lnrs-Yory Few Changes from Last
| & (From the Haberdasher.)
| The coming autumn and winter season
VIII differ but little In tho sartorial sense
from That OF last year. The changes have
been very few, and in the main represent
| some slight modification OF or departure
! from standards that have become very
familiar. Mems dress Is being held down
to very conventional lines. The run of
color that was the distinguishing feature
| OF last year is to be curtailed and color
| VIII not be prominent In anything that
man wears. Sombre tones in overcoatings
and suitlngs and very neat color effects In
crayatings and shirtings will form tho
most prominent and distinguishing feature
In the mode Of the Soming season.
| have observed in looking over the new
goods for autumn that all that is called
new, paradoxical though It may seem, Is
really old This Is the modern tendency In
all things related even In the slightest de-
degree to art. The painters are drawing
| on the old schools for inspirations, design-
| ers are revelllng in tho art of the seven
teenth century, house decorators are copy
| Ing old Interiors and furniture and the ar
ohitects arc drawing inspirations from the
Greek and Roman schools. In dress we
are modifying or changing fashions that
| have been In vogue before. Tho culross,
the wing collar, the skirted grcatcoats and
the new narrow-tip shoes are mere revi-
STYLES IN SHIRTS.
| In shirts look for very few changes
and practically, no innovations. For dress
the plain linen bosom shirt, with slightly
rounded or square link cuffs attached, will
be the best form. The bosoms Will be as
Wide as the chest of the wearer admits
The stitching VIII be OF moderate width
Some Of the dress shirts will have very
iine ribbed pidue bosoms. but l do not

accepted as the plain bosom. There will
be three stud holes In the bosoms two
of which will show In the waistcoat OPEN
Ing. The shirt for wear with the evening
Jacket Will be the same as that worn with
the swallowtail coat. Some shirt makers
show a fine pleatcd shirt for wear with the
Jacket, and no doubt 1t Will be quite pop
ular with the younger set. The colored
shirts for day wear show with plain
bosoms and tho patterns are noticeably
neat. The figures are printed OH mado-
plans OF OH satin brooches or pcrcales. The
former fabrics are given more attention
In the finer shops than percalcs are. The
figures are neat geometricals in black
dark blue, reds or lavender: stripes are
also displayed. They are narrow and
widely spaced.
Pleated coored shirts will figure quite
prominently for wear with business suits
The plain neglige with Il centre pleat and
made of madras or Of fine nannels will
also be worn. The flanncs are designed
for neglige and come in rather neat
stripes
COLLARS AND CRAvATs.
In collars the three new styles are the
wing, poke and straight stander. These
arc In both wide and narrow stitching. The
wide stitched wing collar is not as slightly
MS that with narrow stitching, owing to
the liability OF the edge, where the wing
bends, to swell and gap. The wing collars
have we'll balanced, moderate spaced
wings. the bottom of the wings forming n
straight line.
In cravats all Of the forms are large
The culrosses will be very broad and soft,
tho ascots wide Of end and free of lining.
The best four-ln-hand will have Il wide
end and he graduated to a two-inch width
al the knot Ties. IL sold at all, will be
OF the batswing shape. For evening wear
there Is n new tie. IT Is cut perfectly
straight and has square ends. 1t is of
uniform width throughout When tied 1t
shows square, flat centrcp!cce and the
ends stand out straight and come to the
edge of the shirt bosom
IN clothes l find indications which point
to the usual fight OF the taors to force
new fashions In the first place, we will
have the annual cry for color In evening
dress and for the freedom from blacks
and whites In day dress. All OF this do
rot think will amount to much. The best
taiiors arc making trousers rather wide,
but avoiding the peg-top form. The trous-
ers are about seventeen and one half
inches Mt the knee and fifteen and one
half at the bottoms. They will hang per-
fectly straight from the hips. For even
Ing dress the white wais. coat will be given
n very prominent place. These will be
made both single and doublc-brcasted and
Will have buttons covered with the mate
rial OF which the waistcoat is made. In
evening dress coats there will be no change
worth recording. That garment Is a
staple fixture and 1t seems Impossible to
improve CT Ri
frock coat will be practically the same
as last year.
The evening Jacket will not be made at
all by smart tailors. 1t is now ready
made. Cheap John" article and may be
banishcd entirely from the wardrobe Of a |
gentleman. new coat something like the
evening Jacket Will be made. 1t Will have
a breast and side pockets and sk-face
shawl collar and Will close with two but
tons. These coats are designed for home
ana club wear and are worn with single
breasted walstcoats and trousers OF the
same material. white shirts, black ties and
either lace or button shoes. They're lust
handy dress coats to wear down. to dinner
or to hang around the house or club In.
