A person who delivers oracular opinions aa to the proper tops wherewithal a man shall be clothed describes In the Haber dasher the correct costume for Sunday wear this spring. Ths main garment." says the Sir Oracle, "will be the black cutaway. The frock coat Is not at all In fashion, yet It would be the best substitute for the cut sway. A dark gray cutaway would not bs incorrect, but black is preferabls, and the edges should be braided. "The coat Is snug at the waist, mod erately broad at the shoulders, clones with two buttons and has a shirt sharply out away from the lower button and reach ing to the bend of ths knee. The lapels are soft rolled, broad and Join the collar with a triangular notch. The trousers may either match the coat fabrlo or be of gray striped cloth. The former is Just now a bit the smarter. "If atmospheric conditions require a top coat It. too. should be black or at least very dark. It may be either very full, hanging in ample folds from the shoulder, or the direct contrary decidedly shaped. Particular men hava a black topcoat with silk faced lapels for Sunday and evening wear. A topcoat showing any noticeable color or pattern Is not tn good taste for either formal day or formal evening wear. "The hat must be the silk hat. Under no conditions Is ths derby or ths soft hat permissible with the formal cutaway. This season's accepted block has moderate bell and a brim rather broad with a D'Orsay curl. The ultra silk hat Is on ths French order, with straight crown and flat brim. With both styles the bsnd is of cloth, not silk. "When we come to consider collar, cra vat and shirt we find two standards, both of which have current approval. Soma men regard the black cutaway when em ployed for church and promenade as a semi-formal garment. They, therefore, wear with it Informal accessories, a shirt with a pattern and even some color in it a fold collar and a four-ln-hand cravat. This Is questionable form. "Others conceive of the cutaway as a ceremonious garment requiring ceremon ious accessories, whatever use one may put it to. This is the more sensible view. These men wear a poke collar or a wins collar with small taba, a pearl Ascot and a whlta shirt of plain linen or pique. The majority of well dressed men will compromise thess views and wear a wing collar, one with small, square cornered tabs, which are newer than ths rounded tabs; a pearl four-ln-hand or once-over, the four-ln-hand not being tightly knotted because a snug knot does not go well with wtng collar, and a white shirt, plain or pleated, or a shirt of white ground with widely spaced halrlmes of black. "Young chaps who like to kick over the traces occasionally will mark a depart use from this severely simple scheme of black, whlta and gray by Introducing color in cravat and gloves. The color will ba delicate, of course any one of the pastel tints. "This season's waistcoat to accompany the cutaway Is of ths same material as ths coat, relieved at the neck opening by whits edging. It is cut sufficiently high to b visible an inch or two above the coat when the two hottons of the coat are fastened, and it has moderate bottom points, not the very deep points of soms past seasons. I would not class ths whit or ths gray waistcoat as Incorrect In conjunction with ths cutaway. But they have not fashion's Indorsement for this season. "What ons wears in half hose doesn't matter much with high shoes boots, II you prefer because the trousers that go with the cutaway are not short and turned up at ths bottom after ths manner of lounge trousers, so that half, hose are not visible. Yet whether with shoes or ox fords the mode approves only black halt hose, either plain or with self clockings. Ths shoes must bs of patent leather and buttoned. Getters have lost easts. "Gloves are preferably pearl sueds or pearl glace, buttoned, not clasped. In Jewelry the cravat pin and the links are of pearl or moonstone, and a fine watch chain of gold, gold and platinum or platinum and pearl, Combining bars with the links. may ba stretched across ths waistcoat Ths walking stick Is a matter of personal liking, except that ths whangea and other Dlghts sticks ars restricted to summer wear. FAMOUS WRECK WALLED IN tialok Work la Completing: First Stasve ol Raising; Battleship at Havana. Ia the driving of the last few interlock ing steel piles of the last of the twenty caissons forming the Inclosing wall of ths great basin or cofferdam surrounding the wreck of the Mslne the first stage, in the work of exposing and ultimately removing the shattered remains of the battleship sunk in the harbor of Havana on the night of February 15, 1898, has Just been brought to a successful conclusion. Ths second stage) of the work that of flllins the caissons as fast as they were completed with mud, clay and rock dredged from the harbor bottom has bean going on far soms time as fast as circumstances would permit, and now that the ring of caissons is completed is being pushed for ward with the utmost rapidity. The steam dredge Norman Davis, lent to the govern ment by the Huston-Trurabo Dredging company, 'and the army dredge Barnard are dumping hundreds of tons of material Into ths caissons, the work going on, as It has from the beginning, night and day. It is expected that the filling of the caissons will be completed by the end of April, and utter that the second and most Interesting stage of ' the work that of pumping out the great basin and leuvlng exposed the hull of the battleship in pre cisely the condition It was on the mornltitf after its destruction, thirteen years ago will be taken up. First, however, a heavy timber platform will be erected on top of the caissons encircling the basin, to serve as a stage of operations and foundation for cranes and other apparatus for use when the work of dismantling the wreck is begun. It will lo be used as a tem porary resting place for the dead of the Maine as fast as ths bodies are recovered. As soon as ths wreck is fully exposed the work of exploration in search of hu man remains will take precedence of every other consideration. It Is practically cer tain that when this stays of the work is reached a United States man-of-war will be ordered to Havana and will lie cloas to the wreck to receive the bodies as fast as they are recovered and transport them to their flnsl resting place. After that wll come an exhaustive scru tiny of the shattered wreck by experts, who. In the opinion of engineer officers, will be able to determine beyond all fu ture question precisely the character of the agency whereby the destruction pf the Maine was effected. Probably many months will elapse be fore the final etas of the work the ex traction and disposition of the wreck will be begun New York Tribune.
