Styles for Men.
For overcoatings the coming winter
kerseys will be popular. made up with
laps and raw edges. For colors, old
claret or port wine shades. which have
not been worn Of late, will be very
stylish. Fur. beaver, chinchilla, ely
slams, and soft-tinish goods will 5e
worn. some of these goods having been
popular for long time and promising
to continue. These will be worn in all !
colors-black, blue. brown, old claret,
and in mixtures. OF these goods near
ly $50 styles and colors are in the SAM
ple-books. English blue pilots an3
Irish friezes hold their own, while mel
tons will be worn to some extent, but /
not SO much as formerly. As has been
stated, kerseys will be very popular;
also fancy beavers, especially in olive
or brown shades. claret or port wine
colors. Next come the plain worsted
patterns for morning coats, calling
coats, generally for common wear.
The ''corkscrew' pattern has been worn
. season or two, and it will have great
run the coming season. in the country
trade especially. Heavy orders are in
already, and the bulk of the country
trade is in this pattern. The very finest
thing in worsteds will be a small, al
most indistinct pattern, not diagonal,
but much resembling it in black, blue,
brown, olive, wine colors and mixtures.
In the sample books there are one hum
dred qualities. patterns. and colors in
but mostly of the corkscrew
pattern.
For trouserings, the best to be worn
are English worsteds, in small, neat
stripes. The style will demand quite
plain goods, and there is no tendency
for tho coming season toward the
''loud'' patterns. There are indications
Of q pronounced change in the style,
which will very likely be exemplified
next spring to some extent and blossom
out in full flower within q year. In
deed, English swells have been wearing
this year very fancy and loud patterns.

snowy plaids may be all the 60 for the

be witnessed this fall and wins.r For
goods that always sell ana will be worn
this winter may DO mention
ed cheviots, plain. mixed, diagonal, {
and small figured fancy goods. No
pronounced change will be seen, either
in style or pattern, of any Of the goods
worn by gentlemen. and there is moth
ing that has been worn that is positive {
" discarded.
