STYLES IN MEMS DRESS
A Return to More Sober Effects
In Clothing Is Noted.
NEW WRINKLES IN WINTER TIES.

shirts-Staple ColOrings to Be Main
tanned In GlOves-COrrect Styles In
Shoes and Hats.
There are unmistakable evidences of
q return to less color and to more white
and black in our dress. The fancy
fiannels have just about killed color.
With shirts screaming to heaven, ties
proclaiming every tone in the rainbow
and half hose and hatbands vying
with each other in brilliancy, it only
needed the colored suit to make men
of taste run to cover. Now white neg
ligees, if you please, black belts, quiet
ties, black shoes, black hatbands, blue
serges, neat black and white and
brown suitings-there it is-the pin
nacle of fashion, the acme of good
form.
/ hardly think that this revolution
will lead into winter clothing except
to a limited extent, says correspond
ent of The Haberdasher. The large
cravats which will be popular will be
in brilliant colors, but shirts will be
more subdued. and blacks, grays and
browns will be the colol suitings par
excellence.
And about winter cravats just
word or two. There are some new
wrinkles, some new forms and twists,
and you ought to know them. First,
then, the large cravat the 'culross,"
will not be tied in the once over form
as universally as it was last year. The
new kink is this: Take a 'culross,"
put in about your neck, make the first
move as in tying an ascot Let the
upper apron hang straight down. Pin
it with rather a large pin, about one
third Of the distance between the collar
button and the place where the waist
coat opening commences. It's very
simple-any one can do it. Then the
"culross" will also be tied in the old
fashioned ascot way, and fourth
hands, folded in, and big and broad,
will be tied very loosely, with a large
pin In the aprons. The derbies will be
worn with high banders. as will the
"ogees" or butterflies and the batwings.
These ties will have pointed and
square ends.
In shirts there are likely to be very
few changes. certainly none of impor-
tance in either the white or colored.
The dress shirt will be made of pure
white, plain bosom showing three stud
holes. Embroidery or plaits will not
be correct. The cuffs will be very
slightly rounded and square. The re-
turn to square points is not at all as
sured. | mention it because several
very smart custom shirt makers have
brought it out.
In colored shirts the percales will
show neat combinations in colors and
small units and stripes. The striped
madras shirtings will be in every treat
ment, in either blue, OK blood, black
| or hello in combination with white
The stripes will run up and down the
bosom, but some patterns will be made
with the cross stripe treatments.
believe cross stripes will figure quite
| extensively in custom made shirts
For golf. panama and flannels neal
striped and checkered patterns will bt

| combinations and the loud effects will
not receive that attention which they
enjoyed last year.
In gloves our staple colorings will bt

saddler stitched, will be proper fol
walking-the smoke pearl with sell
backs for full dress and the slate anC
tan chevrettes for afternoon. The
gloves will close with the bone or pear
button. Today the metal clasp is tn,
earmark of the cheap glove. For walk
ing and outing the gloves should be a
least n size larger than is usually worn
For dress, gloves should fit faultlessly
In shoes we will stick TO the fat sol,
with outswung last, the vamp to hav,
a plain tip, with row of hole ornamen
on the inner side and another row
where the uppers are attached to th
vamp. For day wear, black calf will
laced uppers; for formal wear, paten
feathers with buttoned calf uppers
There is no place in the entire bill o
correct dress for laced patent feathers
The high or silk hats. as we'll as tn
crush hats, will show a slightly belle,
crown and rather narrow. well curlet
brim. The derby will be small an,
very much like last springs model
The soft hats will continue to be popu
lar. They will have wide brims ant
high crowns. and will be worn witt
plain ribbon band.
The trend in all things is toward tn
moderate and unobtrusive. There vii
be no radical introductions and N
color fads. The season is sure to b
marked by a very conservative tone
one that denotes the disgust of ma
with license in the matter Of colors an
boldness in dress. 1t is the same oil
fight against extremes and extrava
gances that the sensible American ma
always be relied upon to win.
