THE MILITARY BURDEN.

An example of the military distrust
which pervades Europe is afforded by the
uneasiness felt in German military circles
over the fact that notwithstanding all
efforts the army of France continues to ex-
ceed that of Germany by 40, 900 men; while
the field artillery of France is some 800 guns
the larger. This is inciting the Imperial
Government to every effort to increase its
army. But as the Constitution of the Ger
man empire limits the conscription to one
per cent of the population it is apparent
that the attempt to go beyond that limita-
ton will be difficult, if not dangerous. Per-
haps the reported offer to reutralize
Alsace and Lorraine is not so purely disiD-
terested and philanthropic as it looks at
first sight

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

The standing collar, with bent points, is
by all odds the proper caper with evening
dress.
Solid black underwear in pure silk is an
imported conceit which has captured the
within of many Americans.
Link cuff buttons of solid silver are
fashionable with business men who de-
vote attention to their dress.
Wide braids of silk, black and lustrous,
are bedecked with heavy gold pendants,
are fashionable for fob guards.
For evening wear the fashionable glove
is of pearl gray tint with Substituting.
The stitching should not be too wide.
The night-shirt of fashion is becoming
thing of gorgeousness. A China silk
robe, hand-embroidered in blue, pink or
maroon, is one of the most priced effects
English collar manufacturers have fallen
in line with the American producers, and
are making novel collars without end, and
with little regard to the lines of grace or
beauty.
1t is worthy of note that the embroid-
cred shirt front has become general
favorite for day wear, while for evening
use fashionable men have practically dis
carded it.
Fcps and extreme dressers, in imitation
of the Partisan dude, are affecting black
silk handkerchiefs with evening dress.
The fad is regarded as repugnant alike to
good taste and common sense.
The wide Ascot and puff scarfs of me-
dunn size have the call among the swells.
Plain men whose aim is to dress faultlessly
and, as matter of course, noiselessly,
show preference for the four-in-hand.
Lovers of tennis may feel doubly reas-
sured The manufacturers and importers
of tennis costumes are displaying line of
goods for next summer that are beautiful
beyond anything dreamed of in the past.
The double-breasted sack coat which has
attained such popularity during the last
few months, promises to continue favor
lite for young men for a season longer at
least. The double-breasted cutaway sack
is gaining in favor.
The Prince Albert coat dies hard. AL
though for several seasons past it has
sions, it is still worn in preference to all
otner5 Dy large NUMBER Oh tasteiut men
at afternoon weddings, afternoon calls and
at the matinee.
The revival Of the soft hat is one Of the
inscrutable fancies of the season. 1t Is
worn by clubmen, brokers, mercantile men
and dudes. Plenty of business men have
discarded the silk hat altogether except
for evening wear. The Derby, however,
continues to hold its own.
