winged and turn over. Of tho first
there are only two styles deserving at
tention, that which stands perfectly
straight, meeting, hut not overlapping
all the way up the front; and that
wbioh overlaps sligbtlv
and has slightly poked points. Both
of thr
tho band
are correct, though the latter
may be a trifle tlte smarter with even
ing dieas. The height depends some
what upon the build of the wearer, a
oollar two and a half inuhes tall not
being possible, or at least ounifnrtable,
for some men. Generally speaking,
however, that is the best height. The
poke pointed style is tbe
most correot with full evening dress,
a frock ocat or black morning coat.
Some men still insist upon wearing
high banded turn over collars
every kind of attire, but their use
is, tainly is not good with garments
tho formal as tbe lung-tailed evening ooat
in ' and the frroks. With tho dinner
of jaoket, oo the contrary, the high
banded turn-over has como to be con
the sidered moat proper. But, although
the turnover is not correot with lormal
attire, the straight standing collar
may be worn with snek clothes. No
other styles of the high oollar except
but those mentioned nre worth owning;
that with rounded points ha^t never
been good style, and those which over
lap all tbe way up or do not meet at
all in front are not pretty,
tba "This is delicious iisoarole, is it
notY" I interrupted here, being a bit
of tired of listening to the intricooies of
men's attire, though I doubt if any
other woman more quiokly notices tbe
little things tbat go to make up the
do well-drossed man.
a The Cymo took tbe hint. He is very
