Tips From London.

From the Mems Outftter.
In London the style in full dress shirts
calls for larger and wider bosoms. Three
studs are worn. The vest closes with
buttons
Novelties in tennis suits are of home
spun serge. The colorings are subdued .
The coats run into checks and the trous-
ers to stripes The colors in both gar
ments match
The English manufacturers of ready
made white vests have prepared for the
London and American markets an ex-
tensiye line of white vests. They are of
fine linen drill in fancy woven patterns,
piques and a novelty called hopsack
linen
Full dress bows made of white satin are
coming to the front in London. Their
use is by no means general, nor are they
recognized as correct by men who are
quoted as criterions of taste. At the
same time there is evidence that they are
growing in favor among the patrons of
the higher grade of Quitting establish
ments in London, pressed in some bright
hue.
A British idea in neekwear is to have
the patterns small where the color is pro-
nounced, but when it is subdued the eff
fects are bold.
The English fad-lovers are sporting
colored silk handkerchiefs. They thrust
them loosely between the left side of the
shirt bosom and the vest.
In printed shirtings many London out
filters have ordered bold and large eff
fects. 1t is the belief, however, among
the finer dealers of that city that stripes
of the modes sort will continue to hold
the field.
The made-up bow in fancy silks, to
buckle in the back, is more or less pop
ular for street wearing among the young
men of the English metropolis But the
way-up English sWells won t have it, or
any other tie that has buckle
English Windsors are in soft tWills and
fancy mats. The ground colors are very
faint tints, and the patterns, which are
usually small, are in some bright shade
of red or blue.
There is tendency in London towards
the loosely flowing Winsor scarfs, and
they will be very popular there next
summer. They form very graceful adj
dition to the flannel shirt
Male costumes for lawn games will APP
pear next summer in white fianneIs with
stripped borders and silk edgings
The twice round hand-tied cravat of
muslin is treated with distinguished con-
sideration by English gentlemen.
Mong London men the white silk vest
is more or less favorite, especially to
wear at entertainments given at country
homes while they are sojourning there.
A rich looking smoking jacket Of silk,
in a Persian effect 1t is warmly wadded
and lined with corded silk, which is
quilted in stripes The garment is an
English production.
Anglo-maniacs win fevel shortly in
cravats of brilliant hues Their ex-
amples on the other side of the water are
wearing Venetian red, coral pink, and
brilliant pink. These colors appear in
the new foulard Ascot, that wonderful
scarf which goes twice around the neck
before adjustment. This style of neck
wear is invariably worn by English swells
on their early morning rides. 1t is worn
without shirt collar and is made of some
soft material that washes well.
Extreme heights prevail in dress col
lars.
The fastest evening waist-coats are cut
very low, closing with only three but
tons.
Manila colored linen vests, double
breasted and with extra large lappels,

may have "a go' later on.
When the would-be imitators of the |
Prince of Wales and the others of the !
royal family ask outfitters from whom |
they buy their supplies what is what,
they are invariably misdirected, so that |
many a London swell sports color or an
effect with the boast that it is the same /
thing as the future king of England af-
fectS when in fact he WOuldn # have
It at any price. This accounts for the |
many bad fads that have been accredited
10 the prince.
