MORNING DRESS.
MEN. Morning costume consists of a dark frock
coat, with vest and light trousers. This can
be worn at any entertainment occurring in
the daytime--as, weddings, luncheons, receptions
of all kinds, matinees, or ceremonious visits.
Anything worn is admissible in morning
dress, a business suit, cutaway, sack suit,
hats or caps, and undressed kid gloves of a
dark color.
At out-of-town resorts, golf, wheeling, and
yachting costumes suitable for outdoor sport
may be worn in the morning.
It is considered the correct thing for a man
to tie his own tie instead of buying them
ready made.
