FASHIONS FOR MEN.
They're Decidedly Quiet This Year
Some Extraordinary Creations,
but Who Wears Them.

1t is one thing for tailors and habCr-
dashers and others who are interested III
the trade end of fashions to tell you
what to wear, and quite another for the
men who pay attention to dress to wear
the garments and articles recommended.
But the spirit of conservatism has swept
over many. There are rumors of new
frock coats, with wide skirts TO be worn
unbuttOned, and to be held together by a
broad ribbon, but the question is, Who
Is going to wear them? The frock coat
has been worn unbuttoned for the past
ten years. Fancy waistcoats have been
IN fashion for about the same period.
Wel-dressed men of today contine them
selves to white duck or buff, but English
men still wear the most hideous and ex-
tra0rdlnary ill-htting waistcoats-dou-
ble-breasted, wide-lapeled affairs.
The fashions are quiet this year. For
morning suits the shades are gray in all
variations-gray mixed with black. gray
with thread of red, or a faint indica-
ton of green, dark grays and light grays,
the old pepper and salt, slate color, and
Oxford mixtures. Green is seen i'll many
of the Scottish and homespuns, but it Is
not aggressive; it is simply suggested.
in fact, there is nothing which would be
in the least marked in the patterns. The
material which Mr.. Follansbee has Sc
lected for morning suit has such faint
lines of blush green that you would DOT
detect them unless you saw them in the
sunlight The suit is a sack, with "a
jacket coat not too short.
Tailors are again using the outside
breast pocket, but it must be square and
not perpendicular. These latter pockets
appear on many of the ready-made suits
and make the nnntS nhnnn and hi,Inn,,.,
