THE SHIRT WAIST man
Ruled Out. The Gay Colored
Shirt Frowned Upon
BY Authorities.

| every dTllcle VI uIeSS LOT uleL are fuul
cal, almost revolutionary, in character
The London fashions will obtain this
year more than ever before, says the
New York World. Many of our most
fashionable tailors and haberdashers
have arranged to have their London
| representatives keep them Informed OF
all changes by cable. This custom is q
new one>and will serve to keep Ameri-
cans in closer~touch with the actual
leaders of fashion than ever before.
The simplicity Of the coming win.
ters styles will apply particularly to
shirts. The privilege granted by fash
lon for expressing ones taste in the col
ors Of shlrtings has been sadly abused.
The present riot of colors in shirts has
never had the sanction Of any regular
authority in fashions. There will be
little or no color in the new shirtings.
The correct shirt will be plain white,
with collars and cuffs attached. The
only allowable design in colors will be
plain vertical stripes on background
Of white. All designs in color and in
horizontal stripes will be quite imposs-
bic. For evening dress the plain white
bosom with two studs is prescribed. 1t
may be remarked here that the best
shirt makers frown upon the SO called
shirt waist man. Several of these hab-
erdashers "hen seen recently said that
the innovation never for moment re-
ceived any authoritative recognition.
There VIII be fewer designs in collars
for this season than for many years
previous. Whereas dozen different
styles or variations Of styles have pre-
vailed, choice will hereafter be restrict
ed to one of two forms. These are
the high standing collar and the high
band turn down. All collars will be
white and must be worn very high.
The only liberty Of choice will lie be-
tween square and rounded corners,
though the best authorities favor the
square corners. In the choice of cuffs
either the round or square corners will
be allowable.
A great deal Of attention has been
given to ties. The strict ruling cover
Ing the choice of colors in shirtings
will also apply to ties. Gay colors in
ties will hereafter be considered quite
out of the question. Ties of solid col
ors and only quiet designs are to be
worn. In place of the Bagdad and 9th
err obtrusive designs the only decora-
tons will be the simplest unit designs
In geometric forms. The white polka
dot will probably be the commonest
There will be no new forms of ties,
while all the old, tried forms will con.
tinue. The string and butterfly bow
ties, the four-in-hand. the ascot, the
derby and culross will all survive. 1t
will be very bad form, however, to
wear a ready made tie. The color Of
the tie must harmonize exactly with
the shirt. The same tone of simplicity
will govern the choice of scarfpin. 1t
will no longer be allowable to wear any
Of the conspicuous designs mounted on
safety pins. The correct thing will be
a solitaire stone on simple design,
preferably in gold Simplicity in ali
jewelry is the rule.
Gloves this fall should be Of red tan
or slate tones. They should be heavy
cape saddle stitched. For informal
evening functions the gloves should be
Of chevrette of very light slate tone,
with self stitching on the back. For
wear at formal evening affairs the
glove should be light weight suede of
white pearl tint. Gloves should fas.

glove is provided for fashionable out.
door wear. In the matter Of shoes
there is no radical change. The fash
iOnable forms have round toes without
boxes and an unusually heavy sole. In
winter shoes soles will be heavier than
ever. The correct colors will be black
and dark tan. Patent leather will be
worn less for general wear than here.
tofore. All shoes will be laced
The hats for the fall and winter pre-.
sent several distinctive styles The
correct forms will be the derby and
silk hat Felt hats of all designs will
be seen less frequently than last year.
The derby will be worn very low In the
crown. The rim differs from recent
styles in being apprcciably heavier,
though 1t remains very narrow. The
roll Of the brim Is closer and gives the
hat stoclSier, squat appearance The
colors will be black and very dark
brown and pearl. The high hat has a
heavy narrow brim and top of exag-
gerated bell shape. 1t is in part re-
turn to the form Of 30 years ago.
The fashionable styles in clothing

signs and very quiet colors. A certain

The only striking novelty Is the Nor.
folk jacket, which of course comes
from London. This coat resembles the
old Norfolk jacket except that the
plaits stop a few inches below the
shoulder, while a yoke runs beneath
the arm. For business dress the cor
rect coats will be the single breasted
sack with either three or four buttons
md the three buttoned double breasted
sack. Both these coats should be worn
rather shorter than last year. The new
styles are cut on the new military mod
