The good golf has done will live
after the game is forgotten, for be-
cause of golf, and golf alone, men have
dared a little color in their dress. This
daring is developing into positive lust
for dazzling summer linen, flaring
neckties, -waistcoats that fairly scorch
the eyes, and socks and watch-chains
that are coquettishly gay.
The new shirts are wonders, for never
before have we seen really smart men
covering their chests with horizontal
close-set stripes in three shades of
yellow, or barber-pole bands of red
and white completing the Kaleidoscope
situation by a lofty white collar and
tie in which golf red and apple green
struggle for the predominant note.
AS matter of fact, the more strik-
ing and dashing the shirt bosom you
show, the nearer you hit the mark of
accepted style, and your tie must be
vivid bow of silk or not more than
an inch and Il half to two inches long.

fourin-hand of color much
darker than the shirts stripes or a
broad white silk follower. There has
been hot discussion all this spring over
the suitability of wearing white or
cOlored cuffs in the afternoon. and no
decision has as yet been adopted by the
majority.
Men who drive in the park in the
afternoons and appear at the spring
races. horse shows and games, are
clothed in the majesty of gray or tan
tweed, with frock coats to exactly
match waistcoat and trousers. 1t is a
curious fact that though the women,
who usually take slight interest in
fashions, are seriously set
against these gray frock coats, the
men cherish them with earnest pride.

mind that coat flowers are carefully
selected with reference to the necktie

Power of Patent Leather.
For afternoon dress occasions laced
shoes built completely of patent leather
are in sovereign power until the hot
weather comes. The majority of men
choose a shoe with a round English
toe. Those with slender feet of hand

from Paris. and order their shoemak-
ers to cut the toes of their calling
