PERSONS who saw lady Injured by cahir at Grand st. and Broadway, Mondajr »-- «- communicate with.-" " But—" " There is no ' but ' ; you have asked my advice and I am the ' Man-Who- Knows-What-You-Want ' — at least, I ought to know, after giving it all these years of study." " Now let me begin at the begin- ning — the man undressed." " Night shirts are right, as you say, but pajamas are better ; not only more comfortable, but, in case of a sudden call to activity, you are conscious of appearing well — a gentleman should appear well in any emergency, as the old phrase runs." " No, bath robes are not worn in bathing ; the purpose they serve is that of a huge towel, made up, so ought Personal always to be of Turkish toweling or like material." " Bath slippers should be without heels ; slippers of all kinds without heels are most consoling; but in either case, use plain, staid slippers, not the kind worked by 'the fair Arabella.' " " Now to go on to the next stage, underwear ; like all that's under cover, it reflects the man himself." " Some men, in Summer, wear none at all, believing themselves cleaner and cooler without ; others wear cot- ton or linen, with a change for each day ; some are irritated in mind if they wear anything but wool ; others are irritated in body if they do wear it ; those who like to appear well under all circumstances incline to fancy stripes and bright colors — comfort, in- clination, not fashion, presides over underwear." Personal " Yes, brilliant-hued stockings are correct just now ; but while ' they come and go, black goes on forever.' " " Wear black, and you are certain of being on the safe side ; again, they are economical ; apply the story of the maid-servant, who, reprimanded for making bread with hands not over- clean, replied : ' Why, mum, it's brown bread I'm a-making.' " " When it comes to shirts, all else is unimportant as compared to don- ning fresh ones every day." " Where and how they open, matters comparatively little so long as they open in front — but don't have the bosoms festooned with garlands of embroidered flowers ; that should be relegated to the fashion plates of those j ournals that no one, who is anyone, ever reads ; the simpler they are the better." " Have your cuffs a part of your shirt — it forces you to change when Personal you should ; but, if you must wear de- tached ones, detach them, don't re- verse them." " Why, nonsense, of course if you can't afford to indulge in all the little distinctions and niceties of dress, it doesn't make you out any less a gen- tleman ; if anything, it's more often men-of -wealth who know the least on this and allied subjects." " You remember the millionaire who went to the great silversmith for des- sert knives, and wouldn't buy them because they were ' too sharp for pie and would cut his mouth.' " " Let me say here, one's financial condition has more to do with such questions than fashion. But attention to dress is not trivial, for while ' it doesn't make a man, it often helps to . make a successful one ' ; and the study of it, at any rate, will prevent the wearing of red neckties at funerals." 18 Personal " Speaking of that, there is only one proper dress for men to wear at fune- rals : a black frock coat, dark trousers, dull scarf — not necessarily black, silk hat and grey gloves — black, only when you are a relative or close friend." " And you must not forget that black clothes don't constitute mourn- ing. A black satin tie or velvet collar is not mourning. On the other hand, don't wear a wing collar, with the wings black, a shirt and handkerchief edged with black — or any like abom- inations which light-hearted French- men use to express their grief." " Nor, as is popularly supposed, does the height of one's hat -band express the depth of one's grief, any more than as your grief diminishes does your hat-band keep pace with it." " From this formal subj ect we might turn to afternoon formality — frock coats. We are commencing at the Personal wrong end of the story, but never mind. All men out of business — any man who can afford to be away from business of an afternoon and at places where dress is looked for, should in- variably wear one." " Generally speaking, it is the coat for any fashionable function be- tween mid-day and candle-light — you wouldn't, of course, wear it at a clam bake, however swagger." " It should be double-breasted, worn with a waistcoat of the same material as the coat, or of white duck, brown holland or similar wash stuffs — single or double-breasted. Seldom,if ever,should it be worn with a really fancy waistcoat ; and when the trousers are light in color, as they very properly may be, a waist- coat to match the coat is preferable." " Trousers should always be of dif- ferent material from the coat — usually quiet in tone." Personal " A white shirt is the best form, though a colored shirt on certain oc- casions is correct; but it should be used just as is the fancy waistcoat — sparingly." " Patent leather or calfskin shoes, high or low, are right ; but don't for- get, ' if at a wedding your part of the ceremony forces you to kneel, to blacken the soles.' " " Your collar, with the frock, should always be of the standing order. Don't wear a frock coat with russet shoes or a turn-down collar; for, as Punch says : " It's worse than wicked, it's vulgar." " At a wedding, or any other indoor day function, the tie should be light or white, four-in-hand or Ascot. When calling