GENTLEMEN'S TOILETS

at Saratoga are about thus: In the morning, straw hats or Tyrolese
with feather, white or checked suits with fancy cravats.

The dinner dress or afternoon promenade dress of our swell
fellows is light-drab trousers, double-breasted English frock coat
(black), with necktie and gloves of light material and matching
in color. Vest white.

Evening Dress—Black dress coat, vest, and trowsers, white
necktie and gloves, and crush hat. The crush hat comes very
handy here, as the evening hops are more like an afternoon
reception in the city.
