"Plaids are all the rage now in gen.
temen's neckwear," said 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

| Dude bows are used exclusively for
evening wear, and all come in tnts,
white being now excluded in neckties
as well as IN gloves. This is the style"

| The extreme style can not be becoming

whose head appears to receive its sup

even a suspicion of his neck from the

ment. No, there is little change in

''What is the regulation glove'.
Tan color, whether for evening or
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 a golden tan
hue. No one wears white gloves now
but walters"
'.Are silk handkerchiefs in vogue!"
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
twenty-fourinch square simply hemmed.
They are used on all occasions.
Here's a mighty nice thing for a
present. continued the gentleman,
taking down a box containing pair of
satin suspenders, embroidered with
moss rosebuds and leaves. and having
gold-plated buckles. Now, these sus-

pie of pairs of pure white, embossed,
with silver buckles. These are only 81

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,

fit l can tell you. He had several suits
of spun-silk underwear. none of which
cost less than S25. They were all in
the natural color. His hose were de-
lightful things of beauty and joy, and
holes being made in them by horny toe
nails and corns. HIS handkerchiefs
were twenty-six inches square,
with a monogram in the corner of
each. and worth $3.50 apiece. With
the exception of his wedding suspen-
