SUMMER STYLES FOR MEN.
What Should Be Worn During the Warm
Months.
Flannel Shirts and Candy sashes Will Fe
Discarded - The Latest DEGREES of
Fashion.

IL you want TO cut O dash and be In the
very height of fashion In your outing fam
mel you will not wear II flannel shirt this
summer. 1t does not matter whether the
pattern OF the goods is quiet or loud. Fash
ion has decreed that the flannel shirt shall
not be worn.
OF course flannel will and may properly
be worn when one takes any violent exer-
else, such as playing ball. tennis or cricket.
But II You are fond Of playing croauet, loli-
ing upon The hotel piazza or strolling about
you will not wear flannel shirt There are
several reasons for this, two of which only
need be mentioned. No man appears at his
best in flannel shirt. 1t is very comfort
able when you are eXeTting yourself, but it
certainly never gives a man an appearance
of being dressed. Then again - and this.
perhaps, is just as weighty reas0n-the
flannel shirt is worn by everybody.
Another thing which must not be worn
by those who desire to appear we'll dressed
this summer is the silk shirt The first
objection offered against the flannel shirts
holds good with regard to silk shirts; al
though the second may not apply so well.
Anyhow, they will not be worn.
Another article of summer dress which
has been decreed against is the glorious
sash. Last, and particularly the year be-
fore, the wearing of saSheS was carried TO
absurdity. The people who wore them
caused them TO lose their original character
OF usefulness, and made them simply cum
bTous Ornaments-Or what were by some
supposed to be ornaments. This brought
them into disfavor. and even last year there
we're few who made pretenSionS to being
well dressed who wore this great wide sash,
with its big bow and long flowing ends.
And the yachting cap-that which was
a No ba

not even at Long Branch or Narragansett
pier, although it may be seen at Coney Isl
and or Rockaway.
With these exiled garments will be sent
the cheap shiny russell shoes. Low cuts"
or high cuts" It makes no difference, the
russell shoes have reached their end and
have received their congo. And the silk tie
Will receive no more favor.
Now. that's what wel-dresSed man wont
wear this summer
Here are some of the things he will wear:
The flannel shirt Will be replaced by
Zephyrs, Madras, Oxford and cheviot aud
similar cloths, these names being really
merely designations of the different
weights OF the meSheS The shirts will
be worn in c0lOTs, and in most eases will
have collars and cuffs made on the shirts.
There will be variety of striped shirts
worn, but the real select will wear shirts
IN solid eolOrs. and of these pink and blue
will prevail A very handsome shirt is
made Of French batiste. 1t costs So and

ordinary sack suit minus the vest, it will
be good form. Some of the shirts have
white collars and cuffs attached. The col

IL must fit snugly and yet leave you plenty
OF freedom. An outing suit consists OF a
sack coat and trousers. Have your trousers
made tight around the hips so that they will
require no belt TO keep them up, although &

crieketing flanneis Solid blue or black
will be mostly worn, although there will be
few browns. Stripes also will prevail,
mostly on white ground, and full suit Of

nice. Your suit may have one, two or
three color,d stripes on it-blue and black,
brown and black, brown. blue and black
ann various other combinations may be
used. But don't wear a coat of one color or
stripe and trousers Of another color or

Around your waist place neat belt OF
leather or pigskin, with leather-covered
buckles. Or. if you can't shake loose FROM
the sash without qualms of conscience for

waist and tied IN the back with loose knot.
