FALL FASHIONS FOR men
The Styles Generally Will Be
Simple and Quiet.
DISTINCT NOVELTY IN FULL DRESS

Ci..h With Collar of Shawl Pat
tern-The Tuxedo and Raglan Over
coat to Be nscarded-New Tie For
Evening Wear.
A canvass of the smart tailors and
haberdashers in New York reveals the
fact that there are to be some radical
innovations in mems wear this fall and
winter, says the New York Times. The
STYLES, as q rule are to be simple. and
every effort is to be made to make gen.
tlemen as inconspicuous as possible.
This Is by the dictate of the best dress
ed Americans, men whose tastes direct
what the best tailors do.
The most striking innovation for the
fall and winter will be the discarding
of the dinner coat. or Tuxedo. The best
dressed men have decided that it Is
common, and the fashionable tailors
are not making it for the coming sea-
sons wear. In fact, the edict has now
gone forth that no coat is smart to
wear at any formal function or in any
place where ladies are to be present
unless it has tail to it. This is true
for day as we'll as night. The evening
Jacket has come to be regarded as al
most as negligee as business coat.
There will, however, be a new coat
something like the Tuxedo. This new
coat will have breast and side pockets
and silk faced shawl collar and, I'M
like the dinner jacket, will close with
two buttons. These coats are designed
for home and club wear and are to be
worn with single breasted waistcoats
and trousers of the same material,
white shirts, black ties and either lace
or button shoes. They are just handy
dress coats to wear to dinner or to
lounge around the club in.
Another innovation is to be the ban
ishment of the raglan overcoat-every
kind of overcoat, in fact. except the
skirted and Chesterfield patterns. The
raglan has come to be considered COM
mon, and the decree has been promui-
gated that it must not be. The over
coats will fit the figure rather closely
and will not look so conspicuous as the
long flowing raglan
Although the ov6rcoat is to fit the
figure very closely. the clothes are not
to do so. The military coat has gone,
except for the very military or athletic
figure. The lines of the figure are not
to be so accentuated as they have been
heretofore. The new jacket will be
loose and will have perfectly straight
back.
A distinct novelty in an evening suit
will be made of dark gray CLOTH
with a collar Of the shawl pattern, the
coat to be faced with gray silk. The
trousers and waistcoat will be made
Of the same material as the coat
These suits are not expected to be
Worn except at stag affairs, at hotels
and clubs and at the theater when wo-
men are not in the party.
''Smart" tailors are making trousers
rather wide, but avoiding the pegtOp
form. The trousers are about 11la
inches at the knee and 1o12 inches at
the bottom. They will hang perfectly
straight from the hips.
In all evening clothes the white
waistcoat will have prominent place.
These waistcoats will be made both
single and double breasted and will
have buttons covered with the same

we'll dressed men will wear there will
be no changes worth recording. The
frock coat. too, will be virtually the
same as last year.
The dark colored shirt is gone for the
present. White shirts will prevail, and
when colors are used at all they will be
only in the simplest shades, generally
in some small figure on a white back
ground. The shirts will have fine lines,
and the bosom will be just as wide as
the chest of the wearer. a few of the
dress shirts will have very fine ribbed
pique bosoms, but the pique bosom is
not SO popular, and most shirts will
have only the plain bosom. The color.

dashers than percales are. The figures
are geometricals in black, dark blue,
red or lavender. A few stripes, narrow
and widely spaced, will also be worn.
In collars there will be a reversion
to the old wing design. The high turn
ed down affair, it is expected, will
gradually lose its vogue. There are to
be some collars designed of an entirely
new shape, but the prevailing styles
will be the wing, the poke and the
straight stander. These will be made
in both wide and narrow stitching.
