pockets may be introduced. and the
corners may be square or rounded, ex-
cept in the case of a striped material
when the coat must be square. The
velvet collar for dress coats has come
to stay and is accorded high praise
from authoritative sources. The Tuxedo
remains a fixture, with its shawl coll
lar and perfect lines. A novelty in the
way of a dress waistcoat is of white
pique edged with a fine black cord, in

all white or black vest for evening
wear.

/ red, plain or striped II the shirt is
made Of the plain goods. the bosom is
tucked; if of the striped the lines should

shirts. Chambray in every imaginable
color flaunts its beauty of texture in
! the face Of the modest man who cares
not for famboyant dots, figures and
broad stripes. Cravats and shirts Of the
same material for ordinary wear are
wooden goods or pique still obtain for
golf and outdoor sports.
This season no one particular kind Of
collar viii be fashionable. The same
| thing may be said of ties It is true
that, as rule, smart men don't wear
the stick-up-turn-down collar with a
frock coat. but this is about the only
point that man need observe with re-
n I'D Tha
tie and the stick-up- turn-down collar
look best with a morning coat or lounge
jacket. Perhaps the most fashionable
collar for wearing in conjunction with
frock coat Is a stick up slightly bent
down in front This looks equally well
when worn with sailors knot tie or a |
fOur-in-hand. Fer elderly men who find
a two and a half inch collar uncomtort- |
able one Of lesser height has been de- |
signed. It is the old stick up turn-down |
kind, which is more acceptable than a |
startling novelty which for obvious rea- |
sons, the fine old man hesitates to |
adopt
Topcoats are full. baggy and very |
short. a new driving coat. which is al |
so used for stormy weather. is a long. |
skapeless affair with sleeves inserted a
the collar which appear to be spliced at
the shoulder.
Mems shoes fit the foot these days and |
are no longer or broader than nature
demands, though provided with heavy /
soles and corked. round toes. Box cloth
topped boots with fiat pearl buttons
may be chronicled as the extreme Of
fashion.
In the small appointments in dress
civ r. oh |
brellas and walking sticks come in sets
with an adjustable silver or bone han
die which can be unscrewed and used
for either cane or umbrella. The con-
servative man clings to the big silk
square as a dress shirt protector, de-
spite the effort to introduce quilted silk
ones, which at best are clumsy. New
market cravats, white or otherwise, are
fastened in front with safety pin, rep
reser ting coach horn, riding stock or
fox's brush. Broad stripes prevail in
neckwear. Green and violet are IA,
vorite colors. Handkerchief enjoy COL
or prestige and are as gay as Paris
can weave them. Plaid
centers and colored borders are the
vogue, while black and white striped
borders on pale pink or blue ones are
considered the limit for even the ultra
smart.
The bell crown silk hat Is an improve
ment on the stovepipe, which the we'll
dressed man abhors. Tan fedoras have
won the laurel wreath from the gray.
Straw hats with colored bands are a
match for bright cravats. Altogether
the summer man in white flannel, pink
shirt and pongee waistcoat bids fair TO
share honors with his companion. the
brilliant summer girl, who just now is
her vivid hued wardrobe.
