NOT FOR YOU, MISS.
STYLES AND FASHIONS THAT MEN
WILL WEAR NEXT FALL.

| The man who wants 10 dress well and
who knows how mny be counted on 10 fol-
low moro or less closely tho established
styles Of tho season, and ho will have less
reason TO complain this fall than for many
years. Tho standard fashion plates for
meh' y clothes are lY'ised on the observation
OF trained artists and tho advice Of leading
tailors. If n few mon who are known to
have good taste In their clothes take up q
Certain style and force IL, the tailors arc
pretty certain to adopt II.
Mems fashions, after an unprecedented
display of ficklcnoss, have suddenly become
sedatc, sensible and modest The changes
that have been made are for tho better.
The predominant colors In fabrics will be
blues, browns and brown-grco mixtures.
Grays will be much less popular than last
season, but mixtures and fancy designs In
stripes, checks and plaids will be more gen.
orally worn than they have been for years
The Chesterfield or fly front oversack will
be the popular ovcrcoat Of tho season. 1t
will be made from large variety Of fab
rics, chief among which are rough mix
lures in lambs woods, cheviots, worsteds
and vicunas In browns and mixtures.
The Chesterfield this year will be cut quite
sharply In the back, though 1t will not DO
close fitting, and 1t will be sprung well
out over the hips to show q moderate
amount Of bottom fullness. The length
for man Of average height, feet 8
inches, will range from 40 to Al inches.
Tho box overcoat, as for many years,
will be worn by many men who dress we'll.
1t will be made from smooth faced fabrics
and will of course be Of ample proper
tions. For man Of average height 1t
will range In length from Al to 46 inches.
For tall, well formed men who are not
easily frightened by q formidable price tho
surtout will be popular. 1t will be made
of soft, dressy fabrics or smooth faced ma
terials The collar will be extremely long,
and tho lapels will be very much peaked.
The collar should bio of velvet and have a
width Of 2A inches at the ends.
Some changes, but not radical Ones are
noticed In tho style for evening clothes.
The dress coat for the coming season will
be shorter and will have a mere clearly
defined skirt bottom than " hos had In the
past two or three years. The peaked lapel
style will have a longer collar. The ma
terials that will bo chiefly used arc the
same us heretofore, the most popular being
fine clear cut plain twill, raised undressed
.worstcds. The peaked lapel style Of coat
The collar for the peaked lapel style will
be extremely long and should roll to the
second button from tho waist seam. The
silk facing may extend to tho buttonholes,
or 1t may cover the entire roll. The edges
will be blind, or prick stitched, or corded,
or bound as ones taste may dictate The
waistooat, IL Of the same material as the
GOAT, will be single breasted.
The trousers will average 10 inches at
the knee and 1917 at the bottom. They
will have scarcely any spring, and the side
seams will bo finished with fancy braid as
rule, though ID will be correct and In
good taste to finish them to match the
edges Of the coat II these are corded or cord
bound
The Tuxedo, or dress sack, Is compile
mentary to the dress suit and Is much
worn at stag dinners, when full dress Is
permissible, but not Imperative, and as a
semineglige coat when the rest of the cos
tune is correct for evening dress 1t is a
lshapely sack, averaging so inches in length
and has an all silk roll either of the shawl
form or with peaked lapel effect.
For day and half dress the materials
that will be chiefly used are lambs wools
worsteds, cheviots and vicunas for the coat
and vest and modestly striped woolens or
worsteds for the trousers, and for business
worstcds and cheviots In shades Of black,
blue and brown and In mixtures and her
ringbone effects for the full suit or for the
coat and vest only, and moderately wide
or very wide striped, or fancy checked or
plaidcd woolons, worsteds or cassimeres
for the trousers. A single or double
breasted vest Of a modest fancy vesting
will frequently be worn with this suit
The coat will average 10 and 80 inches in
length for man whose height Is feet 6
inches.
The same materials will be used for
cutaway frock suits as for the double
breasted frock suits for day wear. The
three button cutaway will be popular for
business wear as ever, but for day dress 1t
is losing casio. 1t will be what Is known
as "half and half In length--that Is, the
full longth will be twice the length to the
hip buttons. The ono button cutaway is
adapted for oorpulent men, but II adver-
tises their ample girth on account Of it's
cut, and for that reason 1t Is dropping ont.
The most popular sack will bo tho four
button cutaway, which will entirely cover
the vest, but the three button style, cut
hway from point high enough TO permit
one button Of tho vest to show, will be
almost as we'll liked. Both Of these coats
will be sbapely to tho waist and have a
moderate amount Of scot and bottom full
ness; shoulders Of natural width, and
back with an invented center seam, and
wido from tho waist down without side
vents.
The same objection prevails to the one
button cutaway sack AS To tho one button
cutaway frock. Nevertheless, IL will have
many friends and Is not only very
handsome coat, but especially becoming to
stout and corpulent men. 1t will be of
tho same length and finish as tho throo or
four button cutaway.
Tho double breasted sack will be as
much fnnciod as it was last spring and ono
year ago. It will range from 81 to 82
Inches In length, but Will be In oil other
respocts the same In the back us the single
breostcd coat. The collar will be OK
tremcly long; the lapels will bo very de-
eidodly peaked and will range from eH
