elsaleas ls.gma and misasai in their
seats, watelgS the antices at their happhes
brethren with ill concealed disgust and
envy.
Of course nothing of the sort occurred.
Probably the happiest men on the floor
were the Republican leaders. Mr. Reed,
Mr. Burrows, Mr. Lodge and others min
gled their smiles with those of Speaker
Crisp, Mr. Holman, Mr. Bynum and other
leaders of the sulccssful party. The
stranger in the gallery, especially if he be
fron a foreign country, is mased at the
apparent friendliness and codiplity o the
relatices existing between the leadees d
the rival parties. He cannot ndeastaad
it. He has been led to believe that Amer
can politicians ame always fghting duels
or fisticuffs or pulling each other's hair.
And he finds them acting like brothes.
Possibly the minority members, the Re
publioss, have a little the best of the
congressloal situation. If I were going
to sit in congresa-which heaven forbdl-
I should want to sit on the minority side.
Thereis so much more fun in not being re
sponsible for what happens, and instead
being able to ind fault and kick and poke
fun at the fellow who is responsible and
fill his political hide full of holes.
As I watched the meeting of the house
yesterday I thought I saw a suspicionus
number of smiles of a somewhat sinister
nature lurking about the mouths of the
Hon. Thomas B. Reed and the Hon. Julius
Camer Burrows. Possibly they were think
ing of the fun they are going to have when
the Democrats in the coming congress get
seriously at the work of making a tariff
bill. There is no rose without a thorn, and
the thorn in the Democratic thumb at the
present writing is the danger that when
they make a tariff bill they will fail t<
please the people in some way or other and
be thrown out into the cold and cheerless
street, as their predecessors were.
The crowds in the galleries yesterday
were evidently not thinking of the tariff
question and the future of the political
parties. The people have had so much
politics of late and somuch tariff talk that
they must be quite willing to torn their
attention to something else. A large num
ber of the spectators were women, and the
interest of the women seemed to be cen
tered in the personal appearance of the
statesmen. They chattered about Mr.
Durborow's fresh color, Mr. Allen's whis
kers, Mr. Lodge's neatly trimmed beard,
Mr. Reed's increasing baldness, Mr. Crisp's
accumulating girth and other trivialities
and persoemalties.
The women also appeased to be greatly
amused at the show of vanity which was
spread out before their eyes. It Is not often
that they get an opportunity to see a few
hundred sumcesaul and presumably strong
and sensible men acting very much like a
parel of women who meet for the first
time after a summer's traveL And as te
the vanity d the lords of creation and
makers of laws, I think the case was very
well put by an elderly woman who sat next
the press gallery and after an hour or ac
remarked to her companion: "A woman is
vain prettily. When a man goes in for van
it be wallows aa it."

[Speedal Correeppadene.]
Nrw You[, Dec. L-The well dremed
American is called upon nowadays to ex
ercise a goodly quantum of common sense
in keeping reasonably abreast of the fash
loss of the times.
Leadership in men's fashions Is not a
trivial avocation! The denial of swell
dom, not only as a matter of maintaining
caste among his clubnates, but also be
cause of the responsitlity entailed in giv
iag currency to certain deviations whieh
are evolved from time to tile-setting the
'fashion, as It were-has a somewhat ha
ardous task.
So discriminating have our fashion fram
ers become, however, that we no longer
accept with blind
Idolatry the inn
vationsof our Eng
lish cousins. At
all events there is
no longer a dispo
sition to rush in
and without con
aI sideration adopt
the London style
immediately it is
given forth.
Only recently
Indeed, as exem
plified at the
horse show, have
the men of what is
known to be the
smart set given
;. , sanction to the
long tailed coats.
They believed in
and they wore the
THE DIPLOMAT. garments occa
stonally during several seasons past, but
not with that signifcant sanction which
was manifest upo thisooeason, of all oth
ers, in the fashionable calendar, when new
phases in men's dress are exploited.
Concisely told, the marked changes are
all in the nature of shape sad conforma
tion, tending to nfluence toward the
more courteous department of the gal
lants of 1S0. This noticeable impression
is, however, deftly quelled by having the
finish and fabric in even a quieter tone
than has prevailed of late.
For Instance, the concededly apropos and
distinguished looking outer coat of this
coming season is the long, loose fitting
black, blue or dark green clth-a sort of
melton hkerey-the tfabric having the rich
quality ea the kersey and the sturdy finish
of the melton, the former "make" afford
ing the best unfinished uncut edge. In
style It is primarily an ample garment,
though not of the extreme box ilk. The
velvet collar isuntinted. It is madesiagle
breasted. ly front, and extends in hrnt, as
the Illustration discloses, well below the
knees This i in its entirety one of the
most ultra coats issued of late years, and
yet n its ensemble there is net one phase
which the most conventional would caviL
There are to be worn three shir studs
with ll dress-the pecuniary value not a
matter of consequence-the shirt button or
three small ewed on pearl battons being
deemed the snith of dress shirt wearig.
There will be amore frequent wearing of
evening gloves than heretofor+, parlar
ly at entertaiments where ladie n to
be met.
The eekscart is the dominant adjunct
of everyday apprl. They are made in
otems with Sowing ends and graduated
aprens, anlined, admitting of moeet artisto

mr. So, that It shall not eve
upon the latters' impregnable righte
crack American tailors that have rerro
duced the new coats have left but a shade
of the swallow tail effect without disturb
ing the harmony of the cutaway carve.
There can be no gainsaying that the
smartness of this new garment is the at
tribute meost likely to win for it an Impor
tant plaee in the category of men's wear.
The cuttlng away of the skirts in the side
view creates a most favorable impression,
while the eemtemplation of the garment in
its etiaby earries with it the conviction
that this cost n: demidress was never here
tofore seen to Se'' ::dnavantage.
The first weare:s in America of this new
cutaway are a group of Lodeners whc
were seen about the down atow exchanga
looking for good, exclusive, double cinch
investment opportunities for.the placint
of their good English money. They ar
men--as verifled in the other details of
their makeup-of undoubted discernment
in dress, and jho brokers are not slow to
get their clothiers at work on similar pro
ductions. There is, it is said, a rage over
this style prevaiIing in the English capital,
and certainly nnue better than a crack
London custom clothier could have turned
out so well built a garment.
The best tall h: t of t he season is the make
having the mo't noticeable bell crown and
the most pronounced wide brim. These
are the truly best looking hats to be worn
with the long coats anu the tighter trou
sers. The Engli--h trousers are described a1
small over the Instep and the measuremel:t
19 inches. But then the English tfot i
larger than th.i American. About 19 at
the knees and i7 vt. the bottoms is the
"propab capaw with the deah boys, bai
Jawve!"
The pleasing intelligence is in circulation
to the effect that that very eminently prac
tical and pre-eminently convenient opera
hat is about to experience a renaissance.
It will be regarded in the same dignified
category as that in wh;ch the high hat is
classed, and for certain occasions where
hats are to be carried and a crush is im
pending it will tend to keep the feelings
unruffled, and thus as a profanity deterrent
alone will fulfill its mission.
That good old standby, however-the
frock coat-the first of the long tailers
to n~ake its way-is still an oft donned
garment by the
younger swells.
As Redgie Cad
youmette, of the
Whippersnapper
club, remarked:
"It is one of
those distinguish
ed looking coats.

shirking things, desh boy. One must bold
one's self up to it all the time, or the wear
ing of this favored garment falls Sat."
The two extremes about the purlieus of
New York are the swell aad the tough.

wistreasers. "Wheredid hIgetthatcrazy
