That has become fixture, and it is a
better-looking article today than it ever
was"

pleated front, short cuffs, and is cut lower
in the neck than heretofore. The best
shirts, both white and fancy, are made
pearl buttons, fancy shirt buttons being
reserved for the white "boiled shirt"
The fancy designs which were shown last
year have been made up into lower-grade,
read y-made shirts. The best madras,
cambria and fine muslin shirts are made
from the invisible PIN to the awning"
patterns. Negligee shirts are being sold
in department stores at prices ranging
from 40 cents to $3.50, but fashionable
haberdashers' prices are much higher.
One concern is making many shirts at
silk, and each shirt has an embroidered
monogram on the left sleeve. The cuffs
Of these shirts and the band are made Of
white linen.
High Colored Hosiery.

when waistcoats are part of the costume:
Every showcase contains high-colored
neckwear, and mucn or this will be
preferred. The high rundown collar
will be worn again this season. but there
is a growing tendency toward cooler
neck adornment, and makers of collars
think that another season will bring
common-sense collar into. the market.
The low shoe. with broad sole and low
heel. in calf and patent leather, will be
worn by the best-dressed men. Russell
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 unsuccessful.
This will be good glove season,
Indicative of what will follow. Gloves
in drab and brown Of medium weight
will be worn by well dressed men all
through the warm season. The custom

close woven straw, and resembles canvas,
and sells, in keeping with the quality, at
prices ranging from $12 to $25. Good
limitations sell for So. The genuine hats
come from Porto Rico, Cuba and Vene-
zuela. and a lighter article, but darker
in color. comes from Manila.
Outer garments for men for the sum-
mer season will resemble the spring gar
ments in cut. Coats for business wear
are short and slightly shaped to the fig
ure. Light and fancy waistcoats will be
worn with business and day dress Co.'S
tunes. For outing, fancy striped fannels
will be popular. The yachting season
will make blue a popular color, but suits
made of serge will be preferred to fan

coming, season are subdued in color.
There has not been such an absence of
loud patterns in many years. But the
patterns are rich in design and will make

Last summer some men made desper-
ate efforts to seek recognition for the
white waistcoat worn with the dinner
coat. The same question has come up
once more, and leading authority has
answered: "A Tuxedo coat is not q full
dress garment, and neither white tie nor
white waistcoat should be worn with it,
in winter or in summer."-New York
