The spring and summer young man will
not be so gorgeous as of yOTc, but, partak-
ing Of the present Quietness in male azure,
will subside to very normal individual In
deed.
Not that he will cease to be elegant in bis
dress, but the elegance will be that OF rich
ness devoid Of glazing effects and extreme
faucies.
The neglige shirt of last summer. no mat !:
ter hoy costly, will not be brought forth to
adorn his manly bosom during the coming
season.
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 viii to
collar and cuffs stitched on.
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.
In neck dressing, both for these and for
white plain-bosom shirts, the four-in-hand
scarf OF 2b inches in width will receive
most favor in his eyes.
But the band bow WIN also enlist his
attention. and will make pleasant change
from the long-tail scarf.
In colors the first choice viii be silver
gray, followed by rich verbena and buff in
their respective order
The material will be English twill silk,
and the designs will be in white Of various
but simple cOnhguratons.
These colors and material will be en-
plOyed for both the four-in-hand and band
bow, and also for the clOse-knot flowing
end Ascot, which will be third in the pro-
cesSion OF popular favor,
Altogether, furnishings 10 the way Of
neck dressings seem for the nonce to be IN
harmony with the seasons cOiOringS IN
woOIens, and this being an exception is
worthy Of special note.
Heretofore eolorings in scarfs. ETC., seem
to have been selected by manufacturers hap
hazard, and without due regard Tor the col
Orings in sutings, and we have Dersistently
advocated change in this respect.
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"
Now when the spring and summer yonng
man dons his Silyer-gray suit he Will find at
hand scarf Of the same cOloTlng, likewise
the same in tan.
Bat should he prefeI -outraSting shade,
then the deep verbena cannot fail TO please
his fancy. for it may be appropriately worn
with almost any color IN suitlngs.
OF course, he will also have the usual run
of soft and lusterless creams and whites,
with or without dark or self fgurngs to
select from, and as an odd fancy the solid
black.
Fruits and flowers and the summer sea
seem to have run riot in the cOlOrlngS of
European novelties; we have crushed straw
berry, the yerbena, the crOcuS. the chest
nut, the tulip, the prune and the neptune.
And in shapes the Culros, which is small
knot with full flowing Windsor ends, six
and half inches in Width; the Minhead,
an Irregular crossed medium size puff, and
the Garrick puff. Ali beautiful and all ele-
CANT in texture.
lt must not be presumed. however, from
the foregoing paragraphs that the spring
and summer young man viii be continually
sprGced and starched.
Not at all, for it seems highly probable
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.
Certain it is that manufacturers have of
late received inquiries from high-class fur
nishers for these goods and tine inference
seems natural that they will once more be
put forward for approval.
And as something easy " has come to be
Il 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 approval Of those who fancy
such things.
But the sash, what of that? Well, this is
a question not readily answered. 1t also
has been done to DEATH and such being
the case it cannot be seriously considered in
this summary.
Certainly not for dress, and writing of
dress a word in that respect is in order.
Plain shrt-frOnts, with narrow single.
stitched edges, and plain everything i'm
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 appareed and
with the little things of attire in accord
with the spirit of this summary, each in its
respective class, the spring and summer
young man may ego on his way rejocing,"
conscious of the fact that he is "all right "
and can only become conspicuous by reason
OF the correctness of his attire, which of
course is the ono thing he fondly desires.-
