THE DAILY BULLETIN.
Mems Fashion The LEADING Styles and
Oolors for the Coming Season.

U0lors Tor the Uomng season.
New York sun.
The tables OF tailors are laden with
the newest goods, and the mandate
has gone forth that there is to DO an APP
proach TO more plainness OF style.
Nothing that may be called loud is to
be tolerated. As to materials in i'm
ported goods, English and Scotch suit
ings are to be plentiful. The latest.
samples show great varieties OF Mel
tons, wooden, Scotch cheviots, basket
goods and diagonals. MELONS are in
all colors, and there are many styles of
mixed goods from which to choose.
The colors are to be generally more
somber. and certainly not sopronounced
as heretofore. Among the mixed goods
are some red and black, and with tho
novelties may be seen what is called
olive green. The green is q delicate
shade and barely distinguishable, and
not enough to offend the most stanch
Tory. In regard to shapes, there is
wide margin to suit the most varied
tastes. Tailors agree that there is at
present a good deal of individual SOW
ereignty In dress. A man with thin
legs will not usually hold himself up to
ridicule by wearing the old-fashioned
tight pantaloons they used 10 call gun
covers" Fashions are becoming moro
and more elastic, and the time has gone
by when any fashion plate will be made
an iron rule for men. Single-breasted
cut-aways are TO be worn. with an oc-
casional three or four button cut-away
where the wearer rebels against one
button only. In Spring overcoats tho
prevailing style is loose, buttoned up
high with tendency to roll over tho
collars so as to show the silk lining and
give stylish appearance. Prince AL
bert coats arc to be leading feature,
buttoned up high in the neck. The
vest will be high, without collar. Some
Of the young fellows show disposition
to rebel against the Prince Albert coat
as better fitted for more elderly per-
sons. Coats for business suits are to be
made with small rolling collars to
great extent. Trousers are to be worn
rather close-ftting to the forms of the
legs, the bottoms small and shapely.
Young men who aspire to lead the
fashion favor tight trousers. The tight
ness. -lowever, will not be carried to an
extreme. Tailors say that custom is
rapidly spreading among fashionable
men to leave orders for clothing with
merely general instructions to "make
it up according to the latest style"
This leaves ii to the cutters option or
his customer to modify the style to suit
particular cases. For exact or extreme
fashions there is tendency to short
coats as we'll as tight trousers, so that
the young men who follow the latest
styles will present very natty appear
ance. All coats are to be made shorter.
There is little change in dress suits. ex-
cept a tendency to make the coats
shorter The fact is that so few men
can afford to wear out dress coat in u
short time that there is positive and
effectual rebellion against any sudden
or frequent changes in that respect
Besides the olive-green referred to there
are among the novel colors blue and
oil-mixed, brown and olive and other
combinations Of shades. Business suits
for Summer wear. are TO be made of
Scotch cheviots in skeleton form, rather
tighter fitting than last year As usual,
most OF the finer imported goods are
initiated skillfully in the cheaper quail
ties. 4 suit that costs $50 at fashion,
able tailor's may be bought for $l5 at
cheap store. There is great rush
for clothes made to order at low rates,
and many low-prices establishments
have sprung up all over the city.
