TTtr srvriiv ni? ftiovt AV. PORTLAND. DECEMBER 24. 1911 & ' " ' " " J 1 -Stirlnr." br Snnlo: Thr Beaming Err.- f ' " u r VYAS the niitht before Christ mas, and all through the house, not a creature wu atlrrlna. not tnn a mouif. Yes. and It has been quiet in tha "social whirl" tor the lat wttk. too. Kocletv women have been o fnrji with Chrlst raaa shopping that they have even neglected the usual all-absorbing ante of brlrine. hull I do not despair, for I he at hand an aoeount of a recent "Men a Clothlnu and Outfitting' exhibition. hlih. tf adopted, certainly will bring about many sewlne clubs for the deotee of style amons; the bachelors and benediotn f the pa world. Vests and tle of brilliant hue veiled with lace are the last word of fashion, worn, of course, with hosiery to match. It la possible that at smart function of the future I rtl describe the at tira of prominent men. something a follows: "Mr. Blank was particularly attractive In his evening suit of rich, black broadcloth, with a hairline stripe of mauve, cut en sm-allowtatl and worn with a waistcoat of scarl.-t satin veiled with chanltlly lace. This cos tume was completed by a tie, of satin and lace In corresponding tones, ami how of scarlet silk with Insets of real lace." The account at band declares that the new fashions are not out of keeping- with the strict conventional ity of men s attire, and that cut on tho usual severe lines, these seemintly frivolous accessories are o,ulle appro priate for evemns; functions. A vest of emerald ren. veiled with white lace, m ould be "Just sweet" on a portly club man for Instance, but we must be tolerant of the follies of men for they have il'rn women full sway In the matter of dresa and have never Uughed at them no never! It is also possible that the courtiers of the days of Louis Qulnie with their coats of brocade, lace rufflee. powder and snutf boxes were quite as interesting and not one bit more ridiculous than the modern youth, who apes the fltllsh nan. in his attire and accent.
