THE MANLY FORM.
How 1t Mast De Adorned II IL Appears In the
Latest Styles.


The preference is for lighter scarfs
for day use and for those of small size
tied in a close pulled knot instead of
being in br0ad-smooth folds, as they
have long been used. White or light
tinted brocaded satin in small figures.
ottoman silks, and gros grain are the
materials used, and there are many
cross stripes of a color with white made
OF satin. These scarfs are now worn
with any day suit, even with morning
and street suits, though the dark, richly
eolored satins are by no means aband-
oned. The novelty for full dress is the
repped pique tie to match the pique
shirt bosom, but the white cambria tie
narrowly folded with square ends re-
mains the fayorite for dress; there are
also tape ties of lawn stifiiy starched
and tied in a set bow for those who can
not tie bow properly; black satin ties
are little used except by elderly men.
Two small pearl-headed pins fasten the
loops of light ties, or else single larger
pin that is also quite small is thrust
through the knot. Round heads of sill
Yer, small trefoil. tiny spider, a cats
eye, a leaf of emerald, or a sapphire
bar are some of the designs for these
small pins. A SHAREHOLDER like small
clamp is used TO catch the lower end of
the scarf and hold it in place.
Black silk socks are worn on dress
occasions, and with low Oxford ties or
house slippers; those entirely plain are
liked best, or else with very slight en-
broidery or clocks at the side. Lisle
thread socks are worn in very dark or
quiet colors of blue, brown or cardinal,
either quite plain or with narrow
stripes. New handkerchiefs have very
narrow hens, only third of an inch
wide, and those for day use have spots
or small colored figures on this hem.
English long coats for driving and
travelling are straight sack shape, and
are made of striped gray mohair, or
plain ecru, or dust-colored mohair.
Cheviot dressing-gowns imported from
London are double brested, and long
enough to reach the ankles. They are
in notified colors, or underlined plaids
in which green, red, yellow and blue
are mixed; instead of q cord around
the waist, they have flatly-folded
sash only two inches wide made of the
cloth doubled, and neatly finished on
the ends with a fringe of cord in which
all the colors of the fabric are re-
peated.
Street shoes for Spring are calf-skin
buttoned CATERS with low square heels,
and toes moderately rounded, or shap-
ed according to the taste of the wearer,
though the best shoemakers protest
against narrow shoes with pointed toes.
For the Summer low Oxford ties laced
across the instep will be made of calf
skin; the soles of these are not so
heavy or so wide as those formerly
worn. Dress shoes are buttoned gait
ers made of patent leather. The tend
ency is again towards wearing gloves
at weddings and receptions, though at
some of the fashionable Spring we'd
dings they have been omitted by the
groom and ushers, as well as by the
guests; when used they are of pearl
tints with black stitching For the
street, at church, for driving or visit
ing the red tan shades are chosen, fast
ened by two buttons, and with or with
out stitching, though the preference is
for the three broad lines of stitching in
self-color of darker shade seen on Eng
