l said last wosk that ono never noticed
the sterner sex when on fashions bent,
but lately these modest members OF
society have begun 10 iEtrude so greatly
in tho realm of milady fashion that
noticed they must be. In the evening,
when miiatly is haunting her best and
gaudiest style, brilliant with color and
scintillating with jewels, MILFORD STANDS
demurely aside and mikes a back

black cloth. Button his coaoh-+at
his golf club-ridins- ali, Solomon
in all his glory, was not arrayed like
ono Of those.
When man is asked to lilay golf,
instinctively his thoughts turn to what
to wear. Hero is tho golden oppor.
tunity to indulge the masculine love OF
color The golf suit proper is generally
made OF chcviot. the favorite colors
being brown and olive, or brown plaid
on a gray ground, with rod, yellow
and green over plaid. There is little
change in the cut of tho golf coats.
The loose sack coats arc generally used,
though ultra fashionable men AFFECT
the English cutaway. The trousers
arc far more attractive in appearance.
| The looscness is retained and yet the

change is eifectd by the close adjust
ment at tho knee, the fulness is
| pushed up tho leg, wrinkling like a
mousquetairc glove. A narrow cuff Of
| the same material buttons below the
knee, and is permitted to show above
the stocking. This new mode is adj
mirably adapted for horseback riding.
| The top boots quite covering the cuff
and Disgusting all appearances Of golf.
The glory of the golf suit, however,
centres in the waistcoat. The most
vivid crimson, orange, and plaid covert
| cloths, with small brass buttons, are
| made into the correct waistcoats.
These are cut very high and the fit
must be exceptional. An ascot puff tie
is the correct thing with these waist
coats. Plain, lightweight stockings
with plaid tops, showing fancy colors,
are worn with russell Shoes The shoes,
OF course, are very heavy, with hot
nails studding the soles. Many mer
prefer the regulation cloth caps, bui
the golfer la mode wears light
Alpine hat, girdled with soft scar
of India silk. The neglige shirts fol
golfing are used and when the no
weather sets in they will replace til,
light waistcoats most successfully. l
is great mistake to have the golf sui
of too heavy texture. Have 1t o
medium weight; then when it is yer,
cold wear bright red cardigan JACKIE
to replace the waistcoat For moderat,
weather return to the wsistcoat, ant
