THE G0LfING SUIT.
A Set Of Clubs Only is Necessary to Make a
Change ia Costume.

Tho IuNcrG which determined style have
stepped to the relief of the man who. last
year. was obliged to forcSo the game of
golf because nature had not provided
him with 4 set Of good sized underpin-
nings that We're fully shown III the short
trousers OF the bicyclist The proper
thing this year will be long trousers with
4 coat to match. The new costume is
simply 4 repetition of old styles when
man played tennis in long white flannel
trousers with negligcc shirt sleeves rolled
up to the elbows.
There is slight change from the cos
tumc If that time. in that the coat ana
trousers which are made from the same
material are so much darker and so sim
liar in appearance to the cloth Of bust
ness suit that a man may step from the
office to the golf links ana still be prop
erly clothed.
The coat Of the new suit IS cut similar
to the old Norfolk coat except that it
has not the pleatinGs, nor the belt around
the waist 1t is Of the same square cut
pattern and may be worn either buttoncd
straight up and down or left open. It is
similar in appearance TO the skeleton blue
serge coat which is sought "a much in
warm weather by men who feel the heat.
They come in the neat grey or even dark
er goods with the invisible longitudinal
stripe. They vary from light To. dark ac-
Cording to Il mans taste, but are all OF
the light outing flannel goods and all
have The same longitudinal stripe.
The trousers may be worn with either
braces or a belt ana if the suit is to be
worn in a business place fancy vest
completes the costume.
If he wears belt he will vNar that OF
the English harness leather he wishes
to appear dressed up-to-date. These are
in almost any colors, either the light
tans the darker shades or the buckskin
finish. whatever the shade the effect
will be the same. the English harness
belt with a heavy shield taking the place
of the former designs.
If he is strictly UP to date he will wear
4 hat, not the cap which is slowly going
by although it is now and will be worn
by great many. The real ana proper
thing for Solhng is 4 cross between the
soldier and SLOUGH hat. There is
but one color. the light gray That i I'M
variable, regardless of color or complex
ion.
If he wishes a straw hat he will be
obliged TO wear one Of a slightly different
style from that he had last year Rough
pointed straws will prevail. These arc
for the most part in the sailor effects but
he will be dressed in good taste if he has
| the straw in the turban effects. This hat
| is in the pointed straw and has white
| band. From this color of band there is
but one change. y person may wear that
| if he chooses but he seeks anything else
| he will stop at a blue band for that is as
| far as the choice goes. The bands are
| perfectly plain except that fleur de lis
| appears on the side opposite the bow.
| This emblem is in but two coiors, the red
| ana the white. These, as has been stat
| ed many times, are in honor of the Paris
| exposition.
The more conservative man who has
| passed the point where he cares for a
| dashing appearance may wear straw
| with n blue band in which is a small al
| ternating blue and white stripe of a
| wavcy effect.
| There is but slight change in the hose
or the shoes. The outing shirts will be
| the same as usual but slight change be
| ing made on that point. With this cos
tune 4 man may appear i'll the office or
on the golf link and be well dressed and
not attract attention.
