There is an unmistakable tendency In
certain quarters to boom something new
for evening dress. / have observed the ef-
forts made by several prominent dealers to
force pleated an embroidered shirt for
evening dress. Candidly, / think this sort
of thing should be discouraged. There
should be no haste to change the perma-
nent standards simply for the sake of
change. The less room the mode permits q
man for the display of his individual ideas
and taste, the better off mankind in general
will be. Evening dress Is now perfectly

The link buttons are made in the form of
oval or round buttons and have gold or
white threads in the middle. The shirt
studs may be solitaire pearls or buttons of
mother-of-pearl with threads in the center

Gloves VIII be of white-pearl tint with
self-backs and closing with one large pearl
button Clasps on evening gloves are no
longer in good form.
The cravats designed for autumn and
winter wear will be larger than those worn
during the summer. / look for the return
