FASHIONS FOR MEN. /

What will Be Considered the Proper
Thing in Mems Attire.
The moonstone is a favorite for
scarf pins. -
Black silk handkerchiefs are consid
cred vulgar.
All the indications point in the di-
rection Of a triumph for the neglige
| shirt.
| At no time since it's introduction has
the patent-leather shoe been so popu-
lar as at present. ,. .a
A new fancy for spring and summer
is cotton han-hose with wooden soles.
It is an imported idea.
The white pique vest of season sgo
while not wholly under the ban is not
effected by the exquisites.
| The puff scarf is still popular,
but is smaller than that worn last
season. One OF the new colors is stone
blue.
The embroidered shirt front is passe.
Only those who pay small heed to the
proprieties of dress now wear it, Pique
fronts, however, if not pronounced are
still in good form.
The ultra fad in suspenders is the
portrait of ones best girl embroidered
in silk on the webbing near the heart
of the wearer. OF course, ones best
girl hould do the embroidering with
h er own sweet, white hands.
! Let no man wear a Derby to whom
a silk hat is becoming, except at bust
ness. That is the general law laid
down by the arb1ters. The silk hat
for spring is almost straight in the
crown, with q narrow brim rather
sharply curled.
Among the swells who haunt the up
town clubs it is considered unpardon-
able to insert the scarfpin in the center
of the necktie. The latest mode is to
insert it diagonally from the left side.
1t is permissible, however, to insert it
diagonally from right to left.
With link sleeve buttons, which are
all the rage, the fashionable thing to
wear is link button in solid silver,
or in silver ornamented with gold.
Stone or diamond settings are not
worn except by those who are not con-
versant with the contemporaneous re-
quirements of fashion.
The general trend OF the spring fash
Ions goes to demonstrate that Amer
leans are rapidly setting up idols of
their own, instead of worshiping at the
shrine of English ideas. 1t is claimed
by not few leading authorities that
the Americans are the best dressed
men in the world.
No decree offashion, apparently, can
displace the four-in-hand scarf. It is
more popular than ever, and varies
so little this season from the style of
preceptible. Fashionable men the
world over now tie their cravats.
Makeup scarfs are for the masses; men
of taste eschew them.
The day of the big walking-stick is
past. The most coveted effects just
at present are natural sticks of me-
dunn size, with modest silver trimmings
Gould-mounted canes are used chiefly
by elderly men or members of the
sedate profession. The latest fad for
spring is stick with natural root,
ornamented with a spiral silver band.
The tan glove, while still in popular
use, is not the correct caper among
men who pretend to set the pace for
the rest OF New Workers. The latest
conceit is a glove as tight fitting as
physical endurace will permit, and of
a rich gold-brown hue. Deep embroid-
cry on the back cannot be worn with
out SHINING against etiquette.
The double-breasted, straight sack
coat is undoubtedly the most popular
garment for spring. The tailors say
that most of their customers want it.
It should not be worn, though, on
fromal occasions, as it is intended
wholly for business wear. This season
the coat is an inch or two longer than
formerly, and the patterns, as rule,
run to plaids and stripes. Solid black
is gradually disappearing.-Daily Con-

In the case Of John Youngman, an In
} dian convicted in Wisconsin of rape and
sentenced to be hanged April g. the presi-
dent committed the sentence to imprison-
