People Looking After New Styles in Dress

The season of new suits is at hand

ing over what to clothe themselves
with, the coming summer.
The dress goods in mems wear are
very neat. this season. The shops have
good assortments running to Scottish
effects. in grays and browns. prefer
ably the latter. The patterns are
mostly of a quiet description in indefi
mite plaids and checks. or the latter
are some handsome pin checks, in
srays. The plaids are about medium
sized, with various assortments in
mixtures. There are some in silver
grays, which are always pretty. and
meet with constant demand.
There are also some pretty plain
colors in browns which make up well,
and are preferred by some to checks
and mixtures. But. with the majority.
the latter have the call. in made shades
running to light colors-''gay but not
gaudy"
There is something unique about
the selection of colors,'' said a local
tailor to Journal man. THE first of
the season. before the winters dark
styles have become forgotten, that
which is really quite a dark tone. will,
by contrast, show up very light: and
the customer selects what he thinks
will be something very summery
When the hot weather gets in. and the
regular summer wear is generally
worn, these same shades, which looked
so light at first, sink down to be very
moderate
In trouserinss, there are some very
choice patterns in Srays. with some
fine herring-bon stripes
There will be. as usual many who
will wear the conventional blues and
blacks in light weight serges. These
are always neat and meet with good
demands. The serges will have the
call over cheviots. Then, later. when
the hottest of the hot weather sets in,
the white duck pants will blossom out
Men generally recognize the comfort
they get from these. and they will be
worn~by many.
The colored shirt in fancy stripes and
checks, in delicate colorings, will be
popular the coming summer. as they
have been in the past. Figures in
choice shades. well covered, but not
loud. will be fashionable. The ties now
worn are made up in covered checks,
and also in the Scotch ana Highland
plaids. String ties in plain colors and
in neat patterns are on the market, for
midsummer wear. They will be as
usual in washable materials.
For women's wear. the shirt waist
in checks and plaids. and strong stripes
will be popular, to be worn with serges
in plain colors and fancy mixtures.
