Effects in Collars, Cuffs and
shirts-scarfs and
Ties.
The Sartorial Art Journal furnishes
the following fashion notes for men.
The spring and summer young man
will not be SO gorgeous as of yore, but,
partaking of the present uuietness in
male attire, will subside to very nor
NAL individual indeed.
x*#
Not that he will cease to be elegant in
his dress, but the elegance will be that
of richness devoid of glaring effects and
extreme fancies.
Nv
The neglige shirt of last summer. no
matter how costly, will not be brought
forth to adorn his manly bosom during
the coming season.
Xxx
Neither will the Oxford, Madras or
any other cloth of fancy weave find
favor in his eyes.
But his interest will rather center in
the percale shirt in quiet effects, with
white collars and cuffs stitched on.
x*a
The bosom will have a narrow single
stitched edge, likewise the collar and
cuffs, and will close with three rather
large mother-of-pearl buttons, sewed on.
x*#
In neck dressing, both for these and
for white plain-bosom shirts, the four
| finland scarf of two and one-half inches
in width will receive most favor in his
eyes.
But the band bow will also enlist his
attention, and will make a pleasant
change from the long-tail scarfs.
**x
In colors the first choice will be silver
| gray, followed by rich verbena and buff
in their respective order.
x*x
The material will be English twill
silk, and the designs will be in white of
various but simple confgurations.
x**
These colors and material will be en-
ployed for both the four-in-hand and
band bow, and also for the ose-knotted,
Howing-end Ascot. which will be third
in the procession of popular favor.
x*x
| Altogether, furnishings in the way of
neck dressings seem for the nonce to be
in harmony with the seasons colorings
in woolens, and this being an exception
is worthy of special note.
| x*x
Heretofore colorings in scarfs, etc.,
seem to have been selected. by manu-
facturers haphazard and without due
regard for the colorings in suitings, and
we have persistently advocated change
in this respect.
x*x
1t is pleasure, therefore, to be able
to chronicle the fact that at last the
change has taken place, and with sigh
of relief we can say "better late than
never"
wv
Now when the spring and summer
young man dons his silver-gray suit he
will find at hand scarf of the same
coloring, likewise the same in tan.
x**
But should he prefer contrasting
shade, then the deep verbena cannot
fail to please his fancy, for it may be ap-
propriately worn with almost any color
in suitings.
.x~x
OF course, he will also have the usual
run of soft and lusterless creams and
whites, with or without dark or self-fig-
urings to select from, and as an odd
fancy the solid black.
**x
And in shapes the culros, which is a
small knot with full flowing Windsor
ends, 61s inches in width the Minhead,
an irregular crossed medium size puff,
and the Garrick puff. All beautiful and
all elegant in texture.
x*x
It must not be presumed, however,
from the foregoing paragraphs that the
| spring and summer young man will be
continually spruced and starched.
x*x
Not at ALL for it seems highly proba-
BILE that presently the flannel shirt of
the finest weave in twills will again
come in favor for neglige costumes at
the sea shore and in the mountains;
but for town wear, never.
x*x
Certain it is that manufacturers have
OF late received inquiries from nlgn-class
furnishers for these goods, and the in
ference seems natural that they will
once more be put forward for approval.
x*x
And as something easy" has come to
be necessity for summer wear, and in
view of the fact that other materials for
the purpose have run into the cheap and
common grades, it seems reasonable to
suppose that they will meet the appro-
val of those who fancy such things.
x*x
But the sash, what of that? Well,
this is question not readily answered.
1t, also, has been ''done to DEATH" and
such being the case it cannot be seri-
ously considered in this summary.
~*x
Certainly not for dress, and writing of
dress word in that respect is in order.
x#x
Plain shirt fronts, with narrow-stitch-
ed edges, and plain everything"
! in fact, including the lawn tie, will be
| correct, and collars will be Of moderate
| height with moderately hand-turned or
| ironed-over points. Otherwise properly
