Year.
(From the Haberdasher.)
The coming autumn and winter season
| will differ but little in the 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
| will not be prominent In anything that
man wears. Sombre tones In overcoatings
and suitings and very neat color effects IN
cravatings and shirtings will form the
most prominent and distinguishing feature
| in the mode Of the coming season.
I 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 Tor inspirations. design
ers are revelling in the art of the seven-
teenth,century, house decorators are copy
| ing old interiors and furniture and the ar
chitects are drawing inspirations from the
Greek and Roman schools. In dress we
are modifying or changing fashions tnat
have been in vogue before. The culross,
the wing collar, the skirted greatcoats and
the new narrow-tip shoes are mere reVl-
walls of old-tirne fayoriteS.
STYLES IN SHIRTS.
In shirts I 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 will be of moderate width.
Some of the dress shirts will have very
fine ribbed pique bosoms, but 1 do not
think that this style will be as generally
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 pleated shirt for wear with the
Jacket. and no doubt it will be quite pop
ular with the younger set. The coloreo
shirts for day wear show with plaln
bosoms and the patterns are noticeaoly
| neat. The figures are printed on maoo-
plans or on satin brooches or percales. The
former fabrics are given more attention
In the finer shops than percales are. The
figures are neat geometricals In black,
dark blue, reds or lavender; stripes are
also displayed. They are narrow and
widely spaced. ~.
Pleated colored shirts will figure quite
| prominently for wear with business suits.
The plain neglige with centre pleat and
| made of madras or Of fine hannels Will
also be worn. The fannels 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
are in both wide and narrow stitching. Inc
wide stitched wing collar is not as signify
as that with narrow stitching, owing 10
the liability Of the edge, where the wing
bends to swell and gap. The wing collars
have well balanced, moderate spaced
| wings. the bottom of the wings forming
straight line.
In crayats all Of the forms are large.
The culrosses will be very broad and SOFT.
the ascots wide of end and free or lining.
| The best four r-in-aand will have a wide
end and be graduated to two-inch width

Of the batswing shape. For evening wear
there Is a new tie. It Is cut perfectly
straight and has square ends, 1t Is OF
uniform width throughout. When tied 1t
shows a square, fat centrepiece and the
ends stand out straight and come to the
edge Of the shirt bosom.
In clothes I find indications which point

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
tailors are making trousers rather wide,
but avoiding the peg-top form. The trous-
ers are about seventeen and one-half
inches at 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 waistcoat will be given
a very prominent place. These will be
made both single and double-breasted 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
staple fixture and it seems Impossible to
improve upon the existing standard. The
frock coat Will -De pTdCliCdilS liS Saiue
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
banished entirely from the wardrobe of
gentleman. A new coat something like the
evening jacket will be made. 1t will have
a breast and side pockets and sik-faced
shawl collar and will close with two but
tons These coats are designed for home
and club wear and are worn with single
breasted waistcoats and trousers of the
same material, white shirts, black ties and
either lace or button shoes. They're just
handy dress coats to wear down to dinner
or to hang around the house or club IN.
NOVELTIES IN DRESS.
One Of the best tailors on the avenue
will introduce several novelties this COM
ing autumn One of these IS an evening
suit made Of dark gray cloth. The collar
is Of the shawl pattern. faced with gray
silk The trousers and waistcoat are made
of the same material as the coat. The
suits are designed for wear at stag affairs,
about hotels and clubs and for the theatre
when women are not to be in the party.
