! become an accepted garment and before
| the summer is half over we will have

! as curiosity"
! Ihls paragraph appeared in a mems
fashion journal early in the spring, and
many merchants believed that the pre-
! dlctlon justified them in making or hay
! ing made large stocks Of the garments
! IN white as well as fancy patterns, says
! the New York Tribune. The weather
mas been unfavOrable for coatless COS
| tunes, but many haberdashers say that
! even If it had been warm the shirt waist
| would not have sold in quantities slf1-
! clent to justify the assertion of TIE.
! fashion prophet 1T will be worn by
| very young men and, to a limited extent.
| by men who have passed the young
| mark said a. habcrdasher, but it will
! not take the place of the negligee shirt.
| That has become a fixture, and it is
| better looking article today than it ever
was"
The popular shirt this season has a
| plated front, snort cuffs, and Is cut low
| er in the neck than heretofore The best
| shirts. botn white and fancy, are made
| to close with mother-of- pearl or smoked
! pearl buttons, fancy shirt buttons being
reserved for the white "boiled shirt.
| Inc fancy designs which were shown last
! year have been made up into lower grade.
| cambria and fina muslin shirts are made
OF striped material. the stripes ranging
| from the invisible pin" to the avn
| ing patterns. Negligee shirts are BENG
! SoId IN department stores at prices rang
| Ing from 40 cents to $50, but fashiona BILE
| haberdashers' prices are much higher.
| one concern is making many shirts at
! SII.5e each. These are made of India silk,
| and each shirt has an embroidered mono

\ white linen.
HIGH COLORED HOSIERY.
High colored hosiery will be worn again
! this summer, and the patterns which
We're looked upon as loud" last summer
Will be popular. Many new styles in
| openWork hosiery are shown by dealers
IN imported goods, but the prices Of these
| preclude popularity.
| Belts are narrower than they were last
| year, the proper width being about IL
| inches. Some of the fancy Kind have a
| fob of the same material attached to the
left side, with a metal catch for a watch.
These belts are really made to be worn
with a shirt waist" said the dealer in
mems wear" but they will go just as
we'll with negligee shirt. The fob may
be turned in, so that the watch is con-
! cealed by the trousers, or 1t may be al
| lowed to hang at the belt"
The two-inch foUr-inLhand and the
broad end string tie will be worn extern
| sive1y, but not to the exclusion OF the
! broader, fluffy scarf which will be worn
| when WaistcOats are part Of the costume.
| Every showcase contains high colOred
neckwear, and much Of this will be worn,
! although blues and greens will be pre-
ferred. The high rundown collar will
| be worn again this season, bat there IS
! a growing tendency toward a cooler neck
! adorhment, and makers Of collars think
| that another season will bring a common
/ sense collar into the market The low
! shoe, with broad sole and low heel, IL
| calf and patent leather, will be worr by
| the best dressed men. Russet shoes will
! be worn for outing and for day Wear but
the efforts Of the yellow shoe champions
| to gain first place for it have been un-
| successful.
This will be a good glove season"
/ said the habeTdaSher, IF the first days
| of the season may be looked upon as in
| dicative Of what will follow. Gloves in
drab and brown of medium weight will
! be worn by well dressed men all through
I the warm season. The custom has been
growing steadily, and last summer we
sold more gloves for street wear than
| ever before, and expect to double the
| sales this year" Because of the queer
back from the wrist the inside color of
| gloves has ceased to be a thing of indif-
| ference.
| STRAW HATS.
Straw hats for this season are low in
| crown and narrow in brim. The popular
| hat with the youngest men is made Of
| heavy braid, although the medium rough
| braid will have a greater sale. Straw
| hats of the Alpine shape had a short and
| unprofit able run last summer, but they
| are in the market again, and because Of
| the popularity OF the Panama hat will
! probably be worn extensively The
| Panama hats, which were seen early, are
! cheaper than they were in former years,
and will consequently be worn more than
| ever before. The real article is made Of
| close woven straw and resembles can
vas, and sells, in keeping with the quail
| ity, at prices ranging from S12 to S25
| Good limitations sell for So The genuine
| hats come from Porto Rico, Cuba and
| Venezuela, and a lighter article, but
| darker in color, comes from Manila
| Outer garments for men for the summer
| season will resemble TIE spring garments
| in cut. Coats for business wear are short
| and slightly shaped to the figure Light
| and fancy waistcoats will be worn with
| business and day dress costumes. For
| outing, fancy striped flannels will be
| popular The yachting season will make
| blue popular color, but suits made of
| serge will be preferred to flannel of that
| color. Sack coats resembling single
| breasted pea jackets, made of blue serge,
| will be worn extensively and a fad In
| connection with this garment is to button
| only the lower button.

| in Africa have brought dark cloths to
