Fashions for Men.

From the Clothier and Furnisher.
Green in the invisible dark shades will be a
color permanently seen in mixed suitings and
spring overcoatings.
1t is pleasure to be able to verify a predic-
ton made early in its introduction that the
Tuxedo coat had come to stay. 1t is more gem
orally worn by fashionable men than ever
since its inception.
There is an effort to be made with a view of
reviving the opera hat Some of the best
authorities on dress among the men of the
fashionable world are IN hearty accord with
the idea and already the leading matters have
begun featuring this convenient tile of full
dress in their show windows.
The velvet collars on the finer smooth-faced
styles of mems top coats are being made more
liberal than heretofore. With the cloth edges
they now measure fully two and one-half inches
of turnover.
the styles in mems straw hats for the coming
season will tend more to the fanciful than last
season. The silk hat bands will be in a variety
of solid colors and combination.
Neglge shlrtIngs Will be offered in silks. silk
wefts, plain and fancy fannels. madras, cheyi-
OTIS. merveilleux and other special fabrics in

The plain wide-bosomed dress shirt continues
to be more prevalent among the sweils, al

forward tine embroidered shirt front does not
abate in the least.

of linen button in the impressive mother of
pearl mounted on gold splrals are correct and
within the means of any one who wishes to be

The excruciatingly bowling latest wrinkle in
shirt studs is to have the oldstyle shirt buttons
sewed on in the good old way and button
through the upper flap of the bosom.
A curious memory of the current season will

ness OF design have greatly moderated. The
majority of the high-class scartngs shown have
been elegant in all transformations way There
has been, too, an unstinted air in respect TO
the material, however fine the texture, and the
display has been greater in variety and in
better taste than ever before The two-and-
one-half inch four-in-hand has been the
leader, with the Ascot finishing in a good place
and the De Joinville running in thoroughbred
form.
When scarf pin is worn with the four-in-
hand or the Ascot tied in similar knot. bear
in mind that it is the strictly modish idea TO
insert the pin SO that the head will fall upon
the center of the lower edge of the crossfold
IL the coat partially hides the bauble so much
the better, for when the scarf pin is seen il
will appear to be exhibited rather by accident
than intention. The London craze over the
extra-wide settled scarfngs, in all manner of
irregular shapes is the costliest fad in tie silks
introduced in many years. The knottings,
seemingly careless, are exceedingly distingue.
and goodly number of huge made-up puff
scarfs In imitation thereof have made an APP
