"Plaids are all the rage now in gem
demen's neckwear," said q dealer in
mems furnishings. THE tendency Of
the day, too. is toward an increase OF
color. Everything nearly, except for
full-dress evening toilets, is bright
hued. The plaids are broken. similar
to those seen in ladies' dress fabrics
this spring. and in pin-head checks.
The styles are the four in hand which
has been popular for some time, the
Gordon knot, which is similar de.
sign. partial FLATS, and small fats.
Dude bows are used exclus vely for
evening wear. and all come in t,nts,
white being now excluded in neckties
as well as in gloves. This is the style, "

small, flat bows of pale heliotrope,
pn nix and blue. with tiny polka spots Of
deeper color.
Are turn-down collars still consid
cred stylish?''
Certainly. although there is dis.
pos ton, transient, of course. and
bound to disappear with warm wealth
er. to affect very high standing ones.
The extreme style can not be becoming
to any neck, no matter now long OF
scraggvit may be. No man looks well
whose head appears to receive its sup
port from an expanse of stiff. board
like linen. that completely ccnceals
even a suspicion of his neck from the
gaze of the world. 1t may be illustra-
tive of superb triumph of modesty
and a rebuke to the fem nine decollete
bodice, but it is far from enchanting.
The highest collar we sell IS two and
half inches wide; the na-rowest three
fourths of an inch"
do half-hose still come IN fancy de-
signs?'
.Oh. no. that's all out. They are
: all in plain colors this season and near
" all in green or brown wood-tints.
Isle thread is the standard, ofcourse.
How about the full-dress sh rt?''

ment. No. there is little change in
underwear. except that the colors are
quieter and in silk goods the natural
tint is more worn than the dvei."
''What is the regulation glover"
Tan color, whether for evening OF
street wear. Those for the street are
stitched up the back and of a deep red
tan, while those for evening wear have
plain backs and are of golden tan
hue. No one wears white gloves now
but walters"
Are silk handkerchiefs in voguer
Not to any extent except pure white,
with monogram in one corner. or the
pin-head check in black and white.
The linen handkerchiefs w tn colored
borders now show only mere line of
color. The hem-stitched white is no
longer carried. The most fashionable
handkerchief for gentlemen now is a
twenty-four inch square simply hemmed.
They are used on all occasions
Here's mighty nice thing for q
present" continued the gentleman,
taking down box containing pair Of
satin suspenders, embroidered with
moss rosebuds and leaves, and having
gold plated buckles. Now, these sus-
penders are lined -throughou with KID.
Notice how beautifully they are bound.
They are just the thing tor a birthday

with silver buckles. These are only 81
pair. Fine suspenders run from S3
per pair to S15 or 800, or where Jewels
are set in solid gold buckles, they may
be got up to be worth more than the
price Of a fine farm.
Speaking of Weddings" he added.
II furnished the outfit not long since
for gentleman who married a Oh cago
girl the other day. 1t was da sy out
fit can tell yeu. He had several suits
of spun-silk underwear. none of which
cost less than $25. They were all in
the natural color. His hose were de-
lightful things of beauty and JOY, and
it did seem almost too bad to think of
holes being made in them by horny toe
nails and corns. HIS handkerch:efs
were twenty-s.x inohes square,
with q monogram in the corner of
each. and worth $3.50 apiece. With
the exception of his wedding suspen-
