All About Shirts, Underwear, Neckties,
HosIery and JeweIry.
Shirt bosoms are three or four thick
nesses OF linen made perfectly plain in
shield shape; those for wearing with
low-cut evening vests have eyelets for
three small studs, and may be deli
cately embroidered with slight vine
down the middle. or in small pattern
all over them. Pique bosoms are also
worn. Fashionable collars are high
straight bands almost meeting. or
open in narrow V-shape with the tips
of the corners slightly bent over, or
else turned back fat in three-cornered
shape, in English fashion. Cuffs are
straight and square-cornered with
edges meeting, to be worn with linked
sleeve-buttons. Very heavy silk I'M
derwear. worn by men OF wealth, costs
from SIS to $100 q suit, and is white
ecru or pearl. as the wearer fancies.
Less costly underwear is OF mixed silk
and wool; while for general use the
preference, is given to the natural
wool garments, ecru In color, and very
soft and warm, yet of light weight.
Large scarfs made up in a new
double puff will be most used in figured
satfns of dark colors for morning and
lighter shades for afternoon. The de-
signs are large and snowy. in leaf or
flower outlines Of lighter shade than
that Of the ground, and there are Per-
sian designs of Oriental coloring on
quiet ground Of lustrous satin. Slate
gray promises to be the fashionable
color, and there are many rich scarfs
of dark plum blue and OF the new
Eiffel red, which is cross between
terra-cotta and mahogany. Pearl
color mauve and lavender are old
shades revived for afternoon scarfs.
and also for dressy morning wear at
formal breakfasts or luncheons. Long
English scarfs are wide straight
lengths, to be tied carelessly by the
wearer, and the ends thrust into the
low-cut vest. The white narrowly
folded lawn tie for evening with dress
suits remains unchanged. Fashionable
men who copy some French styles will
wear narrow black satin-ties at the
opera.
Black silk socks with neat small de-
signs of embroidery on the insteps are
chosen for dress.A great many mode
and pretty colored socks are also
worn. Camel's-hair hosiery in, tan
and ecru shades, with light cIocking
at the sides. is luxuriously soft and
warm for winter wear. Medium
width hens tabout three-fourths of an
inch broad) are ON linen handker-
chiefs for general use. White silk
handkerchiefs for the overcoat pocket
have much wider hens. Mufflers to
wear inside the overcoat are large
squares of soft brocaded silk in cream
white or in light pale shades.
Scarf pins are worn quite large, and
those of pearl are the first choice.
Fresh-water pearls in their natural
shape lend themselves to fanciful de-
signs for pins, while more valuable
pearls are used in simple pear shape.
Thin diamonds are set glace-that is,
framed in gold without backing OF
metal-for dressy pins! Three small
studs are now more used than only
two studs. and may be of very small
diamonds or pearls. or else gold or
white enamel. Watch chains are
heavier. and are worn to show outside
the vest from the button-hole to the
eft-pocket.- these chains worn
even with evening dress, as fobs are
now little used. Rings are worn on
the smallest finger, and contain a sin
gle stone--diamend sapphire or en-
erald-deeply imbedded in the gold in
the plain gypsy setting, or else In a
newer and more open setting. with
two thick clamps on eitherside hold
ing the stone trifle higher. -Harper's