or walking, a darker one is preferable. At church, for this is Sunday's dress as well, a dark or light tie, according to weather and season." Personal " ' Tying a tie comes by instinct.' If you lack the instinct, a ready-made tie, well made, is better than the other kind poorly made ; and besides, a man who can tie only one tie is restricted to one style — but tie it yourself if you possibly can." " Should you wear a frock coat for an evening wedding ? Most certainly not; an evening call or wedding re- quires evening dress. You know, of course, that at an afternoon or evening wedding, the bridegroom, the ushers, and all the men dress alike." " Yes, you should wear a scarf pin in your Ascot. A certain amount of jewelry is allowable, every one grants ; but with jewelry 'omission is better than commission.' To particularize : a small watch-chain, a plain ring, pins for your Ascot ties, cuff buttons, col- lar buttons, and simple studs — the list is completed. It is so much better to Personal err on the side of over-quietness than over-loudness, you will grant. Scarf pins, I'm glad to say, are becoming more manly. The present vogue runs to coach-horns, lead-bars, golf clubs, and others of a like character." " With a frock coat the only possi- bility is a silk hat, I needn't tell you ; and at a church wedding don't lay it on the seat, but hold it in your hand — just as you should when calling. I wonder why ? I don't know, unless men consider them safer in their hands than outside in the hall — where, however, they are obliged to leave their umbrellas, which have that old way, all their own, of disappear- ing." " But while you mustn't carry in your umbrella, you must your cane. For don't you know : " ' Strange all this difference should be 'Twixt Tw edledum and Tweedledee.' " Personal « We've about reached gloves. Tan kid or brown and grey suede are the thing. Some ultra-faddists copy the French in wearing white kid gloves." " Because I've seen men shivering, I might say, when it's cold enough for an overcoat, wear it with a frock coat ; and the overcoat must cover the frock coat. It's absolute folly and absurd affectation to walk round without one, courting pneumonia and the dan- ger of making giggling girls giggle." " In mid-summer, common sense al- ways wins over fashion, and allows the comfortable sack coat to be worn on occasions, when, otherwise, the frock coat would be obligatory. This is true even at the smart resorts." " Now keeping this in mind, don't forget that the frock coat is more or less a luxury; and, while for the man of leisure there are three fixed rules of dress — morning, afternoon and even- Personal ing ; for the ordinary man, in every- day life, these rules may be resolved into two — those of morning and evening." " Supposing we state them this way : wear a single or double-breasted sack suit in the morning, made from any of the various cloths and colors best suited to you. When trousers and coat are of the same material, the waistcoat may be fancy, brilliant in color — single or double-breasted. The plain waistcoat may be better taste ; yet, if ' good form ' should take away this chance for change, it would take away man's dearest prerogative — as man has a few other prerogatives, I say dearest. (You remember the let- ter commencing, ' My dearest Maria ' ; and her reply, ' I beg that you will mend either your morals or your grammar, my dear John. You call me your " dearest Maria " ; am I to Personal understand that there are other Ma- rias ?')" " But to turn to more serious mat- ters : when wearing a very fancy waistcoat, see that a plain white shirt accompanies it. If you don't wear a colored waistcoat you may wear a colored shirt, but always a white standing or turn-down collar. We are still talking lounge suits, you know." " When your coat and waistcoat are of the same material, and are dark, trousers of different material, but same tone, may be worn." " Your tie may be the four-in-hand, Ascot, or simple bow, and may be highly colored in case the rest of your clothing is sombre ; but, with a colored shirt, or highly-colored waistcoat, it should be quiet." " Now as to shoes. Let them be high or low, of russet leather or of calfskin, polished by hand or var- 26 Personal nished. You should, by the way, have several pairs, not only for the change, but for economy's sake. In muddy weather, patent leather shoes may prove preferable, as a mere rub will clean them. You, too, may like them best for traveling, because they don't need polishing. Will you let me suggest, when traveling don't look spic* and-span, especially if with a lady ; men have found it embarrassing." " If spats (gaiters, you know) are worn, they should be of cloth, leather or canvas ; white or tan. They may be worn with morning or afternoon dress." " As to hats. In winter wear Derby or Alpine, in summer the straw. Your whole summer attire is allowably bright. If you wish, blossom forth like the butterfly from its chrysalis, and you won't be very bad form." " You must remember that the cut- away is proper wherever the sack coat Personal is ; but if there is a doubt whether to put on a sack coat or a cutaway, choose the sack ; for in it you can't be wrong, and in the other you might. This applies to town. In the country, at the seaside or at any of the various sports, sack morning dress is more appropriate." " Dress in the country varies con- siderably in many details from that of town. The