wIDE-nosoMED LONDON SHIRT
Some very attractive novelties in shirt
ince are embroidered French fOur-in-hands,
mainly Of sattecn effects. with figures en-
broidcrcd in colors. Extreme fashions IN
fuil-dress shirts show frilhng down the
middle seam Of the bosom.
Although for evening dress good dress,

three NAV lust az well be worn, and doubt
less will be by Americans Of taste. mas
much as two studs are az elegant ana cor
rect "a one, individual taste may IN TINS
respect be allowed full latitude Of choice.
White enamel buttons for shirt and Guns
are still the style, and no gems OF any sort
are permissible on dress occasions.

That very important portion Of dress,
the collar, exhibits the most ridiculous
break Of the season. and those who follow
the fashion viii wear something different
from what has been before seen these hum

down collar with band quarter OF an
inch high. worn with white necktie'
which has ends two and Is quarter inches
wide. over perfectly plain linen bosom.
The points Of the collar with such cut
are nearly vertical. which gives them n
ludicrOus effect, especially with persons
having thick necks. Tho prevalent aud
