DoV t wear.xrdothee thit attract attention, either, frn their being too iuch out of f'aahion or too much in it. Notice the prevailing style o(hats, clothes and shoes and see that yours accord with it. A gentleman is well dressed when there is nothing noticeable about his attire. Don't wear business clothes to an afternoon reception or a dinner in the eyening. Always put on a black coat for afternoon and wear a d ress suit for d inn er and at eve n ing. D1on't wear a white tie with any thing but a dress suit, and don't 'Svear at any time a gaudy Cravat. One of dark or low-toned colors i3 generally preferable. Rich white Lord Stanley cravats can be vorn1i with a dark Prince Albert or cut. j way coat in spring or summer. Ao't wea 0 kry I W .w o .AL niond in your shirt front at any time, or diamuond studs in any wav notice 1ble for size. Small I al s eve studs are somletine; worn With a dress suit, but small plain gold ones are preferred. Don't wear. muchel jewvelry ait anI Y time Don't smoke in the presence of ladies. Always remove your eigas when bowing to a 1lady, and it is even more polite to throw it away when so doing. It is even questionable, taste for a g entleman to smoke in the streets at any time. Don't bow to a lady until she has bowed to you. Th is rile of course, admits of, modification in certain cases of re lationship or acquaintance when the lad~y evidently dloes inot, from some cause, rcognize the gettle man. D)on't shake hands with a lady nor afterwards, unless she first e IVinIces a desire to (do so. D)on't call on a lady unless yout have obtained permission to do so. D~on't make youri calls or visits too long. Madam Recamier' once said that ''0nei hour was all she granted to the agreeable of men, andl that she could stand nobody :louger' than that. D~on't fail to snde ini VOnne cardi on your first call, and in fact it is L better to do so always to avoid mis t1akes,' etcn. r Don't 'forget to always raiSe your hat vhen you bow to a lady S( or an elderly gentleman.
