There are three dress divisions of the day:
Morning wear.
Afternoon dress.
Evening dress.
The first may be worn any time of the day before 6 P. M., though it belongs to the morning.
The second is not worn before 2 P. M.
The third is not worn before 6 P. M.
The attire for all athletic games, sports, amusements, for the clergy, and gentlemen in the army and navy, it is not within the province of this work to treat of. In fact, we treat of only that which is worn by a gentleman at home or abroad, in summer or winter, when mingling in society.
