The Goods Of This Character Thai ars
Fashionable at Present.
Shirt fronts are of three and some
tines four thicknesses of linen, made
as smooth and plain as possible, and
with eyelets for a single stud. Occa~
sionally the pleated bosoms SO popular
with Southerners are made up in forty
small tucks that lie almost as smooth
as those without pleats. Standing col
ars are wern rather lower, and have
hc corne turned over in points in
English style. There are also various
standing collars that meet, while others
lap, and some do not quite come to-
yether, Straight cuffs with linked
:leeve-buttons are worn.
Lighter scarfs are worn as the weather
.rows warmer. They are made very
small and either pulled or folded fatty,
or else tied in a sailor knot. The nov
slty for these is the use of figured India
silks in the cream, white and navy blue
grounds so popular for ladies' dresses.
Other thin silks, such as Louisine,
surah, and foulard, with white, pearl.
or cream grounds, are dotted, barred,
Of striped with a color, and made into
very pretty scarfs. The Teck scarf,
like a slender knot, is made up of dark
satins with hair-line stripes. The mar
row-folded Harvard ties are made of
dark or light figured silks. Pique
scarfs are shown for midsummer, and
there are many of the Windsor scarfs
which the wearer must arrange in a
small sailor knot. White lawn ties
narrowly folded are used with evening
dress suits.
Solid colors are preferred for hosiery,
and whilo black is still the most fash
ionable choice, dark shades of blue are
much used, also brown, mulberry, and
wine-color. Observation-Disclosures have
narrow hens, with an embroidered
monogram or initial for incest wear,
while those for general use have stripes,
bars, OF figures on the hem, White
silk handkerchiefs have borders dotted
with color, but the handsomest have q
hem with a vine of white embroidery
above it.
Tan-colored undressed kid gloves are
worn by men of fashion; they are of
heavier quality than ladies' Suede
gloves, are fastened by two buttons,
and have three wide rows Of stitching
in self-colored silk On the back. Pearl
colored gloves are occasionally seen
with day dress suits.
Light-colored cashmere hats, with
high crown and rolled brim, will re-
main the summer dress hat, notwith-
standing the rumor that they were to
be Abandoned; black silk hats will,
however, be more used in the evening
than they have been in previous sum-
mers. Stiff Derby felt hats of exceed
ingly light weight are for semi-dress
and business; they come in brown,
black, and the stylish dove-color to
match oyercoats. The Sans Souci soft
felt hats, without lining or ever a bind
ing on the brim, are for travelling and
country wear. There are also fine
English Derby hats that may be dented
or treated most carelessly, yet will inn
mediately resume their formal shape.
Steamer hats of cloth are made with a
gored crown and double visor. Felt
hats are now made so light that the
perishable straw will be little used ex-
cept,i in the country, yet there are large
lmPortatlons OF the 1ne English Dun
stable straws, made with stiff brim and
square crown, somewhatin sailor shape;
the soft yet rough looking Mackinaw
straw hats are also shown in similar
shapes. Youths and small boys will
wear the Sans Souci felt hats and those
Of Mackinaw straw, Still smaller boys
in kilt suits wear hats with wide rolled
brlm made of dark rough straws or
else of mixed colors.-Harpcr's Bazaar.
