WHITE SHIRTS.
They're StfII the ReiGninG Favorftes
with Discriminating Drcssers.

From the HaberdaSher's weekly
1t is difficult to wean men of taste from
their affection for the white shirt. Not
wIthstanding the multiplicity of pleasing
designs in colored shirts this fall, from
modest stripes and bars to elaborate pat
terms of oriental suggestion, many dis
eliminating dressers remain partial to the
white shirt for everyday wear. There Is
an unassuming refinement about this i'm
maculate garment that dwarfs the SNOWY
effects produced by color combinations, and
attracts those with a nice appreciation of
fitness and simplicity in attire. Moreover,
it is easy to adapt the now popular bright
hued scarfs to white shirts. whereas dis
cordant contrasts frequently arise from
the injudicious blending of gay tints in
IeCkWear and Colored shirts.
The fancy Of stylish dressers may Verita-
bly, reVel in the latest patterns of paiamaS.
The utility of these now important articles
of dress is too well established to need
defense. They fulfill every requirement of
the o,d-fashoned night robe and in add
ton boast of admirable features peculiarly
their own. Lovers Of luxury may sleep in

Without doubt the most beautiful linen
handkerchiefs for men are produced In
France, which may be termed the cradle
of artistic handkerchief making. Their
perfection of detail, superiority of finish
and originality OF design have long baffied
imitation. Wide borders, figured bodies.
delicate texture and generous dimensions
characterize the fire colored handkerchiefs
now on view In the shops of fashionable
Ia berdashers.
A fad In handkerchiefs for which the
introducer predicts great vogue, has just
appeared. 1t is to have ones autograph
In fac-simile instead of initials or mono
grams embroidered on handkerchiefs. The
articles so ornamental are sold for s. to
s. q dozen. A persons full name Is repro
duced in faithful imitation of his hand
writing. The work is done abroad.
Cravat makers have surpassed themselves
this season. The hues of their productions
are more brilliant, the fabrics richer and
the shapes more diversified than at any
time within memory. Designers have given
free rein to their artistic fancy, to the de-
light of critical judges of harmony in col
oring. The fashion of selecting squares of
craVating and having them cut to order
into scarfs has spread with amazing rapid
ity. In behalf-Of the innovation 1t must be
said that 1t insures individuality in pat

Federal Steel shares were especially

are responding naturally TO the bond pur-
chasing incident. The offerings of bonds
during the day were not large, but the
street has been given to understand that
small offerings extending over a consider
able period is what is expected.
The process Will allow money to work
back to lower level without forcing a too
sharp rise in sterling rates. Should offer
tngs not come up to the requirements of
the situation the larger banks may force
call rates up TO a high level again. This
action would not cause the alarm Il once
did, because OF the certainty that the gov
eminent offer stood between borrowers and
an actual money stringency.
Loans made during the last hour forced
rates up sharply TO per cent When It Is
considered how freely money was offered
at per cent earlier In the day, the latter
rate may be regarded in the light Of a
penalty upon belated borrowers. Traders
sold stocks on the dearer rates. but a con

The Tip Nuisance.
From the Hartford Courant.


The general passenger agent of the New

tied with having started a project for ter
minating the practice of tipping en-
ployes Mr.. Daniels is in the way of MAX
ing himself one of the most popular men
in the country The tip system in travel
has grown into something more than a
nuisance; it Is considerable factor in the
expense Of moving about. 1t is generally
understood that the sleeping compa-
MES practically pay their porters by let
ting them have what the public may con-
tribute in the way of tips. The fees far
exceed the wages, or rather the other
wages, for these are reckoned in as part
of the return for the work done The way
out IS simple; itds for the corporations to
pay enough to keep the employees con-
tented without preying'on the public. The
clubs of the country have a rule that tin
ping employees is forbidden Wages are
adjusted to the situation. and the men get
what is satisfactory to them, and then each
member of the CLUB gets as good treat

fair way to do. = n.
