like the Ascot and then made in knot.
Below this q scarf pin 10 inserted. But
there is yet more to come. The silk
must be puffed out and cover the entire
shirt front, which means a great deal
now that waiatcoats are cut so low and
men wear their coats habitually unbut-
toned. Red seems to lead, and the
windows of the shops are simply daz-
zling with this brilliant color. The
handsomest of all the English scarfs in
this shape, however, are of black silk or
satin. with small flowers, or designs
raised in white or blue, or again in the
all-prevailing red.
II the arrangement of these cravAts
proves too much for the patience of the
ordinary man, he can select a four'in'
hand, which is still tho fashion this
year. These are, however, narrower
this season, and black with colored de-
signs or stipes are the most popular.
Again, there are very narrow black ties
to be adjusted in single knot like q
four-in-hsnd. or the ordinary club tie or
cravat, to be arranged in q square bow !;
and the latter come in all possible de-
signs and colors. So it will be seen that
with such an embarrassment OF rich
material, man can very easily spend
quite ANAL fortune in the item OF
scarfs and ties alone, and men have
been known to make collections OF
these bits of ribbon ss others gather
around them old china or rare books.
WHAT SMALL BOYS WEAR.

MILITARY suits are offered as rivals TO
sailor suits for boys OF to IL years.
They are made of bright blue doeskin,
of the blue<gray cloth worn by West
Point cadets, or else OF dark blue cloth.
The coat is cut like a United States Of
fcer's undress coat or sack, buttoned
up the single breasted front by five but
tons, and braided across in five leaves.
Similar ornaments are on the high
turned.ovsr collar on the sleeves. The
knee.breeches are quite straight. To
complete this suit very effectively is
military cape of the cloth OF the coat
a circular cape such as officers wear.
1t has hood attached, and is lined
throughout with red flannel or cloth. A
row of military brass buttons is down
the front of the cape.
School suits for boys from 5 to 10
years of age are made of eheviots, light
grsys or browns, or darker mixtures, or
else checked. Most of these suits have
double breasted jacket and knee
breeches. but the present fancy is to
put trousers on boys OF II, an unbecom-
ing fashion. making them look like old
men. With these are worn sack coat
and vest, shirt, with standing collar
and acarf, and derby hat.
Church suits for boys up to 10 years
are made of blue or green cloth, with
the jacket meeting at tho throat and
opening below over long vest. 1t is
handsomely braided in cross-rows of
black on each side of the front. The
knee pantaloons have elso cross-rows of
braiding. A turned-over collar of linen

testing as shyly when seen without his
skirt as did Rosalind herself when dis
covered in trousers in the forest of
Arden.
Blue serge for daily wear. and white
serge for best. are chosen for the kilt
and little jacket in the winter. though
some boys wear white pique suits all
the year. There are broadclotns, tricots,
cheviota and veiveteens for the largest
boys, but serge is in best taste for all
sizes. The short jncket may be squares
corneted. or else rounded in Zouave
fashion, but must never reach the edge
of the full white blouse beneath. The
kilt is either eide-pleated or in box
pleats, falling just over the knee, and ia
sewed to a silesia waist. The full droop.
ing blouse with large square collar is OF
fine white lawn or of Japanese silk
dsintily embroidered. Norfolk pleated
suits of cheviot, and Scotch plaid kits
with plain cloth Jackets, are also shown
for boys of five years. An important
matter is that the kilt skirt be worn
without petticoats underneath to diaa
tend it, The kilt should hang straight
with unbroken pleats over knee -breeohes

be made comfortably warm by merino
drawers and long black WOODEN stock

is Tam o'Shanter of blue serge or of

ness of the coat on the shirt and looks

Boots and shoes have had but little
change. The toes are not pointed, but
rounded, and stickler for dress insists
that the smartest thing for afternoon

buttoned. but not laced. Russet shoes
are favorites for the country, and for
rainy weather in the city. They are
also worn q great deal with sack or
business suits, especially If the latter be
brown in color, and always for travelling.
The collar for ordinary occasions ia
moderately nigh and square. The Eton
collar, which turns over so as to preserve
the form of q very high standing one,
is much in vogue among young men,
who wear with it q simple black bow in
way of neck gear. Colored shirts of
percale and linen. pinks and blues the
favorite hues, are worn in the morning,
and by some even with frock coats in
the afternoon. This latter fad is consid.
cred very British, but it smaoks of
Cheapside rather than the West End.
The silk hat of this season is rather
small In the crown and extends up in q
bell-like shape, with very narrow band
of ribbed black silk ribbon; the brim is
curling and bound with ribbon of the

The Homburg hat is still very much
in vogue for informal occasions, either
in gray with band of lighter shade, or
brown with brown band. or black with
black gros grained ribbed band. The
black derby hat is still much worn. a
little higher in the crown, with graceful
curling brim.
The neckw ear this winter ia somewhat

very much like the Ascot, but they are
more voluminous. To tie them requires

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

which promotes loosensss rather than
tightneas in fit. 1t has three buttons,
and just under the third one it makes
direct slope for the back. Both skirt
and tail are quite long, reaching below
the knee.
For general comfort and for wear and
tear there is nothing like the sack suit.
The English call it the lounge, and
make it loose and comfortable, choosing
tweeds and WOODEN goods, and mixed
black and grays and warm browns, and
again cheviots and Scotch designs. In
this they are sensible. The styles in
America are modelled after the London
fashions in sack suits. Neither has un-
dergone any change, except that the
coats are shorter. 1t remains without
doubt the most becoming set of gar
ments man can wear. He actually
lives in them. and he grows to love
them, and he hates to throw them
aside.

The ever-popular sailor suits are made
for boys from to years of age. and are
also used by those IL years old. The
smallest boys (who should still be in
kilts) wear either the sailor trousers
faring at the foot or else short knee
brseches. The midshipman suit, copied
from the regular navy jacket, is of blue
serge, the fronts opening on shield or
vest of serge embroidered with crossed
anchors and three bars in red. Four
little brass buttons are on each aide of
the open jacket, and there is large
sailor collar of the serge, over which
separate collar is worn, either of white
serge or pique. Sometimes white
shield is also used, OF serge or of galatea.
HEAVY fannels are needed under the
open jacket. This boy wears a reefer of
thick blne chinchilla, which may now
be ornanented with regulation buttons

the anchor buttons 40 long worn.

When taken into society, the Eton
suit with trousers is worn by boys of
eight to fourteen years, even though
they wear knee breeches with other
suits. Tuxedo suits are worn by youths
of from 10 to 16 years. The Tuxedo coat
is sack coat with shawl collar and
dress. coat front. 1t is made OF soft black
worsteds similar to those used for men
evening clothes. Knee breeches or
trousers may be worn as one chooses.
II these suits are considered extreme,
then three.buttoned, cut'away sack
may be made of blue or black tricot or
diagonal. with bit OF pioue veat
showing.
Chinchilla rsefers and short box coats
are iE great favor with boys for over
coats for general wear. The short nox
coat cut straight is liked for boys in
knee breeches. Something for swell oc-
casions is long box coat of dark blue
kersey with velvet collar.
