The Correct Collars, Cum. scsrfs and
Gloves That Men VIII Wear This Fall
Proposed Business Mans suit-Impor-
tsnt Facts For ChHppies.
Fashions In mems collars, cuffs, scarfs,
hats, gloves, shoes and stockings are an
nounced for the coming fall and winter,
and the designers, who lie awake nights in
the effort to devise novelties, have pro
duced some rather interesting innovations.
Perhaps the most pronounced departure
from the styles and shapes which have
heretofore held sway are the collars. The
new collar will De built on the plan of the
airy rundown affair but at the same
time It will be as high as the pokes, which
were worn away up under the chin dur
ing the dog days, TO the great discomfort
Of the wearer. Anything that will give
the appearance of comfort as we'll as hav-
ing vestige Of style Is to be desired, SO
the standing collar, which has little full
er roll than that seen In the poke, will
probably meet with much favor
What has been called the "white wing"
collar will be very much I'm evidence dur
ing the fall and well into the winter The
length of the points and height of the col
lars will vary considerably.
In neckwear the stylish man will eschew
everything but the DE Joinville, for this
pretty creation Is made In SO many charm
ing colors and combinations of colors, and
is susceptible of being tied in SO many
shapes that it will afford sufficient vari-
ETY. In form and appearance to satisfy the
most fastidious. The man who Is not ul-
ira fashionable and chooses to combine
good Judgment with good taste will have
his own ideas AS to the proprieties I'm neck
wear and will undoubtedly elect to wear
the puff scarf, which covers the entire
shirt front and In SO doing acts as a first
rate protector from the cold. The range
of selection Is q wide one.
In the matter of cuffs there Is an appar-
ent effort on the part of the manufactur-
ers to reintroduce the plain article, with
square and round corners, which has been
superseded In the past year by the pretty
link cuffs. In the latter style there are
two new and very pretty shapes that will
commend themselves to the well dressed
man.
The proper shoe to wear for evening
dress during the coming season Is an en-
ameled leather lace, but a shoe Of the same
kind Of leather with five large buttons
will frequently be seen. For ordinary
wear there will be worn IA substantial shoe
with an extension sole, laced and having
machine made creases across the front.
This is new wrinkle, SO to speak, the
idea of the manufacturer being to save the
foot the labor Of making the creases which
are bound to appear I'm the shoe sooner or
later.
When IL is training in London" and the
chappies turn up trouser legs four or five
inches from the bottom, there will be seen
dashes Of color In the masculine hose which
will astonish the ladies considerably.
There Is also suggested a unique cos
tune for business men who are brave
enough to wear knickerbockers with golf
stockings to and from their offices or on
the cars. This Is distinctly foreign sug-
gestion and not without advantages In the
way Of comfort not TO say picturesqueness,
II a man has shapely calves.
In gloves the shades will run much
lighter than In former years for ordinary
wear The man who will insist on wear
ing russell shoes during the winter must
go to the trouble of making his gloves and
shoes match I'm color. But the man who
affects russell footwear in six inches, more
or less, of snow is likely to please himself
in almost anything he says, does or wears.
The taboo which In the spring was put
upon all sorts of metal decorations on
Sticks has been removed as II by CON-
mon consent OF the chappies, and some
silver may now be worn, but just a very
little bit will be proper. Gold must not be
used under any ircumstances.-New York
