Cravats will be smaller, thanks to the
great popularity of the high-banded turn
down collar, and the colored shirt. In all
forms of tieable cravats the idea will be
| to get proportions that will admit of their
entering tremendously into the scheme
made up by cravat and collar. One must
hang to the other perfectly. The ~ and
lTs-inch four-in-hands and the new broad
i end ties will go we'll with the high bander.

hands the borders are of moderate width

no nconsiderable part of the seasons SELL

are Swallowed.

find that in the finer grades neat effects

| people who are showing the most violent
patterns and colors. A pair of silk socks,

| pair in the same design, also won my eS-

| W ere made for man with ideas of his own
on dress. The garments were OF the fnest
| quality of silk in shifting patterns. The
stripes were very deliberately decorated
| with odd effects in raised cords. The jack
| cts were made to button on the side. and
| had military collars. The effects were in
| blues and white, hello and white, and reds
and white. The frogs were of a special
| design and were made Of heavy black silk
cord.
A very useful garment lately worn by
some men in England who still adhere to
cycling as pastime, and also by country
doctors who find d wheel genuine help
in obeyinS emergency calls, Is sort OF
compromise between riding brooches and
CATERS 1t is, in fact, pair of trousers
cut very snug to the legs below the knee,
| and extended over the shoe, 50 as to form
| CATERS, and to buckle under the sole by
means of straps exactly like those on ordl
| nary "spats." These things are much
| s,narter-looking than knickers and stock
| ngs-they are warmer, and they make 1t
quite easy to wear underpants. which is
| hardly to be accomplished with Knockers
and stockings. OF course. ordinary shoes
| can also be worn with Them while in stock
ings anything but low shoe looks awk-
ward. But, indeed, the few smart men who
| now ride wheel are practically never seen
| in Knockers. They use riding breeches and
| boX-cloth leggngs, just as for horseback.
The particular coat which is coming into
London styles is made of fairly dark
| check material. with some green of a sub
| dued kind in the mixture. There is large
ovcrrunning pattern formed by lines of
darker brown than any of the mixture
| yarns, else of red. These lines run YER
| ticaIly and horizontally. and form outline
squares of three inches or so a side. They
are not unduly conspicuous. The cloth.
though soft, is rough in texture. The coat
| is very long, SO as to protect the legs well.
| 1t reaches to within foot of the ground,
| and buttons well up at the front. 1t is
singlebreasted and sleeveless, furnished
with large patch pockets and covered by
huge flaps. The cape is full and reaches
to the wrist when allowed to hang over the
straight arm: in other words, it falls to
line some inches below the hip. The pock-
cts do not slant. The cape is fixed; it does
not come off. and it is buttoned down by
tab on the middle of the back There may
or may not be cloth loops inside to put the
arms through in rough, windy weather.
This point will depend the fancy of the
wearer. The lining is of dark, plain cloth.

farlane."
There has been but little change since
last season in collars The poke is the
favorite for semi-dress, the lap-front stand
er for evening dress, the Highlander for
informal dress. And the dress cravat is the
broad-end tie, just as it was a year ago,
and the once-over ascot, or the ascot tied
in the regular form, is still the best for
afternoon wear.
For wear with the Highlander, the i'm
per1al or the narrow four-in-h hand and the
bat-wing tie are good.
In all the minor points, or, rather, arti-
Giles OF dress, we stick very closely to the
forms that prevailed last winter
