In neckwear the puff scarf is to take
the place OF all the various shapes OF
hat breast plates" This is an adap-
tation OF the French style, and the
manufacturers r vying with one an
other inthe endeavor 70 produce the
handsomest effect. The small figures
and polka dots that have been 50 pop
ular in the past will be superseded by
haring colors and rich v~elvets. Al
the grounds are brilliantly lighted and
covered 10 the brightesttints, cardinal,
gold, bright blue, ~gendarme, etc. The
Del oinvllle scarf also will find many
admirers. The designs are mostly
bold, In two color spots and rings and
all over tissued satins. In handker-
chiefs, new designs are shown in linen
with very striking figures and c%olors,
mostly of a plain color surrounded
with a brilliant border, Of Roman
cOlors and large spots. The silk
handkerchief is scarcely shown savei in
the variety known as English silk, and
plain white is to be more popular
among the ultra fashionable than it
has been for eight years. In half hose,
Roman colors will be all the rage;
terra Gotta shade is to be, however, a
strong favorite. In pure silks, for
full dress wear, black will be generally
worn, but other solid c%olors, navy
blue, garnet, etc, will fud purchasers.
In eolors, there will be no material
change, the standing close fitting col
lar finding the greatest number Of
admirers. There are no changes to
report in skirts for evening dress, and,
although some very dressy young men
will wear an embroidered front, the
plain bosom with small studs is the
proper thing, The open front is worn
more than it has been for years, and
as it is something OF a novelty Of late
years, it bids fair to be all the 20. In
underwear, heavy English Balbriggan
suits are shown in all the aesthetic
tints, terra alba, sage and terra Gotta,
with silk stripes, though solid colors
Of the same tint will also be worn.
These suits are very handsome, and
will sell at from 81 TO $l5 a suit. Pure
silk underwear is unchanged in every
thing; it is a trihe too expensive for
manufacturers to attempt to force
any decided colors into it, and in
the we'll known color it cannot be i'm
itated and shows for itself. Suits Tor
winter will cost from SIS to $25, de.

sired. ~Suspenders will be non-elastic
silk in rich sporting designs, and the
polka dot Will be popular, variously
mounted with silver, and gilt chains
and white calf skin. The favorite
colors for gloves will be mahogany
and red tan; the material will be fine
chevrette. IL is impossible to
thoroughly stamp out the standard
black, though self embroidered will be
worn. In jeWelry the unique French
patterns will find a ready sale for
scarf pins, as there is an increasing

everybody else; and as the fashions in
