At this season Of the year n question often
arises in the minds of young men as to how
they will dress. Some of those who are more
modest, prefer TO attire themselves neatly
but not gaudily while others prefer garments
in which loud" colors abound.
. II main object in selecting garments Is
to get tho kind that will he cool and CON-
fortable.'' said n broadway haberdasher TO IN
EVENING WoLRD reporter.
People are getting more sensible every
year, and you will see more flannel shirts
worn this year than ever before.
There has Leeu n prejudice against them
heretofore, as they. were looked upon by some
people as only fit for marketmen and coal
beavers but this feeling has been overcome,
and you will see a great many of them worn
"l0f course the most popular material will
be flannel, because 1t Is cheaper than silk and
is just as cool.
French flannel ia having a great run and
l think 1t will be more popular than ever.
We have sold more garments of this material
this season than ever before. and to illustrate
the degr, 9 of their popularity j will say that
l have sold at least ten times as many no far
this season rs during the whole of las season.
The principal merits, that recommend
French flannel il that it is light and cool and
won't shrink. Those who can afford it will
wear silk SHIRTS.
"A nice garment can be obtained at a

Laced fronts, as well as plated. ruffled
and in fact oil fancy ilouts have gone out of
style, and during the coming Summer, the
only correct thing will be a perfectly plain
front with a row of buttons.
The noatest thing IN the way OF shirts Is
the plain linen bosom, with two or three
studs: Marseilles and plated bosoms are
out of style.
"A great many colored shirts are being
worn, but they are not selling as well rs they
did II year or two ago. If one wears u fancy
colored shirt he should wear II white collar
and cuffs of the same mateI ial rs the shirt.
Speaking of collars reminds me that the
fashionable collar is not 30 comfortable as
some other patterns.

linen, about two inches in height, with
turned over points in front. There has been
no change in the style Of cuffs. The sam
styles are now worn as were fashionable last

be in vogue and will hold its own against the
Derby and other styles that have sprung into
existence.
French windsors and French linen
washables will also command a large share of
attention.
THE most natty f~our-in-hands and
"Derbys" will be made up of light material,
with small, modest figures and light stripes.
French washables are made OF linen, and
have rather wide stripes of blue, pink and
other c%olors, that are rather loud. Windsors
are manufactured of Light pongee stuffs. with
light, modest figures, and are very neat and

very fine and is comparatively cheap.
The finest garments will be in light col
ors of pale blue and pink. Socks Of balbrig-
gan n lisle-thread are now worn. Solid
colors and neat, narrow stripes are the rule.
One thing more that 1 haven't mentioned,
