too hot for summer wear.
Serge makes serviceable business
suits.
The best dressers in England are
not wearing superfuously wide
trousers now.
Plain black cloth is still preferred
by most men for dress suits.
A tiny elephants head, the trunk of
which holds a small ruby on
hammered gold background, is one
of the latest designs in scarfpins.
Oscar Wilde has set the fashion IN
England of wearing flannel shirts
embroidered with flowers.
The few frock coats that are worn
now are made of rough surface
material.
The new fashionable London high
hat is said to be in the inverted flower
pot shape.
White flannel suits look well worn
with an old rose or pale blue tie sash
and handkerchief.
AS flannel shirts persist in shrink
ing they should be purchased an inch
longer around the neck than the
linen articles; the coolest are made of
Angora, Glasgow or French twilled
wool
Madras coats made in India and
woven out of some sort of sea grass
are popular and very comfortable.
A reddish color will be the most
| fashionable in listers next winter
and they will be cut very large.
Large bow knots, such as the Pa
risian swells indulge in, are to be in
style.
The Prince of Wales has been seen
in gray suits almost altogether this
summer, either of a dark or light
shade, and wears with them Suede
! half-tanned gloves of the same color.
| Real soft Mackinaw straw hats are
very desirable and cost from So to So.
New London-made frock coats are
close fitting and have very short
| skirts.
| Pretty new four-in-hand scarfs of
crepe de Chine come in gobolin blues
| or old rose, and are embroidered in
geometrical figures.
Black coats are very little worn now
| in London, even in the evening. Light
or dark gray, brown. bottle-green,
purple and lilac, with metal or brass
| buttons, are seen everywhere.
Indian pith helmet hats are ex-
| tremely serviceable for country wear,
as they protect the head from sun and
rain.
| New caps, which have superseded
| the now old style fore and ats for
| yachting or ocean travelling, come
with the cloth pulled down over the
peak or brim.
The dress coat is made either with a
| shawl collar and silk facing to the
| edge or with notched collar and fac
1 ing to the buttonholes.
| The American shoulder is now ex-
tensively advertised by the West End
| tailors in London as the stylish nov
| city in their coats. Twelve ounces Of
lead are used in addition to the wad-
ding to produce this epaulette effect.
| A tiny gold squirrel, with diamond
eyes, perching on the topmost branch,
or several, on a slender tree bark, is
one of the original new designs in
scarf pins.
! The English fashion of high hat all
| the year round is adhered to by some
advanced swells.
| Nineteen and half at the knee and
! eighteen inches at the bottom are now
thought the proper dimensions for
| trousers.
| The most fashionable collar of the
moment is higher than it has been,
with deeper turned down corners and
wider opening.
Handles of natural wood, intensely
| grotesque, without ornamentation,
are the correct thing in canes and UNI
/ brellas now.
| The latest English agony in dress
shirts is to have the plain, fine linen
| bosom arranged in one box pleat in
the centre, without either eyelet hole
or stud.
New gold cuff buttons have diamond
| eyes peering from owls heads.
| Light colored doeskin trousers are
| spoken of among the autumn posi-
bilities.
There is very little hope of relief
| from the high standing collar and
wide cuffs while Prince Albert Victor,
who has the ostrich-like throat OF his
mothers family, continues to have a
| hand in setting the fashions.
The Atwood young men at seashore
! resorts are wearing the white hand
knit Jerseys without any opening
| and with an all round rolled over col
lar with their white flannel suits.
| Oliver Sumner Teale, whose elabor-
ale toilettes have been so much writ
ten up lately in the Philadelphia and
New York papers, is much amused at
the imaginative powers of the report
ers, as in reality the most extravagant
sash he owns has simply row of gold
fringe sewed on its ends.
