FASHIONS FOR MEN.
Turn-DOwn COlIars-Revival of the era
va,-Canes and Umbrellas-Black

From the Clothier and Furcishor.
All of the leading mems furnisbers will, from
this time forth, keep upon their shelves from
three to half dozen of the new turn down
styles of collars as part of the staple stock of
the line. The styles are not-as is the
mistaken idea of some-in any measure within
the pale of the freak collar influence that
struck the realm of fixings like a humorous
cyclone last year. They are sensible comfort
able, unobtrusive and becoming The judg-
ment of the world of fashion will sanction
them.
good fngermark OF the turn down ten
dency is the feet that number of the custom
made shirts. with collars attached, have been
recently ordered with turn-down collars and
these, concurrently, wero cut especially high in
the neck.
This is a detail that should be noted in the
purchase of n negligee shirt. A skinny collar
on negligee shirt, one that is not cut so as to
show well above the outing coat, will produce
avery sorry and inadequate effect.
The revival of the cravat is one of the sur
prises OF the season. With the colored shirts
quiet solid color is most effective. But there
Is "a great multiplicity Of patterns and color
ings to choose from. They are not to be worn
with the negligee shirt
The unexpected acceptation Of the cravat is
but another indication of the growing de-
deed quite superseded the buckle made-up
goods. The reigning widths are from IL to
Ia inches.
The catch and-buckle made-up goods, by the
way. cannot, in the nature Of their cons truction
be worn with the turnover collar, and when
adjusted to the standing collar the band has a
tendency to slip up behind and show the buckle.
This exposure is. OF course, untidy and much to
be deplored.
The Windsor tie has not vet experienced the
boom wa tod he
ing season, however, is fairly at its height the
Windsor tie will have its sway.
There seems to be another change in the PEN
chant for canes, the heavy, decorative handles
pelng once more the vogue. The ornaments

chasing continuing greater distance down the
suck. Professional men may carry their canes
at all ~ars OF the day.
During the early days of juno, when the sun

brisk sale among well-dressed men of light

the season and its purpose, without being too
conspicuous in ensemble, will confer a favor

The craze for black in mems furnishings
| seems to continue. The effort to introduce the
! wide black silk and satin cravats with evening
| dress goes wrongfully aud abortively on. The
advocates OF gloom have even gone 80 far as to
bring about an importation of black lawn to be
made up into full dress bows. The black straw
hat has many devotees and now the black bath
] ing suit is the latest wrinkle Of the somber-
| minded coterie.
A rough straw hat Of Hns quality both in
white and black, is the latest novelty in tile
dom.
The high silk hat was worn as early a. 1889,
as pictures by the famous artist, Albert Durer,
show.
There are number of so-calied made-up