difference may be thus stated : consult your comfort rather than accuracy. Wear cheviot, or serge, white duck, or flannels." " Incidentally, in business hours, on business thoroughfares, don't carry your cane or umbrella — unless as a support ; and the old style of holding them near the ferrule should be rele- gated to actors, who, while trying to ' hold the mirror of life,' generally hold it upside down." " A well-rolled umbrella is a de- light. The etiquette of an umbrella 28 Personal says that when your umbrella is wet and dripping, don't let it drip on any one but yourself ; don't let it protrude in a street car so it will trip up unwary passengers ; don't carry it as though you were trying to make a bull's eye of your neighbor's optics." " This applies to canes as well. You should not carry umbrella or cane to the theatre or a dance, unless you have to." " Pardon me, you're not getting tired, are you ? But this question of evening dress deserves attention now." " It divides itself into two kinds, formal and informal." " The formal consists of the swallow- tail coat, waistcoat, and trousers of the same material. The latter are plain, or with braid down the side. How the coat lapels shall be faced, whether the collar shall be velvet or not, are matters of individual taste." Personal " White waistcoats, double or single- breasted, are very smart, but are somewhat in the nature of luxuries, as they are so difficult to have laun- dered." " Can you wear a white silk waist- coat ? Never ; and only duck or pique when your figure is trim and the waist- coat fits it neatly. Take warning by the short and fat Turveydrop, who always wore white waistcoats and was carried to his grave in an imitation oak coffin, with silver-plated handles." " Your shirt, in dress, should be plain white, of course ; with one, two or three stud-holes, according to whether you're long or short, though two are the only real good form. The cuffs are link, the collar of the standing order ; the tie white lawn or linen, with butterfly ends and small center, either starched or unstarched ; but a trimmer appearance is given if starched. Yes, Personal a black tie may be worn with a black waistcoat." " Your pocket is intended for your handkerchief — it is not to be tucked inside of your waistcoat, like a corsage bouquet, but you can put it inside your cuffs." " Your gloves must be white — all white ; and wear gloves even so far as the dinner table ; when dancing always. Socks are black : silk, if you can afford it. Shoes : patent leather — high but- ton, low lace, or pumps." " Diamonds in any form are, to say the least, questionable. No visible jewelry should be allowed except the shirt buttons, which may be either plain pearl, enamel or gold, and the cuff links of the same character." " The dress overcoats are the Inver- ness and opera cape, to be worn with an opera hat, though these are not in- dispensable, but convenient ; for an Personal ordinary black overcoat and a silk hat are equally correct." " Now informal dress differs from formal in wearing a dinner coat — usu- ally called the ' Tuxedo ' — with a black tie instead of a white lawn one. A formal white waistcoat should never accompany the informal Tuxedo." " This coat is not correct at any formal function when ladies are pres- ent, nor at the opera. But it is cor- rect where men alone congregate, or at the play, or with ladies of the family ; on every occasion which is not distinctly formal. In summer, from June to October, you can appear in it on the street without an overcoat ; as for that, men appear in flannels at the theatre in summer, and properly so." " Can you wear a silk hat with a dinner coat ? Do you remember the old lady, who, as the train stopped, asked the conductor whether she Personal could change trains there, and he said she could if she wanted to, but she better not. Yet, curious to say, you can wear an opera hat. You can wear the Alpine hat if you want to." " The Derby ? No, though I know a chap who wears it while he's dress- ing to give his hair that plastered effect now recognized as good form. Straw hats are worn with any evening dress in summer; in fact, are prefer- able." " If you're in mourning and wish to wear evening dress, see that your tie and the facing of your coat are dull silk." " Don't wear evening dress in the morning, I was going to say — but, when you're in Turkey, you must do as the Turkeys do, and all large functions on the Continent, no matter what time of day they occur, require our so-called evening dress, whether it be a dance, a wedding or a funeral." Personal " I've been talking — good gracious, quite an hour. What, you don't want me to go till I finish ? Sports. I almost forgot them." " Well, Kipling wrote : " ' Why golf is art, and art is golf, We have not far to seek — So much depends upon the lie, So much upon the cleek.' ' " But a man's playing doesn't de- pend upon how he rigs himself out. Don't forget that men have worn ordinary lounge suits and won cham- pionships. Wear 'knickers' — fancy as you please, a white or colored shirt, soft, unstarched bosom, golf stock, or turn-down collar, with small four- in-hand or bow tie, long ribbed stock- ings matching the ' knickers ' in color — the kind that turn over at the top, making thin calves look thick, heavy shoes of russet or black leather, with hob nails or rubber balls, cap or Alpine hat." Personal " In summer, wear knickers of brown linen or holland, or