STYLES In MEMS DRESS.
FASHIONS THAT WILL BE POPC-
LAR THIS FALL IND WINTER.

Sombre Colorings and Neat Effects-Day
and Evening skirts-WrinkIes in Col
lars-Very Few Changes from Last
Year.
CFrom 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 nea color effects IN
cravatings and shirtings will form the
most prominent and distinguishing feature
in the mode OF the coming season.
7 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
chitects are drawing inspirations from the
Greek and Roman schools. In dress we
are modifying or changing fashions that
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-tne favorites.
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 bosoHS Will De as
wide as the chest Of the wearer admits.
The stitching will be Of moderate wloth.
Some of the dress shirts will nave very
fine ribbed pique bosoms, but l do not
think that this style will be as generally
accepted as the plain bosom. There will
he 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 re quite pop
uIar with the younger set. The coIoreo
shirts for day wear show with plain
bosons and the patterns are noticeably
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. Inc
figures are neat geometricals IN oiack,
dark blue, reds or lavender; stripes are
also displayed. They are narrow ana
widely spaced.
Pleated colored shirts will figure quite
prominently for wear with business SUITS.
The plain neglige with a centre pleat and
made of madras or Of fine flannels Will
.1za ~ fan are designed
for neglige and come IL rather neat
stripes.
COLLARS AND CRAVATS.
In collars the three new styles are the
wing, poke and straight Stander. ihese
are in both wide and narrow sttcnlng. Inc
wide stitched wing collar is not as signify
as that with narrow stitching, owing 10
tns 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 a
straight line.
In crayats all OF the forms are large.
The culrosses will be very broad and sott'
the ascots wide Of end and free OF lining.
The best four-in-fand will have a wide
end and be graduated to tWo-inch Width
at the knot. Ties, if sold at all, vii! De
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 tleo II
shows square, fat centreNece ana the
ends stand out straight ana come 10 lne
edge Of the shirt tosom.
In clothes I find indications which point
to the usual fight Of the ts.ilors 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. AL Of tnis do
rot think will amount to much. The best
tailcrs are making trousers rather WIDE
out avoiding the pes-top form. The srous-
ers are about seventeen and one-haf
inches at the knee and fifteen and one
half at the bottoms. They viii hang per-
fectly straight from the hips. For even
ing dress the white waistcoa; Will be given
a very prominent place. These will be
made both single and doubln-breasted and
will have buttons covered with the mate
rial Of which the waistcoat is made. In
evening dress coats there viii! be no change
worth recording. That garment is g.
STAPLE fixture and it seems Impossible to
improve upon the existing standard. The
frock coat will be practically the same
as last year.
The evening jacket will not be made az
made, Cheap John" article, and may be
baaished entirely from the wardrobe Of 4
gentleman a new coat something like the
evening jacket will be made. 1t will have
a breast and side pockets and siik-faced
shawl collar and will close with two but
tons. These coats are designed for home
and club wear and are WON 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 taiors 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 wai5tcoat are made
Of the same material as the coat. The
suits are designed Cor wear at stag affairs,
clyhS and for the thea
