NOT EXPRESSED IN FANCY.
Modesty is Fashions Mandate for Mems
Attire This Summer.

This summer we are going to be gov
erned by very simple rules. The key TO
the entire scheme Of dress is modesty
Nothing can be overdone on that side
Extremely quiet colors, the darker tones
predomlnating. and very little jewelry
to set the ensemble on. is the edict. Bril-
liants and bright shining gold ornaments
are tabooed Ii is bad form 10 wear dla-
monds, large wasch chains, beJe"elet
iockets and charms. diamond rings and
diamond pins. Large cuff jewelry or
scarf iewelry should not be worn at any
time.
The proper jewelry for the scarf is a
small gold pin. Ornamented with pearls.
The coronet. butterfly. clover leaf, and
otheEdevices are popular. These pins are
of dull-hnished gold and very little OF
that precious metal shows. The link but
tons should be Of dull finished gold. with
out any Jewels The shirt studs should
be Of the same metal and finish. Watch
chains should he Of small, delicate links
Of gold, and should run from the watch
pocket straight across the vest TO the
pocket on the other side.
Separabe cuffs are very popular with
that class OF men who like TO save a few
cents on the laundry bill. Your we'll
dressed man never wears separable CUFFS.
His cuffs are made upon the shirt. The
best shirts Of English make have cuffs
four inches deep. and the buttonhole is at
least 81 inches from the edge. Collars
should be attached 10 the shirt, but the
rule is broken by many. The separable
collar Is still too popular 10 even feel
I'm the slightest degree the mandates of
fashion which condemn it.
Poke collars are not quite so high as
they were last winter. The latest poke
gives n man room for chin motion. The
old style was even painful 70 that class
OF men who preferred garroting 20 being
out OF style. Turn over point collars are
still 10 favor. But these are the solid
collars; those with the inserted points DO
not find favor with the swell. Turn
down collars are destined 10 figure promi-
nenty this summer. The best shape Is
that with a moderately high band, long
points and small front spacing. IL must
be a collar that will fit the small knot
snugly.- Haberdasher.

A Good Mans wish.

over me and say: There lies one who
was a real friend 10 me. and privately
warned me Of the dangers of the yourg

time OF need. / owe what am to him"
or would rather have some widow. with
choking utterance telling her children:
There is your friend and mine. He
visited me in my affection. and found you,
my son. an employer. and you, my daugh-
ter. happy home in virtuous family"
I say I would rather that such persons
would stand at my grave than to have
erected over Il the most beautiful sculD-
tured monument OF Pauan or Italian
marble. The hearts broken utterance of
reflections Of past kindness, and the tears
of grateful memory shed upon the grave
are more valuable In my estimation than
the most costly cenotaph ever reared
