English walk
ing boots and a low crowned derby hat.
There was no doubt that ho had fifty odd
sack suits.
It is curious how men w ill run into one
fashion of apparel. Somebody told Frank
Lord twenty years ago that he looked vastly
attractive in a frock coat. Ho has never
w orn anything else since. But he is one of
the best dressed men in New York, for the
coat is moulded well to the figure and the
sombreuess of the attire is lightened by
w hite overgaiters and a white waistcoat
which shows above tho -lapels of the coat.
He wears also a bright scarf, light gloves
anil a big rose to help out the general effect.
Another victim to a fixed fashion of attire
is Judge Fitch, of the St. Nicholas Club,
lie weal's evening dress morning, noon mid
night. Winter and summer it is always the
same. He is always clad in a clawhammer
coat, low-cut waistcoat and light tie. Dur
ing very hot weather he is apt to wear a
light straw hat, the effect of which with the
evening dress is decidedly odd.
There was a good reason for the supremacy
of Berry AVall among men of fashion, for,
despite the fun that is made of him, he is
unquestionably a well-dressed man in the
fullest sense of the word. It is very seldom
that he is betrayed into wearing loud or
gaudy clothes, except at race meetings,
where it is generally considered that a man
is justified in light checks ami horsey clothes.
I saw Berry Wall one day at Sleeps head
Bay, clad in the coolest looking covering
imaginable. He wore loose trousers of very
light material, in a small, black and white
check pattern. The coat was similar and
without lining or pqekets. It was almost
as thin as writing paper. Mr. Wall wore a
shirt of heavy ribbed material, und the
cravat and a very low waistcoat were made
of precisely the same stuff. Everything was
pure white, including the buttons and bind
ing on the w aistcoat. The shoes w-ere of
untanned leather, very low and light, and
the hose black. Mr. H all wore a light straw
hat, and was the picture of comfort and
coolness amid a sweltering multitude. He
wandered about with the careless air of a
man who is at ease, though there were oc
casional snoers at tho unusual nature of his
attire. I rather suspect that the majority
of the men present sincerely envied him.
But Mr. AVall is not often led into extrava
gances of this sort. He has a great many
suits of clothes that are of irreproachably
correct pattern and form. And, by the
way, Berry AVall is by no means tho doit
that the papers are so fond of painting him.
He is simply an amiable and rather dissi
pated man, with a fondness for clubs, racing
and the lighter amusements of the hour, but
he is not a bad companion or by any means
an unpopular man among men.
808 HILLIARD.
Mr. Bob Hilliard, w'ho has wrested the
title of king of the dudes from AVall, goes
in for elaboration in clothes. He will spend
weeks in perfecting various harmonies in
his attire, and will then appeal - in what
might he called a symphony in one or more
cardinal colors. One day everything he
wears is either brown or assimilating closely
to that shade, and then, again, the color of
his scarf, luuidkerchief, gloves, shirt, waist
coat, coat and gaiters will be gray, red or
any other shade that happens to strike his
fertile fancy. It is his originality in these
details that has made him king of "the dudes
in the face of the less violently assertive
Berry AVall.
The world seems to run on about the same,
however, no matter how a man dresses, but
it is worth observing that nobody ever
thinks of the attire of Jay Gould and of
the only millionaire who has ever shown a
violeut leaning to ward foppery has been
beaten out of his railroads and telegraph
enterprises and generally badgered about
until he has nothing left but his attire and
what was formerly a colossal fortune.

A BELLE OF BAD METAL.
Vain, Selfish, Heartless, She Goeth
Forth Conquering and to Conquer.
Here from Harper's Bazar is a descrip
tion, written with a scalpel’s point, of a
somewhat cruel creature;
Men are not individuals to the belle, but
merely numerals—number seventeen, or
whatever the case may be; as for their boat
iDg hearts, their longing souls, she does
not trouble herself at all; all that she wants
is the offer of their devotion—their scalps
to hang at her belt, so to speak, that all the
world may see and count. She is by no
means a sentimental girl, for she has no
emotions unless we call her desire and de
termination for conquest an emotion.
She does not think of others. There
are girls who love physical
exercise for itself; they will ride
over rough country, they will row against
tho tide, tnoy will shoot and play tennis in
the torrid zone, they will skate and tobog
gan, they will walk before breakfast and
swim for the mere love of it, not to show a
pretty costume, a neat and shapely foot, a
daring spirit of skill But the bolle, as a
usual thing, cares for none of these employ
ments unless they accentuate her charms,
unless they add to her laurels. If shooting
and dancing and rowing parties were all
composed of the feminine element the belle
would care for none of them. She
cares nothing for walking without
an escort; even talking, that exer
cise in which she is supposed to excel,
bores her if there are no men to listen. She
has a contempt for the feminine intellect;
but, surround her with admirers, and she is
in her element—she sparkles and flashes if
there is any brilliancy in her. There is
no trouble she is not willing to
take in order to win; she will
dance in mid-summer, although she
bates it; she will yacht, even at the risk of
nausea; she will picnic, although she trem
bles before spiders and snakes. She loves
the reputation of belle, and if America does
not furnish her a wide enough field, she goes
to Eurojie or upon the stage. If she is one
among a largo family, not content with pos
sessing the lion’s share of personal attrac
tion, she receives and accepts without a de
mur tho best of everything in tho way of
adornment. She is expected to make the
great mutch of the family, but it is more
often tho belle who becomes the old maid
than her sister, who is reudy to love, and is
not always reaching after a match that shall
lie brilliant in everything but love. Tho old
belle still believes in her power to fascinate;
she cannot resign her kingdom gracefully;
conquering hearts has become such a habit
with her that she cannot live without the
fond delusion that her charms are as fatal
as ever.

YOUR HOI
IS NOT FURNISHED
Ilia Fiano
Nothing completes the furnishing of a
house so well.
No present you could make your
family would be more acceptable or
give them so much enjoyment and
benefit.
If you had begun paying $lO per
month on a Piano two or three years
ago you would now have it paid for.
If you don't begin soon old age may
overtake you, and you will go through
life with an unfurnished uud cheerless
home. .
Why delay?
Pianos are cheap, very cheap. Never
so good for the money. Less than one
half their cost formerly.
And the terms aro so wonderfully
easy. Only a few Dollars paid monthly
will securo one.
Start in and it will be yours and paid
for before you know it.
We can suit you in quality and prices. Just
ont* look at our Warerooms will satisfy you on
that point and that we lead in Best Instruments
and Lowest Prices. Better Pianos for the
money are simply not to be bad. Call and we
will convince you of this fact.
