The alternating current electric fan was
invented in ST. Louis. The first one that
was ever successful commercially was made
by the late A. W. Meston. and, while his
pattern has long since been displaced by
improved ones, the principle that he dis
covered and applied still underlies all of
the successful mechanisms of the present

home Of this particular kind of FAM and
the fact that these Important orders are

that the business is being kept at home.

Hose.

Although the epidemic Of fancy patterns

the half-hose OF bright colors to pass away.
the patterns will be much more conserva-
tive this winter. Gaudy stripes and figures
VIII not be in good taste, and the subdued
tones will be immensely popular. Dark
bodies with oome lighter unobtrusive pat
tern will be favorably considered. while one
novelty has been introduced from England
which may or may not be popular. This is
. sock Of blue. black or brown silk. with an
underwriting Of some lighter color, which
shows when the sock is stretched upon the
foot. For evening wear this sock is made in
black silk. with some light color showing

Collars.

The most noteworthy change in collars
will be In the patterns Of high band collars
which are likely to figure largely this win
ter. although primarily a summer fabric.
It is estimated that at least IS per cent OF
collars for everyday wear this winter will
be Of the high band variety. and numerous
variations in its patterns may be expected.
The patterns In standing collars will be
much the same as last year, the variations
being largely based on the whim of the
wearer. To those who like a close-ftting
collar 1t will be welcome news to learn that
collars OF divided sizes will probably be
placed on the market. sizes being arranged
by the quarter-inch instead of by half-inch
divisions.
The attached cuff will figure largely In
public wear this winter. and. as has been
said. round point cuffs will be worn with
dress shirts. while there Is likely to be a
return to the square point cuff toward the
end OF the winter. Detachable cuffs will
follow the same rules.

With the wearing Of larger cravats will
come a revival In the demand for puffs and
