NEW FASHION BY THE PRINCE.
BLACK EVENING WAISTCOAT. Will the Prince of Wales again set a new fashion? At the dinner given in his honour by the Argentine Club, he wore a black waistcoat with his tailed coat, the waistcoat made of the same material. No doubt this was due to the fact that the Prince is in mourning, but it is significant that during the past week, at the Berkeley, Claridge's and elsewhere I have met a number of men wearing a very narrow, doublebreasted evening waistcoat made of the same material as the tailed coat. And very distinguished it looked, particularly when the shirt carried the new front made from white batiste having horizontal markings—broad satin-like stripes anything from a quarter of an inch to an inch in width —the double cuffs being In plain white linen. Another evening wear note is the popularity of the clove red carnation.