long, fancy, flannel trousers ; but have them big, so as to allow for the corkscrew attitudes of golfing. When it's ' so hot that you have to feed chickens chopped ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs ' don't wear red waistcoats, red cardi- gan jackets, or red coats, all of which are good form in cold weather." " You can wear the same things wheeling, with the exception, of course, of red coats and red jackets, and of course your shoes are bicycle shoes, not golf shoes." " Puck says : ' The first thing to learn in wheeling is what to wear ; but the only application necessary to learn, is arnica." " Wear the same duds skating, even in a rink on artificial ice ; when bowl- ing at a club or public place. But at a private house in the evening, the Persona] best form is your Tuxedo, and the same applies to billiards. No matter who is present, it is correct ; for sport carries a sense of informality." " When yachting, wear blue flannel or serge coat, with naval white duck trousers, cap blue or white, cloth or duck. Plain flannel is also worn, but it is not so appropriate." " Now as to coaching, you know Kipling says : " ' The pious horse to church may trot ; A maid may work a man's salvation ; Four horses and a girl are not, However, aids to reformation.' " " I would use any means to reform the frightful dressing of some who yet can afford to drive coaches." " In town your dress for driving should be that of the afternoon, and therefore a silk hat is indispensable. When needed, a huge driving coat with large buttons and dogskin driv- Personal ing gloves are the best. But in the country, where rules are not followed, you may wear a rough Scotch suit and Derby." " When riding in town, wear a cut- away, trousers strapped under ordinary walking shoes, silk hat and dogskin gloves ; though sack coat, Derby hat, breeches and boots or leggings are just as much used in the morning. Go in for bright colors in your scarf. Spurs are always neat with any riding costume." " If you shoot, wear a loose sack coat, corduroy trousers or knickers, stout ribbed stockings or boxcloth leggings, heavy russet shoes, and cloth shooting cap." " For seashore bathing, there has been and will be little change. The rig is two garments, shirt and trousers of knit goods, any color, plain, or with stripes at the bottom of both shirt Personal and trousers — but blue is the least compromising color. And by all means, 'if you're not sure of your physique, stick to your tub.' " " For tennis : wear white duck or flannel trousers ; white Madras shirt ; straw hat or cap." " Should you wear white duck trous- ers turned up ? Yes, till they shrink up ; you should always buy them too long, so as to allow for that." " You must be a cynic to call divorce a sport — never heard there was any special dress for that." " It will often puzzle you on a jour- ney from Saturday until Monday to know just how much baggage you ought to carry, or what to take. At most, not more than a good-sized bag or valise, with perhaps a hat-box, if you're going to a fashionable place where a frock coat is necessary, which means a silk hat, and a silk hat has 38 Personal but one place and that's the hat box." " If you're asked simply to play golf or kindred games, it might be more convenient to travel in your sporting togs, and when traveling, wear colored shirts with colored cuffs; they stay fresh a longer time. Wear an old suit whether traveling on land or water — a warm knickerbocker suit, if you like ; shoes with rubber soles on shipboard ; a mackintosh or an old ulster com- pletes the list." " No, only very queer people dress much on shipboard, though for late dinner a black cutaway coat is good. A man should change before dinner in all places and under all circum- stances." " Have I omitted anything ? You don't think so." " Well then, as a last bit of advice, remember that attention to clothes Personal makes them last twice as long and look twice as well. Fold them ; and never use a patent arrangement to keep the bag out of trousers, nor any wooden contrivance to stretch them ; it would ruin even those pants made by the ' Pants are Art ' Company." " Have few clothes if you will, but have them good ; cheaper in the end, you know. But for all that, it's not necessary to go to a high-priced tailor. Of course if you've always been a tailor's man, and are satisfied to give him the time he demands, the price he asks — stick to him. But the best sort of ready-made clothes is an easier, more economical way to dress. Yet don't patronize cheap places whatever you do." " Don't wear collars because they look pretty ; the kind that are asked for as ' gentlemen's collars for ladies' use.' " Personal " Keep your gloves neat, your shoes clean, your hat well brushed ; and that always with a soft brush. Careless- ness in dress amounts to bad manners, as Lord Chesterfield remarked." " Fashion is very elastic, a man must be guided a good deal by per- sonal taste, which means you can become a badly-dressed fright very easily." " Quite satisfied, are you ? Well, then, I must be going. No, not a sou ; and what's more, if you want further details, I refer you to the men-who- know-what-you-want, at " Prince Street and Broadway, " 32nd Street and Broadway, " Warren Street and Broadway." " Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you, but on the stairs I remembered I'd forgot- ten the most important thing of all — < Rogers, Peet & Co.'s Price List.'
