BULLFlGHTER'S FOUR-IN- HAND.
NECKTIE THAT GIVES TIE FINISH
ING TOUCH TO A SMART SHIRT.

Dukeling.
New York, May 2S-There is a ginger
in the sunlight just now that brings the
negligee shirt into refreshing evidence
and proves that in its finest and best ex-
preston it is of linen. The thoughtful
shirtmal1er persuasively argues that pure
linen is the coolest fabric going, that IL
absorbs moisture more rapidly and dries
more expeditiousy than any other goods
and beside it is novelty rather too costly
to become vulgarized.
In consequence the man who takes
thought as to the wherewithal he shall
be clothed is for the country clad all in
lily linen white. His most effective toilet
consists of purely white shirt of linen,
the bosom laid in tucks that are lightly
starched the cuffs rather narrow and the
collar lofty and adjustable. 1t is simply
kicking against the pricks for an easy
going masculine to resent that high hot
yoke of linen, because it is the fashion
and it's fashion come to stay, with the
only alleviating circumstance of round or
square corners broken back under the
chin. Men who get the latest whisper of
the mode from England adopt the squared
off points while it savors of American in
dependence to display rounded flaps.
The Bull Ring Effect.
The necktie that gives the finishing
touch to the summer shirt is long mar
row bull fighters four-in-hand else a
coquettish bat. wing with pointed ends
The most interesting four-in4hand is built
of soft meshy English silk of black pep
pered with sand spots of white and this
ground work traversed by fine lines of
red or blue. A very Spanish not to say
bull ring effect is achieved by the men
who prowl the links in white outing shirts
and vivid pomegranate red silk four-in-
hands. One of the gayest combinations
of the season in smart society is gray
WOODEN clothes worn with white linen and
a red four-in-hand, else a tie of silk in
a distinctly loud shade of lavender.
The red necktie however, should be leg
islated out of the reach of blonde men
who, when there is a touch of auburn
in their hair are guilty of setting a SEN
sative spectators teeth on edge.
There is a reprehensible bigness and
conspicuousness about the scarfpin of even

| to have obscured a 25-cent piece.

Though gilded American youths have

attention is given to the glorifcation OF

purpose, but 1t is distinctly second best

strap that binds the ful ness OF the close
rolled silk widths together.
Summer Gloves.
Except for driving they are a myth with
most men unless there is a wedding to be

suede with two heavy pearl buttons is the
