Few Novelties to Mark tho Fashions For
the Present Season.
"Thcro was never n season that
brought forth fewer novelties in neck
wear" said the salesman, "and tho
man who is looking for some style that
is entirely new will have to 90 some
where else than New York to find it.
Maybe he can get it i'll London, but [
doubt that, for up to this time there
has not como to this country the least
indication Of anything novel there.
This seasons fashions arc only little
changed copies of what preceded them,
and i'll all that have come under my no
tice thcyc has been nothing distinctly
novel.
II should say that tho most striking
feature of the styles this year is the de-
termincd effort to make popular the ties
of silk stamped with Indian designs
which made their appearance first abont
five years ago. Ever since that timo
they have been regarded i'll London as
the smartest sort of scarf man can
wear. The same vogue camo to this
sort of goods in Boston, but hero in
New York the stutfs could never BIO
made moro than moderately fashion
able This year larger stock Of these
ties has been put Oh tho market than
ever before The check, after an enor-
nous popularity, seems to have about
had its day. III silks and linens it has
had the field for four years now, but
this summer there is likely to be less
seen Of it,
Variations of tho Indian patterns
arc found i'll very striking contrasts of
rather crude blue and red designs, usu
ally III squares, but tho small circles
and notified patterns still remain the
best i'll these goods Last summer q
great number of the vivid striped tics
worn by the English athletic clubs, as
well as the regiments were brought to
this country, and although there were
not enough of them to make the fashion
very popular it undoubtedly had its ef-
feet. This is plain enough to BIO seen i'll
the scarfs this summer, and these Eng
lish stripes, in colors less vivid and i'll
combinations considerably abated, arc
OH the market. The firm that imported
these striped ties last summer has
brought over this year three or four
times rs many, and i'll Il number OF tho
ties these stripes arc to be seen i'll Il
form more adapted TO the customs of
New York life than the colors Of an
English athletic club. These original
ties were very popular for country wear.
although they were worn as well in
New York. Not only i'll the Ascots arc
these limitations of the English ties to
be found, but i'll other string ties as
well.
''In the linen wash ties the stripe or
the check is not IN important question,
rs the colors arc rarely marked enough
to make the pattern distinctive. L
should say, though, that the man who
wanted TO wear what is NEST i'll accord
with the summer fashion would be NIL
right if he bought the red, yellow and
blue india silk materials i'll tho mar
row string ties and the bright colorcd
stripes in four in hands. In the usual
blue and white summer scarfs there are
this year some tasteful variations, eff
focted chiefly by IN unusual preponder-
ance of white and the use of sort of
Japanese effect in the pattern. But tho
old polka dot effects and the blue ground
with the small white figure are today
smarter and i'll more demand than these
new patterns in the same class. They
never vary very much winter or sum-
mer, save in material, year after year,
and the man who clinSs to them is not
likely to be far away from the best taste
and the hest style. The gay striped silks
are occasionally worn us ascots, but
this is not IN easy fashion, the colors
being so gay us to make an effect too
striking for good form save on race
track or a coach.
"Wi,h the blue and white these Eng
lish striped four in hands and the mar
row string ties of india silk a man
may be fairly sure that he is well dressed
so far as his neckwcar goes, and that is
not an unimportant Part of dress. -
