UPROARIOUS APPAREL.
Period Would Make Solomon
Look Like Thirty Cents.

Some hopeful people had an idea last sum.
mer that the limit had about been reached
in the lend colors of mems attire, in shirts,
ties, Hosiery, and soft hats, and that this
summer might see a return to more placid
and subdued hues'and patterns as sort OF
reaction. The advance styles in the win.
dows of the haberdashers' shops indicate
that such hopes are vain and that linen and
things will this year be even more startling
than last season. if that be possible. Some
OF the shirts on display in the windows seem
to actually shrek through the glass at the
observer, and the width of the stripes is of
the general style and pattern SO long popu
lar at Joliet penitentiary. These conversa
tional shirts have gradually grown worse
and worse each year until now the pcssimists
do not see how anything worse can happen
than the things which are now on sale.
The red hat affected by the college boy
last year and its side partner, the blue crush
hat, have rival this year in a pale white hat,
with the under side of the brim and also the
band of deep blue, making striking con-
trast of color, which seems to be what is
most particularly desired.
All the tlashy patterns in hosiery, the
plaids, the reds and yellows and green's in
combination, are once more to the fore, and

bury having been far too shrewd to take for

he probably having seduced them with
promises of some ready cash, backed with
visions of prize money and the high favor
OF British officers. I had warrant for thus
believing, for my mate had suddenly lowered
his voice as he referred to the treasure be-
low, in all likelihood for the purpose of con-
cealing from the man at the wheel its pres
