New York, Nov 3.-No man so clearly
signifies his intimate knowledge Of what
is timely and approved in the autumn
dress Of his sex, as by wearing spats
snugly buttoned over his morning shoes
or his afternoon patent feathers. With the
1st of October every city man definitely
put off his brown shoes and over well pol
ished calf skin, in the morning when ar
rsyed for his office, he now adjusts pair
of tan brown c.o.h splatter -dashes, as the
Inhabitants of swelldom very p o. eriy des-
ignate them. These brown foot cases are
fastened with small pearl buttons colored
to exactly match the cloth and the man TO
whom details signify great deal buttons
his splatter-dashes on the inner side of
his ankle.
At all the early fan weddings in the
city and at the few afternoon functions
that can out more or less of the fashiona-
Bile masculine rank ana file it has been
made clearly evident that white splatter-
dashes are essentially the mode. The foot
they clasp must be clothed in an ename.ed
or patent leather snoe. the trowsers above
in gray or black and the coat a stately
frock When this environment is all in
good keeping the spllter-dashes are white
and are made of SO fine a quality of lady's
cloth that their surfaces show Il rich sat

these, and it S undeniabe that when wen
fitting and OF Immaculate purity these
dashes of high Ii ht about the feet con
tribute greatly to the dignity and suita-
bic orname ntation Of every mans after
noon toilet.
The man who can see use and beauty
in the addition of the splatter-dashes has
also taken kindly to the new handker-
chiefs that are bright with touch OF
