SUMMER STYLES FOR MEN.
kntckerbOckcrs and Bright COfOrs
the Thing This Year.

the Ih1nE This Year.
From the New York Sum-
Scotch goods in fawns and grays are the
materials most in vogue this summer.
That most useful of all suits, the blue
serge, Will be as strictly proper as 1t has
been for several years past for morning
wear. There has been very little change in
the cut and style of sack suits; some tailors
will make the coats little longer and a
few of them will make the coats double
breasted unless they are urged not to do
so.
The city man who is anxious for color
may get 1t ir his waistcoats and shirts.
White and white figured single-breasted
waistcoats promise to be more popular dur
ing the warm weather than ever before.
There will be plenty of color in the shirts
and ties. There are already displayed in
the shop windows the brightest of blues,
the most vivid of pinks, various shades of
heliotrope, and other equally lively colors
In shirts. A novelty, and an expensive one
is the plated shirt of thin, fine linen, which
edly be taken up here.
Plaids OF all kinds and colors will be worn
in narrow four-in- hand ties. The butterfly,
and with it the other large artistic" bows
OF year or two ago, will be out of it en-
tlreiy this summer. The plain, straight
bow, the narrow four-in-hand, or the very
large plaStronS are to be the things. 1t is
probable that the plastrons will be worn
very much more this fall than during the
summer. They have been very popular in
London this spring. The English plastrons
that nave come over to this country con-
tain about a yard and a quarter of cloth,
ard they are to be tied very loosely This
makes rather too cumbersome a tie for
warm weather, although the material is
lght These ascots of huge dimensions
made of silk foulard are held in the
bv n
large pin, a medallion, or small cameo,
and they are then pulled out so as to ex-
tend some som distance fgon the shirt front,
worn with frock coats If London.
Men who have been carefully nursing
the straw hats that they wore last season,
In the hope that they may have them
cleaned and fool their, friends with them
this year, Will be disappointed The straw
hat for the summer or 10 has a much
higher crown and a narrower brim than
seadsn1 ea9 of gsar agG i ghter and @ con
the men who invariab biys carry their gloves
in their breast pockeYs. with the ends of
the fingers sticking DIT to indicate that
they are there, will itaulge in colored hat
not apply to college, men who choose to
wear their college c5!prs in their hatbands,
though Of recent years that little display
The colored hatbands has been doomed to
the fate of the colored sash The best
straws will be encircied .by black or dark
blue bands this summer, Self-respecting
men have objected loudly to the spring
and summer derbys that have been offered
as the correct thing by hatters. The crowns
of these hats are low and square in their
effect, and they have not yet become popu-
lar. The new derby is not becoming to the
average man, and the, hatters are finding
that they cannot force them.
Ihere are some new and pronounced
styles in russet leather shoes, which will be
worn by the young men who tuck their
four-in-ha IS into the bosoms of their
shirts just above the first stud and delight
in monogram shields that button around
the neck like bib and are worn with even
ing dress to protect the shirt front. Some
of these advanced russets have buttons
down the side and are in light colors The
russet has been accepted as a sensible I'M
dress shoe. and it will be worn again this
sumner by the men who know, but they
will not indulge in button russets Of light
shades. The darker shades are the thing,
and they should be laced and not buttoned
But, above all things, the young man who
gees out of town for the summer should
dress as If he rode wheel ard played golf,
whether he INDUCES in either sport.
